The LTC
®
3819 is a 2-phase, VID programmable, synchro-
nous step-down switching regulator controller that drives
two N-channel external power MOSFET stages in a fixed fre-
quency architecture. The 2-phase controller drives its two
output stages out of phase at frequencies up to 300kHz to
minimize the RMS ripple currents in both input and output
capacitors. The 2-phase technique effectively multiplies the
fundamental frequency by two, improving transient re-
sponse while operating each channel at an optimum fre-
quency for efficiency. Thermal design is also simplified.
An operating mode select pin (FCB) can be used to select
among three modes including Burst Mode
®
operation for
highest efficiency. An internal differential amplifier provides
true remote sensing of the regulated supply’s positive and
negative output terminals as required in high current ap-
plications.
The RUN/SS pin provides soft-start and optional timed,
short-circuit shutdown. Current foldback limits MOSFET
dissipation during short-circuit conditions when the
overcurrent latchoff is disabled. OPTI-LOOP compensation
allows the transient response to be optimized for a wide
range of output capacitors and ESR values.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the
life of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LTC3819EG 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 3:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation P
D
according to the following formula:
LTC3819EG: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 85°C/W)
Note 4:
The LTC3819 is tested in a feedback loop that servos V
ITH
to a
specified voltage and measures the resultant V
EAIN
.
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 corresponds to the on inductor
peak-to-peak ripple current
≥
40% I
MAX
(see Minimum On-Time
Considerations in the Applications Information section).
Note 8:
Each built-in pull-up resistor attached to the VID inputs also has a
series diode to allow input voltages higher than the VIDV
CC
supply without
damage or clamping (see the Applications Information section).
