LTC3897
PolyPhase™ Synchronous
Boost Controller with Input/
Output Protection
DescripTion
The
LTC
®
3897
is a synchronous boost DC/DC controller
with surge stopper and ideal diode controller.
The boost controller drives two N-channel power MOSFET
stages out-of-phase to reduce input and output capacitor
requirements, allowing the use of smaller inductors than
the single-phase equivalent. Synchronous rectification
reduces power loss and eases thermal requirements.
The surge stopper controls the gate of an external N-channel
MOSFET to protect against high voltage input transients and
provides in-rush current control, overcurrent protection and
output disconnect for the boost converter. The integrated
ideal diode controller drives another N-channel MOSFET to
replace a Schottky diode for reverse input protection and
voltage holdup or peak detection. It controls the forward
voltage drop across the MOSFET and minimizes reverse
current flow.
The LTC3897 is available in thermally-enhanced 38-pin
leadless QFN or 38-lead TSSOP packages.
