LTC3868 Datasheet Dual 2-Phase Synchronous Step-Down Controller

Manufacturer: Linear Technology (now Analog Devices)

General Description

The LTC®3868 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 input capacitor ESR are minimized by operating the two controller outputs out of phase.
