DESCRIPTION
The LTC®1702A is a dual switching regulator controlleroptimized for high efficiency with low input voltages. It includes two complete, on-chip, independent switching regulator controllers each designed to drive a pair of external N channel MOSFETs in a voltage mode feedback, synchronous
buck configuration. The LTC1702A uses a constant-frequency, true PWM design switching at 550kHz, minimizing external component size and cost and maximizing load transient performance. The synchronous buck architecture automatically shifts to discontinuous and then to BurstMode® operation as the output load decreases, ensuring maximum efficiency over a wide range of load currents.
