The LTC3859AL is a high performance triple output (buck/buck/boost) synchronous DC/DC switching regulator controller that drives all N-channel power MOSFET stages. Constant frequency current mode architecture allows a phase-lockable switching frequency of up to 850kHz. The LTC3859AL operates from a wide 4.5V to 38V input supply range. When biased from the output of the boost converter or another auxiliary supply, the LTC3859AL can operate from an input supply as low as 2.5V after start-up.

The 28μA no-load quiescent current extends operating runtime in battery powered systems. OPTI-LOOP compensation allows the transient response to be optimized over a wide range of output capacitance and ESR values. The LTC3859AL features a precision 0.8V reference for the bucks, 1.2V reference for the boost and a power good output indicator. The PLLIN/MODE pin selects among Burst Mode operation, pulse-skipping mode, or continuous inductor current mode at light loads.

Compared to the LTC3859 and the LTC3859A, the LTC3859AL is fully pin-compatible, but with lower Burst Mode operation I_Q (28µA with one channel on).

Product Details

Demonstration circuit 2122A is a triple output synchronous step-up/dual step-down supply featuring the LTC3859AL. This demonstration circuit is designed for two buck 5V/5A, 8.5V/3A outputs supplied by a boosted 10V/7A output. Benefiting from this feature, the buck outputs are able to maintain regulation over a wide input voltage range of 4.5V to 36V which is suitable for automotive or other battery fed applications. Also, the demonstration circuit uses a drop-in layout that the main buck circuit components fit in an area of ¾" by 1½", while the main boost circuit area is ¾" by 1¾". The package style for the LTC3859AL is a 38-pin exposed pad QFN package.
