LTC1538-AUX/LTC1539
Dual High Efficiency,
Low Noise, Synchronous
Step-Down Switching Regulators
DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
1538-AUX/LTC1539 are dual, synchronous step-
down switching regulator controllers which drive external
N-channel power MOSFETs in a phase-lockable fixed
frequency architecture. The Adaptive Power
TM
output stage
selectively drives two N-channel MOSFETs at frequencies
up to 400kHz while reducing switching losses to maintain
high efficiencies at low output currents.
An auxiliary 0.5A linear regulator using an external PNP
pass device provides a low noise, low dropout voltage
source. A secondary winding feedback control pin (SFB1)
guarantees regulation regardless of load on the main
output by forcing continuous operation.
A 5V/20mA regulator, internal 1.19V reference and an
uncommitted comparator remain active when both con-
trollers are shut down. A power-on reset timer (POR) is
included which generates a signal delayed by 65536/f
CLK
(typ 300ms) after the controller’s output is within 5% of
the regulated first voltage. Internal resistive dividers pro-
vide pin selectable output voltages with remote sense
capability on one of the two outputs.
The operating current levels are user-programmable via
external current sense resistors. Wide input supply range
allows operation from 3.5V to 30V (36V maximum).

Note 1:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation P
D
according to the following formulas:
LTC1538CG-AUX: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
)(95°C/W)
LTC1539CGW: T
J
= T
A
+ (P

)(85°C/W)
Note 2:
The LTC1538-AUX and LTC1539 are tested in a feedback loop
which servos V
OSENSE1,2
to the balance point for the error amplifier
(V
ITH1,2
= 1.19V).
Note 3:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency. See Applications Information.
Note 4:
Oscillator frequency is tested by measuring the C
OSC
charge and
discharge current (I
OSC
) and applying the formula:
f
OSC
(kHz) = 8.4(10

Note 5:
The auxiliary regulator is tested in a feedback loop which servos
V
AUXFB
to the balance point for the error amplifier. For applications with
V
AUXDR
> 9.5V, V
AUXFB
uses an internal resistive divider. See Applications
