The LTC
®
3727/LTC3727-1 are high performance dual
step-down switching regulator controllers that drive all
N-channel synchronous power MOSFET stages. A con-
stant frequency current mode architecture allows phase-
lockable frequency of up to 550kHz. Power loss and noise
due to the ESR of the input capacitors 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. There is a precision 0.8V reference and a power
good output indicator. A wide 4V to 30V (36V maximum)
input supply range encompasses all battery chemistries.
A RUN/SS pin for each controller provides soft-start, and
on the LTC3727GN, optional timed, short-circuit shut-
down. Current foldback limits MOSFET heat dissipation
during short-circuit conditions when overcurrent latchoff
is disabled. Output overvoltage protection circuitry latches
on the bottom MOSFET until V
OUT
returns to normal. The
FCB mode pin can select among Burst Mode, constant
frequency mode and continuous inductor current mode or
regulate a secondary winding.

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 LTC3727E/LTC3727E-1 are guaranteed to meet performance
specifications from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C
operating temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls. The LTC3727IG-1 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:
LTC3727EG/LTC3727EG-1/LTC3727IG-1: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 95
°C/W)
LTC3727EUH-1: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 34
°C/W)
Note 4:
The LTC3727/LTC3727-1 are tested in a feedback loop that servos
V
ITH1, 2
to a specified voltage and measures the resultant V
OSENSE1, 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).
