DESCRIPTIO U
The LTC®1267 series are dual synchronous step-down switching regulator controllers featuring automatic Burst ModeTM operation to maintain high efficiencies at low output currents. The LTC1267 is composed of two separate regulator blocks, each driving a pair of external complementary power MOSFETs at switching frequencies up to 400kHz. The LTC1267 uses a constant off-time current mode architecture to provide constant ripple current in the inductor and provide excellent line and load transient response.
A separate pin and on-board switch allow the MOSFET driver power to be derived from the regulated output voltage,providingsignificantefficiencyimprovementwhen operating at high input voltage. The output current level is user-programmable via an external current sense resistor.
The LTC1267 series is ideal for applications requiring dual output voltages with high conversion efficiencies over a wide load current range in a small amount of board space.
