Regulators for Improved Performance
For high current step-down applications, two out-of-phase IC controllers provide significant improvements* and
reduced component cost that offset the cost of the second controller IC. Major benefits include:
s
s
s
Two Output Inductors 1/8 the Size of a Single Inductor
(Total 1/4 the Magnetics)
Significantly Reduced Output Ripple
Significantly Reduced Input Capacitor Ripple Current
Allows the use of Fewer Input Capacitors
s
s
Greatly Improved Transient Response—Two Smaller
Inductors: Slew Currents Are Additive
Minimizes the Size of MOSFETs, May Save the Need to
Parallel MOSFETs
