11 / 28 page  LTC3633A/LTC3633A-1 11 3633a1f OPERATION The LTC3633A is a dual-channel, current mode monolithic step down regulator capable of providing 3A of output current from each channel. Its unique controlled on-time architecture allows extremely low step-down ratios while maintaining a constant switching frequency. Each channel is enabled by raising the voltage on the RUN pin above 1.22V nominally. The LTC3633A has a VON sense range of 0.6V to 6V, while the LTC3633A-1 has a VON sense range of 1.5V to 12V. The following table highlights the difference between the parts in the LTC3633A family. Consult the LTC3633A-2/ LTC3633A-3 data sheet for more details on specific char- acteristics of those products. Table 1.

When the top power MOSFET turns off, the bottom power MOSFET turns on until the current comparator ICMP trips, thus restarting the one shot timer and initiating the next cycle. Inductor current is measured by sensing the voltage drop across the SW and PGND nodes of the bottom power MOSFET. The voltage on the ITH pin sets the comparator threshold corresponding to inductor valley current. The error ampli- fier EA adjusts this ITH voltage by comparing an internal 0.6V reference to the feedback signal VFB derived from the output voltage. If the load current increases, it causes a drop in the feedback voltage relative to the internal refer- ence. The ITH voltage then rises until the average inductor current matches that of the load current. The operating frequency is determined by the value of the RT resistor, which programs the current for the internal oscillator. An internal phase-locked loop servos the switch- ing regulator on-time to track the internal oscillator edge and force a constant switching frequency. A clock signal can be applied to the MODE/SYNC pin to synchronize the switching frequency to an external source. The regulator defaults to forced continuous operation once the clock signal is applied. At light load currents, the inductor current can drop to zero and become negative. In Burst Mode operation, a current reversal comparator (IREV) detects the negative inductor current and shuts off the bottom power MOSFET, result- ing in discontinuous operation and increased efficiency. Both power MOSFETs will remain off until the ITH voltage rises above the zero current level to initiate another cycle. During this time, the output capacitor supplies the load current and the part is placed into a low current sleep mode. Discontinuous mode operation is disabled by tying the MODE/SYNC pin to ground, which forces continuous synchronous operation regardless of output load current. “Power Good” Status Output The PGOOD open-drain output will be pulled low if the regulator output exits a ±8% window around the regulation point. This condition is released once regulation within a ±5% window is achieved. To prevent unwanted PGOOD glitches during transients or dynamic VOUT changes, the LTC3633A PGOOD falling edge includes a filter time of approximately 40μs. VIN Overvoltage Protection In order to protect the internal power MOSFET devices against transient voltage spikes, the LTC3633A constantly monitors each VIN pin for an overvoltage condition. When VIN rises above 22.5V, the regulator suspends operation by shutting off both power MOSFETs on the corresponding channel. Once VIN drops below 21.5V, the regulator imme- diately resumes normal operation. The regulator executes its soft-start function when exiting an overvoltage condition. Out-Of-Phase Operation Tying the PHMODE pin high sets the SW2 falling edge to be 180° out of phase with the SW1 falling edge. There is a significant advantage to running both channels out of phase. Whenrunningthechannelsinphase,bothtop-sideMOSFETs are on simultaneously, causing large current pulses to be drawn from the input capacitor and supply at the same time. |
