LTC7150S/LTC7150S-4 20V, 20A Synchronous Step-Down Regulator FEATURESDESCRIPTION n AEC-Q100 Qualified for Automotive Applications The LTC®7150S is a high efficiency monolithic synchronous n Silent Switcher®2 Architecture for Low EMI buck regulator capable of delivering 20A to the load. It uses n VIN Range: 3.1V to 20V a phase lockable controlled on-time constant frequency, cur- n VOUT Range: 0.6V to 5.5V rent mode architecture. PolyPhase operation allows multiple n Differential VOUT Remote Sense LTC7150S regulators to run out-of-phase, which reduces n Adjustable Frequency: 400kHz to 3MHz the amount of input and output capacitors required. The n PolyPhase® Operation: Up to 12 Phases operating supply voltage range is from 3.1V to 20V. n Output Tracking and Soft-Start The operating frequency is programmable from 400kHz to n Reference Accuracy: 0.6V ±1% Over Temperature 3MHz with an external resistor. The high frequency capability n Current Mode Operation for Excellent Line and Load allows the use of physically smaller inductor and capaci- Transient Response tor sizes. For switching noise sensitive applications, the n Accurate 1.2V Run Pin Threshold LTC7150S can be external y synchronized from 400kHz n Supports Forced Continuous/Discontinuous Modes to 3MHz. The PHMODE pin allows the user control of the n 42-Lead 6mm × 5mm × 1.3mm BGA Package phase of the outgoing clock signal. The unique constant frequency/controlled on-time architecture is ideal for high APPLICATIONS step-down ratio applications that operate at high frequencies while demanding fast transient response. The LTC7150S n Server Power Applications uses second generation Silent Switcher technology includ- n Distributed Power Systems ing integrated bypass capacitors to deliver a highly efficient n Point of Load Supply for ASIC, FPGA, DSP, µP, etc. solution at high frequencies with excellent EMI performance.
