A constant frequency current mode architecture allows phase-lockable frequency of up to 550k Hz. Power loss and noise due to the ESR of the input capacitors are minimized by operating the two controller output stages out of phase. The LTC3728L-1 is identical to the LTC3728L except that the LTC3728L-1 lacks the over current latchoff feature. OPTI-LOOP pensation allows the transient response to be optimized over a wide range of output capacitance and ESR values. The precision 0.8V reference and power good output indicator are patible with future microprocessor generations, and a wide 4.5V to 28V (30V maximum/ 35V for LTC3728LI-1) input supply range enpasses all battery chemistries. A RUN/SS pin for each controller provides soft-start. Current foldback limits MOSFET dissipation during shortcircuit conditions. The FCB mode pin can select among Burst Mode operation, constant frequency mode and continuous inductor...
