DESCRIPTION
The LTC®1702 is a dual switching regulator controller optimized 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 MOSFET devices in a voltage mode feedback, synchronous buck configuration. The LTC1702 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 Burst Mode™ operation as the output load decreases, ensuring maximum efficiency over a wide range of load currents.
