The LTC
®
1929/LTC1929-PG are 2-phase, single output,
synchronous step-down current mode switching regula-
tor controllers that drive N-channel external power MOSFET
stages in a phase-lockable fixed frequency architecture.
The 2-phase controllers drive their two output stages out
of phase at frequencies up to 300kHz to minimize the RMS
ripple currents in both input and output capacitors. The
2-phase technique effectively multiplies the fundamental
frequency by two, improving transient response while
operating each channel at an optimum frequency for
efficiency. Thermal design is also simplified.
An internal differential amplifier provides true remote
sensing of the regulated supply’s positive and negative
output terminals as required by high current applications.
The RUN/SS pin provides soft-start and a defeatable,
timed, latched short-circuit shutdown to shut down both
channels. Internal foldback current limit provides protec-
tion for the external synchronous MOSFETs in the event of
an output fault. OPTI-LOOP compensation allows the
transient response to be optimized over a wide range of
output capacitance and ESR values.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the
life of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation P
D
according to the following formulas:
LTC1929CG: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 95°C/W)
Note 3:
The LTC1929 is tested in a feedback loop that servos V
ITH
to a
specified voltage and measures the resultant V
EAIN
.
Note 4:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency. See Applications Information.
Note 5:
When the AMPMD pin is high (default for the LTC1929-PG), the
LTC1929 IC pins are connected directly to the internal op amp inputs.
When the AMPMD pin is low, internal MOSFET switches connect four
40k resistors around the op amp to create a standard unity-gain
differential amp.
Note 6:
Minimum on-time condition corresponds to the on inductor
peak-to-peak ripple current
≥
40% of I
MAX
(see minimum on-time
considerations in the Applications Information section).
