LTC3850-2
Dual, 2-Phase
Synchronous Step-Down
Switching Controller
DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
3850-2 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
frequency 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 LTC3850-2 features a precision 0.8V
reference and a power good output indicator. A wide 4V
to 30V 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 LTC3850-2 is identical to the LTC3850-1, except they
have different pin assignments.

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 LTC3850I-2 is 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:
LTC3850IGN-2: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 95°C/W)
Note 4:
The LTC3850I-2 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).
