LTC3718
Low Input Voltage
DC/DC Controller for
DDR/QDR Memory Termination
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC
®
3718 is a high current, high efficiency synchro-
nous switching regulator controller for DDR and QDR
TM
memory termination. It operates from an input as low as
1.5V and provides a regulated output voltage equal to
(0.5)V
IN
. The controller uses a valley current control
architecture to enable high frequency operation with very
low on-times without requiring a sense resistor. Operating
frequency is selected by an external resistor and is com-
pensated for variations in V
IN
and V
OUT
. The LTC3718 uses
a pair of standard 5V logic level N-channel external
MOSFETs, eliminating the need for expensive P-channel
or low threshold devices.
Forced continuous operation reduces noise and RF inter-
ference. Fault protection is provided by internal foldback
current limiting, an output overvoltage comparator and an
optional short-circuit timer. Soft-start capability for sup-
ply sequencing can be accomplished using an external
timing capacitor. OPTI-LOOP
®
compensation allows the
transient response to be optimized over a wide range of
loads and output capacitors.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
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
as follows:
LTC3718EG: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 130°C/W)
Note 3:
The LTC3718 is tested in a feedback loop that adjusts V
FB1
to
achieve a specified error amplifier output voltage (I
TH
).
Note 4:
The LTC3718 is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
Note 5:
Current limit guaranteed by design and/or correlation to static test.
