基于LTC3615设计的双路3A同步稳压技术

Linear公司的LTC3615是双路3A同步降压稳压器,采用电流模式固定频率架构.输入电压2.25V-5.5V,输出电流2x3A,效率高达94%,输出电压低至0.6V,输出电压精度±1%,可调整开关频率高达4MHz,主要用作点负载电源,分布式电源,手提计算机电源,DDR存储器电源和手持设备.本文介绍了LTC3615主要特性, 方框图以及多种典型应用电路.

The LTC?3615 is a dual 3A synchronous step-down regula-tor using a current mode, constant-frequency architecture. The DC supply current is only 130μA (Burst Mode operaTIon at no-load) while maintaining the output voltages, drop-ping to zero current in shutdown. The 2.25V to 5.5V input supply range makes the LTC3615 ideally suited for single Li-Ion applicaTIons. 100% duty cycle capability provides low dropout operaTIon, which extends operaTIng time in battery-operated systems.

The operating frequency is externally programmable up to 4MHz, allowing the use of small surface mount inductors. 0°, 90°, or 180° of phase shift between the two channels can be selected to minimize input current ripple and output voltage ripple in a single 6A output configuration. Programmable slew rate limiting reduces EMI, and external synchronization can be applied up to 4MHz.

The internal synchronous switches increase efficiency and eliminate the need for external catch diodes, saving external components and board space.

The LTC3615 is offered in leadless 24-pin 4mm × 4mm QFN and thermally enhanced 24-pin TSSOP packages.
