The LTC7806 is a high performance 2-phase single output synchronous boost converter controller that drives two N-channel power MOSFET stages out-of-phase. Its constant-frequency current mode architecture allows a phase-lockable switching frequency of up to 3MHz. High frequency 2-phase operation reduces input and output capacitor requirements and allows the use of smaller inductors compared to the single-phase equivalent. Synchronous rectification increases efficiency, reduces power losses, and eases thermal requirements, simplifying high power boost applications. The synchronous PassThru capability also minimizes losses in automotive start-stop applications.The LTC7806 operates from a wide 4.5V to 40V input supply range. When biased from the boost converter output, the LTC7806 can operate from an input supply as low as 1V after start-up. The very low no-load quiescent current extends operating run time in battery powered systems. OPTI-LOOP? compensation allows the transient response to be optimized over a wide range of output capacitance and ESR values. The LTC7806 features a precision 1.2V reference, a power good output indicator, and an inductor current monitor.APPLICATIONS Automotive and Transportation Audio and RF Power Amplifiers Industrial and Medical Communications
The LTC3376 is a highly flexible multioutput power supply IC. The device includes four synchronous buck converters, configured to share eight 1.5A power stages, powered from independent 3V to 20V inputs. The DC/DCs are assigned to one of fifteen power configurations via pin strappable CFG0 to CFG3 pins. The LTC3376 includes the integration of ceramic capacitors into the package for the BST pins thereby saving PCB space. The common buck switching frequency may be programmed with an external resistor, synchronized to an external oscillator, or set to a default internal 2MHz clock. The operating mode for all DC/DCs may be programmed via the SYNC/MODE pin for Burst Mode or forced continuous mode operation. The PGOOD1 to PGOOD4 outputs indicate when each enabled DC/DC is within a specified percentage of its final output. Current monitors allow for external monitoring of each buck?s load. The EXTVCC pin allows for the internal circuitry to run from a 3V to 5.5V rail for improved efficiency. Precision RUN pin thresholds facilitate power-up sequencing. The LTC3376 is available in a 64 lead 7mm ? 7mm BGA (0.8mm ball pitch).Applications? Telecom/Industrial? 12V Distributed Power Systems
The LTC4372/LTC4373 are positive high voltage ideal diode controllers that drive an external N-channel MOSFET to replace a Schottky diode. They control the forward voltage drop across the MOSFET to ensure current delivery or current transfer from one path to the other even at light loads.A 5?A operating current achieves high efficiency for intermittent load applications or always-on backup power supplies. If a power source fails or is shorted, a fast turn-off minimizes reverse current transients. The LTC4372/LTC4373 control back-to-back N-channel MOSFETs for inrush current control and load switching.The LTC4372?s SHDN pin keeps the MOSFET off and reduces the quiescent current to 3.5?A. The LTC4373 has a UV pin for undervoltage monitoring while the UVOUT?pin provides hysteresis adjustment and status information. During undervoltage, the back-to-back MOSFETs are cut off and quiescent current reduces to 0.5?A.APPLICATIONS Automotive Battery Protection Redundant Power Supplies Portable Instrumentation Solar Powered Systems Energy Harvesting Applications Supply Holdup
