LTC3890IGN-3#TRPBF

DC DC Switching Controllers Overview

The LTC3890IGN-3#TRPBF is a high-performance dual step-down switching regulator DC/DC controller from Analog Devices, designed to drive all N-channel synchronous power MOSFET stages. It operates with an input voltage range of 4V to 60V and supports two independent output channels. The device utilizes a constant frequency current mode architecture allowing for a programmable switching frequency up to 850kHz. Key electrical parameters include a typical no-load quiescent current of 50μA in sleep mode and a shutdown current of 14μA. It features a precision 0.8V reference and supports output voltages down to 0.8V. The controller minimizes input capacitor ESR noise by operating the two output stages out-of-phase.
