LTC3850/LTC3850-1
Dual, 2-Phase
Synchronous Step-Down
Switching Controller
DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
3850 is a high performance dual synchronous
step-down switching regulator controller that drives all
N-channel power MOSFET stages. A constant-frequency
current mode architecture allows a phase-lockable fre-
quency of up to 780kHz. Power loss and supply noise are
minimized by operating the two controller output stages
out of phase.
OPTI-LOOP
®
compensation allows the transient response
to be optimized over a wide range of output capacitance
and ESR values. The LTC3850 features a precision 0.8V
reference and a power good output indicator. A wide 4V to
24V (28V maximum/30V for LTC3850I) input supply range
encompasses most battery chemistries and intermediate
bus voltages.
Independent TK/SS pins for each controller ramp the
output voltages during start-up. Current foldback limits
MOSFET heat dissipation during short-circuit condi-
tions. The MODE/PLLIN pin selects among Burst Mode
®
operation, pulse-skipping mode, or continuous inductor
current mode and allows the IC to be synchronized to an
external clock.
The LTC3850 is available in low profile 28-pin 4mm

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LTC3850E/LTC3850E-1 are guaranteed to meet performance
specifications from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C
operating temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls. The LTC3850I/LTC3850I-1 are
guaranteed to meet performance specifications over the –40°C to 85°C
operating temperature range.
Note 3:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation P
D
according to the following formulas:
LTC3850GN: T
J
= T
A
+ (P

Note 4:
The LTC3850 is tested in a feedback loop that servos V
ITH1,2
to a
specified voltage and measures the resultant V
FB1,2
.
Note 5:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency. See Applications Information.
Note 6:
Rise and fall times are measured using 10% and 90% levels. Delay
times are measured using 50% levels.
Note 7:
The minimum on-time condition is specified for an inductor
peak-to-peak ripple current ≥40% of I
MAX
(see Minimum On-Time
Considerations in the Applications Information section).
Note 8:
V
