synchronous boost converter controller that drives all
N-channel power MOSFETs. Synchronous rectification
increases efficiency, reduces power losses and eases
thermal requirements, allowing the LTC3788-1 to be used
in high power boost applications.
A constant-frequency current mode architecture allows
a phase-lockable frequency of up to 850kHz. OPTI-LOOP
compensation allows the transient response to be optimized
over a wide range of output capacitance and ESR values.
The LTC3788-1 features a precision 1.2V reference and a
power good output indicator. A 4.5V to 38V input supply
range encompasses a wide range of system architectures
and battery chemistries.
Independent SS pins for each controller ramp the output
voltages during start-up. The PLLIN/MODE pin selects
among Burst Mode operation, pulse-skipping mode or
continuous inductor current mode at light loads.
For a leadless 32-pin QFN package with additional features
of adjustable current limit, clock out, phase modulation
and two PGOOD outputs, see the LTC3788 data sheet.
