LTC1438/LTC1439
Dual High Efficiency,
Low Noise, Synchronous
Step-Down Switching Regulators
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC
®
1438/LTC1439 are dual, synchronous step-
down switching regulator controllers which drive external
N-channel power MOSFETs in a phase-lockable fixed
frequency architecture. The Adaptive Power
TM
output stage
selectively drives two N-channel MOSFETs at frequencies
up to 400kHz while reducing switching losses to maintain
high efficiencies at low output currents.
An auxiliary 0.5A linear regulator using an external PNP
pass device provides a low noise, low dropout voltage
source. A secondary winding feedback control pin (SFB1)
guarantees regulation regardless of load on the main
output by forcing continuous operation.
An additional comparator is available for use as a low
battery detector. A power-on reset timer (POR) is included
which generates a signal delayed by 65536/f
CLK
(typ
300ms) after the output is within 5% of the regulated
output voltage. Internal resistive dividers provide pin
selectable output voltages with remote sense capability on
one of the two outputs.
The operating current levels are user-programmable via
external current sense resistors. Wide input supply range
allows operation from 3.5V to 30V (36V maximum).

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life

Note 2:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation P
D
according to the following formulas:
LTC1438CG, LTC1439CG: T
J
= T
A
+ (P

)(95°C/W)

Note 3:
The LTC1438 and LTC1439 are tested in a feedback loop which
servos V
OSENSE1,2
to the balance point for the error amplifier
(V
ITH1,2
= 1.19V).
Note 4:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency. See Applications Information.
Note 5:
Oscillator frequency is tested by measuring the C
OSC
charge and
discharge current (I
OSC
) and applying the formula:
f
OSC
(kHz) = 8.4(10

Note 6:
The auxiliary regulator is tested in a feedback loop which servos
V
AUXFB
to the balance point for the error amplifier. For applications with
V
AUXDR
> 9.5V, V
AUXFB
uses an internal resistive divider. See Applications
Information section.
Note 7:
The LTC1439EG is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
