LTC7851 DC/DC Controller

Analog Devices' LTC7851 quad output, multiphase step-down voltage mode DC/DC controller with accurate current sharing

Image of Analog Devices' LTC7851 DC/DC ControllerADI's LTC7851 and LTC7851-1 are quad output multiphase synchronous step-down switching regulator controllers that employ a constant frequency voltage mode architecture. They maintain excellent current balance between channels when paralleled with their internal current sharing loop. Lossless DCR or a low-value RSENSE is used for output current sensing. Multiple LTC7851/LTC7851-1 devices can be used for high phase count operation.

A very low offset, high bandwidth error amplifier, combined with remote output voltage sensing, provides excellent transient response, and output regulation. The LTC7851/ LTC7851-1 operates with a VCC supply voltage from 3 V to 5.5 V and is designed for step-down conversion with VIN from 3 V to 27 V and produces an output voltage from 0.6 V to VCC - 0.5 V.

The LTC7851-1 is identical to the LTC7851 except it has a lower current sense amplifier gain, making it ideal for DrMOS devices with internal current sense.
