output synchronous boost converter controller that drives
two N-channel power MOSFET stages out-of-phase.
Multiphase operation reduces input and output capacitor
requirements and allows the use of smaller inductors than
the single-phase equivalent. Synchronous rectification in-
creases efficiency, reduces power losses and eases thermal
requirements, simplifying high power boost applications.
A 4.5V to 60V input supply range encompasses a wide
range of system architectures and battery chemistries.
When biased from the output of the boost converter or
another auxiliary supply, the LTC3784 can operate from an
input supply as low as 2.3V after start-up. The operating
frequency can be set within a 50kHz to 900kHz range or
synchronized to an external clock using the internal PLL.
PolyPhase operation allows the LTC3784 to be configured
for 2-, 3-, 4-, 6- and 12-phase operation.
The SS pin ramps the output voltage during start-up. The
PLLIN/MODE pin selects Burst Mode
®
operation, pulse-
skipping mode or forced continuous mode at light loads.
