using a current mode, constant-frequency architecture. It
provides a complete DDR solution with an input voltage
range from 2.25V to 5.5V.
The output of the first step-down regulator offers a high
accuracy V
DDQ
supply. A buffered reference generates
VTTR at 50% of VDDQIN and drives loads up to ±10mA.
The second regulator generates the DDR termination volt-
age (V
TT
) equal to VTTR. Both regulators are capable of
delivering ±3A of load current at 1MHz switching frequency.
The operating frequency is externally programmable up to
4MHz, allowing the use of small surface mount inductors.
0°, 90°, or 180° of phase shift between the two channels
can be selected to minimize input current ripple. For
switching noise-sensitive applications, the LTC3618 can
be synchronized to an external clock up to 4MHz.
The LTC3618 is offered in leadless 24-pin 4mm × 4mm
QFN and thermally enhanced 24-pin TSSOP packages.

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 LTC3618 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈
T
A
. The LTC3618E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
over the 0°C to 85°C operating junction temperature range. Specifications
over the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range are
assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process
controls. The LTC3618I is guaranteed to meet specifications over the
full –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range. Note that the
maximum ambient temperature consistent with these specifications is
determined by specific operating conditions in conjunction with board
layout, the rated package thermal resistance and other environmental
factors. The junction temperature (T
J
, in °C) is calculated from the ambient
temperature (T
A
, in °C) and power dissipation (P
D
, in watts) according to
the formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
•
θ
JA
)
where
θ
JA
(in °C/W) is the package thermal impedance.
Note 3:
This parameter is tested in a feedback loop which servos V

the midpoint for the error amplifier (V

Note 4:
External compensation on ITH pin.
Note 5:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge
being delivered at the switching frequency.
Note 6:
See description of the TRACK/SS pin in the Pin Functions section.
Note 7:
When sourcing current, the average output current is defined
as flowing out of the SW pin. When sinking current, the average output
current is defined as flowing into the SW pin. Sinking mode requires the
use of forced continuous mode.
Note 8:
See description of the MODE pin in the Pin Functions section.
Note 9:
Guaranteed by design and correlation to wafer level measurements
for QFN packages.
Note 10:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability or permanently damage the
