The LTC
®
3802 is a dual switching regulator controller
optimized for high efficiency step-down conversion from
input voltages between 3V to 30V. The controller uses a
leading edge modulation scheme to allow extremely low
duty cycle operation. The constant frequency voltage mode
controller allows a phase-lockable frequency between
330kHz and 750kHz. Power loss and noise due to the ESR
of the input capacitors are minimized by operating the two
controller output stages 180° out of phase. The synchro-
nous buck architecture automatically shifts to Burst Mode
operation as the output load decreases, ensuring maxi-
mum efficiency over a wide range of load currents.
The LTC3802 features an onboard, trimmed 0.6V refer-
ence and provides better than 1% regulation at the con-
verter outputs. A separate output sense provides real time
overvoltage protection and PGOOD sensing. An FBT pin
programs the power-up/-down tracking between the two
channels to meet various sequencing requirements. A
RUN/SS pin provides soft-start and externally program-
mable current limit protection functions.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LTC3802 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.
Note 3:
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 4:
To ensure proper operation, PV
CC
and BV
CC
(V
BOOST
– V
SW
) must
be greater than V
GS(ON)
of the external MOSFETs.
Note 5:
Supply current in normal operation is dominated by the current
needed to charge and discharge the external MOSFET gates. This current
will vary with supply voltage and the external MOSFETs used.
Note 6:
Supply current in shutdown is dominated by external MOSFET
leakage and may be significantly higher than the quiescent current drawn
by the LTC3802, especially at elevated temperature.
Note 7:
Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 8:
Rise and fall times are measured using 10% and 90% levels. Delay
and nonoverlap times are measured using 50% levels.
Note 9:
If V
CMPIN
is less than 90% of its nominal value, BG minimum
pulse width is limited to 400ns.
Note 10:
The LTC3802 leading edge modulation architecture does not
have a minimum TG pulse width requirement. The TG minimum pulse
width is limited by the rise and fall times.
