down switching regulator controller for high current
distributed power systems, digital signal processors, and
other telecom and industrial DC/DC power supplies. It uses
a constant-frequency voltage mode architecture combined
with very low offset, high bandwidth error amplifiers and a
remote output sense differential amplifier per channel for
excellent transient response and output regulation.
The controller incorporates lossless inductor DCR current
sensing to maintain current balance between phases and to
provide overcurrent protection. The chip operates from a
V
CC
supply between 3V and 5.5V and is designed for step-
down conversion from V
IN
between 3V and 24V to output
voltages between 0.6V and V
CC
– 0.5V.
The TRACK/SS pins provide programmable soft-start or
tracking functions. Inductor current reversal is disabled
during soft-start to safely power prebiased loads. The
constant operating frequency can be synchronized to an
external clock or linearly programmed from 250kHz to
2.25MHz. Up to six LTC3861 controllers can operate in
parallel for 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 6- or 12-phase operation.
The LTC3861 is available in a 36-pin 5mm
×
6mm QFN pack-
age. LTC3861-1 is a 32-pin QFN version of the LTC3861,
which has a single differential remote output voltage sense
amplifier.

The LTC3861E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C
to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The
LTC3861I is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range. The maximum ambient temperature consistent with
these specifications is determined by specific operating conditions in
conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal resistors and
