Monolithic Dual Tracking 2A Step-Down Switching Regulator DESCRIPTION The LT®3510 is a dual current mode PWM step-down DC/DC converter with two internal 2.5A switches. Independent input voltage, feedback, soft-start and power good pins for each channel simplify plex power supply tracking/sequencing requirements. Both converters are synchronized to either a mon external clock input or a resistor programmable fixed 250k Hz to 1.5MHz internal oscillator. At all frequencies, a 180° phase relationship between channels is maintained, reducing voltage ripple and ponent size. Programmable frequency allows for optimization between efficiency and external ponent size. Minimum input-to-output voltage ratios are improved by allowing the switch to stay on through multiple clock cycles, only switching off when the boost capacitor needs recharging, resulting in ~95% maximum duty cycle. Each output can be independently disabled using its own soft-start pin, or by using the SHDN pin the entire part can be placed in a low quiescent current shutdown mode. The LT3510 is available in a 20-lead...
