The LTC®1438/LTC1439 are dual, synchronous stepdown switching regulator controllers which drive external N-channel power MOSFETs in a phase-lockable fixed frequency architecture. The Adaptive PowerTM output stage selectively drives two N-channel MOSFETs at frequencies up to 400kHz while reducing switching losses to maintain high efficiencies at low output currents.
An auxiliary 0.5A linear regulator using an external PNP pass device provides a low noise, low dropout voltage source. A secondary winding feedback control pin (SFB1) guarantees regulation regardless of load on the main output by forcing continuous operation.
An additional comparator is available for use as a low battery detector. A power-on reset timer (POR) is included which generates a signal delayed by 65536/fCLK (typ 300ms) after the output is within 5% of the regulated output voltage. Internal resistive dividers provide pin selectable output voltages with remote sense capability on one of the two outputs.
The operating current levels are user-programmable via external current sense resistors. Wide input supply range allows operation from 3.5V to 30V (36V maximum).
