The LTC
®
3832/LTC3832-1 are high power, high effi-
ciency switching regulator controllers optimized for
3.3V-5V to 0.6V-3.xV step-down applications. A preci-
sion internal reference and feedback system provide
±1%
output regulation over temperature, load current
and line voltage variations. The LTC3832/LTC3832-1 use
a synchronous switching architecture with N-channel
MOSFETs. Additionally, the chip senses output current
through the drain-source resistance of the upper
N-channel MOSFET, providing an adjustable current limit
without a current sense resistor.
The LTC3832/LTC3832-1 operate with an input supply
voltage as low as 3V and with a maximum duty cycle of
>91% over temperature. They include a fixed frequency
PWM oscillator for low output ripple operation. The 300kHz
free-running clock frequency can be externally adjusted or
synchronized with an external signal from 100kHz to 500kHz.
In shutdown mode, the LTC3832 supply current drops to
<10µA. The LTC3832-1 is the SO-8 version without current
limit, frequency adjustment and shutdown functions.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
All currents into device pins are positive; all currents out of device
pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to ground unless otherwise
specified.
Note 3:
Supply current in normal operation is dominated by the current
needed to charge and discharge the external FET gates. This will vary with
the LTC3832 operating frequency, operating voltage and the external FETs
used.
Note 4:
The open-loop DC gain and transconductance from the SENSE
+
and SENSE
–
pins to COMP pin will be (A
V
)(0.6/2.5) and (g
m
)(0.6/2.5)
respectively.
Note 5:
Rise and fall times are measured using 10% and 90% levels. Duty
cycle and nonoverlap times are measured using 50% levels.
Note 6:
Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 7:
PV
CC1
must be higher than V
CC
by at least 2.5V for G1 to operate
at 95% maximum duty cycle and for the current limit protection circuit to
be active.
Note 8:
The current limiting amplifier can sink but cannot source current.
Under normal (not current limited) operation, the output current will be
zero.
Note 9:
The LTC3832E/LTC3832-1E are 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 10:
The minimum and maximum limits for I
MAX
over temperature
includes the intentional temperature coefficient of 3300ppm/°C. This
induced temperature coefficient counteracts the typical temperature
coefficient of the external power MOSFET on-resistance. This results in a
relatively flat current limit over temperature for the application.
