DESCRIPTION
The LTC®3728L-1 is a dual high performance step-down switching regulator controller that drives all N-channel synchronous power MOSFET stages. A constant frequency current mode architecture allows phase-lockable frequency of up to 550kHz. Power loss and noise due to the ESR of the input capacitors are minimized by operating the two controller output stages out of phase. The LTC3728L-1 is identical to the LTC3728L except that the LTC3728L-1 lacks the over current latchoff feature.
