Product details

 

The LTC3811 is a dual, PolyPhase® synchronous step- down switching regulator controller optimized for output voltages up to 3.3V. The LTC3811 includes high bandwidth error amplifiers as well as a high speed differential remote sense amplifier. The sense voltage range is programmable from 24mV to 85mV, allowing the use of either the inductor DCR or a discrete sense resistor. Multiphase operation is made possible using the MODE/SYNC input, the CLKOUT output and the PHASEMODE control pin, allowing 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 6- or 12-phase operation.

 

Large internal gate drivers minimize switching losses and allow the use of multiple power MOSFETs connected in parallel for high current applications.

 

The operating frequency of the LTC3811 can be programmed from 250kHz to 750kHz and can also be synchronized to an external clock using the internal PLL.

 

Tracking and sequencing are possible with the LTC3811, and soft-start is programmed with an external capacitor. Shutdown reduces supply current to 20µA.
