The LTC3857 is a high performance dual step-down switching regulator controller that drives all N-channel synchronous power MOSFET stages. A constant frequency current mode architecture allows a phase-lockable frequency of up to 850kHz. Power loss and noise due to the ESR of the input capacitor ESR are minimized by operating the two controller output stages out of phase.

The 50μA no-load quiescent current extends operating run time in battery-powered systems. The LTC3857 features a precision 0.8V reference and power good output indicators. A wide 4V to 38V input supply range encompasses a wide range of intermediate bus voltages and battery chemistries.

Independent TRACK/SS pins for each controller ramp the output voltages during start-up. Current foldback limits MOSFET heat dissipation during short-circuit conditions. The PLLIN/MODE pin selects among Burst Mode operation, pulse-skipping mode, or continuous inductor current mode at light loads.

For a leaded 28-lead SSOP package with a fixed current limit and one PGOOD output, without phase modulation or a clock output, see the LTC3857-1 data sheet.

Product Details

Demonstration circuit 1381A is a Low Quiescent Current, Dual Output Synchronous Buck Converter featuring the LTC3857EUH/LTC3858EUH. The DC1381A provides 3.3V/5A and 8.5V/3A from a wide input voltage range of 4.5V to 36V, making it suitable for automotive or other battery fed application where low quiescent current is important.

Two versions of the board are available. DC-1381A-A is for the LTC3857EUH, while the DC1381A-B is for the LTC3858EUH. The LTC3857EUH offers lower quiescent current and smaller burst mode ripple, while the LTC3858EUH offers latch-off protection and increased burst mode efficiency.
