Description

AI
The LTC3891 is a high performance step-down switching regulator DC/DC controller that drives an all N-channel synchronous power MOSFET stage. A constant frequency current mode architecture allows a phase-lockable frequency of up to 750kHz.The 50μA 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 LTC3891 features a precision 0.8V reference and power good output indicator. A wide 4V to 60V input supply range encompasses a wide range of intermediate bus voltages and battery chemistries. The output voltage of the LTC3891 can be programmed between 0.8V to 24V.The TRACK/SS pin ramps the output voltages during start-up. Current foldback limits MOSFET heat dissipation during short-circuit conditions. The PLLIN/MODE pin selects among Burst Mode operation, pulse-skipping mode, or continuous conduction mode at light loads.ApplicationsAutomotive Always-On SystemsBattery Powered Digital DevicesDistributed DC Power Systems
