LTC3831
High Power Synchronous
Switching Regulator Controller
for DDR Memory Termination
DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
3831 is a high power, high efficiency switching
regulator controller designed for DDR memory termina-
tion. The LTC3831 generates an output voltage equal
to 1/2 of an external supply or reference voltage. The
LTC3831 uses a synchronous switching architecture
with N-channel MOSFETs. Additionally, the chip senses
output current through the drain-source resistance of the
upper N-channel FET, providing an adjustable current limit
without a current sense resistor.
The LTC3831 operates with input supply voltage as low as
3V and with a maximum duty cycle of > 91%. It includes
a fixed frequency PWM oscillator for low output ripple
operation. The 200kHz free-running clock frequency can
be externally adjusted or synchronized with an external
signal from 100kHz to above 500kHz. In shutdown mode,
the LTC3831 supply current drops to <10μA.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
All currents into device pins are positive; all currents out of device
pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to ground unless otherwise
specified.
Note 3:
Supply current in normal operation is dominated by the current
needed to charge and discharge the external FET gates. This will vary with
the LTC3831 operating frequency, operating voltage and the external FETs
used.
Note 4:
The LTC3831EGN is guaranteed to meet performance
specifications from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C
operating temperature range are assured by design, characterization
and correlation with statistical process controls. The LTC 3831IGN is
guaranteed to meet performance specifications over the full –40°C to 85°C
temperature range.
Note 5:
Rise and fall times are measured using 10% and 90% levels. Duty
cycle and nonoverlap times are measured using 50% levels.
Note 6:
Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 7:
PV
CC1
must be higher than V
CC
by at least 2.5V for TG to operate
at 95% maximum duty cycle and for the current limit protection circuit to
be active.
Note 8:
The current limiting amplifier can sink but cannot source current.
Under normal (not current limited) operation, the output current will be
zero.
Note 9:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to protect
the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction temperature
will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active. Continuous
operation above the specified maximum operating junction temperature may
impair device reliability.
