Analog Devices Inc. LTC7805 Synchronous Step-Down Controller is a high-performance dual step-down synchronous DC/DC switching regulator controller that drives all N-channel power MOSFET stages. Constant frequency current mode architecture allows a phase-lockable switching frequency of up to 3MHz. The LTC7805 operates from a wide 4.5V to 40V input supply range. Power loss and supply noise are minimized by operating the two controller output stages out-of-phase.
The very low no-load quiescent current extends operating runtime in battery-powered systems. OPTI-LOOP compensation allows the transient response to be optimized over a wide range of output capacitance and ESR values. The LTC7805 features a precision 0.8V reference and power good output indicators. The MODE pin selects Burst Mode operation, pulse-skipping mode, or continuous inductor current mode at light loads.
The Analog Devices Inc. LTC7805 additionally features spread-spectrum operation, which significantly reduces the peak radiated and conducted noise on both the input and output supplies, making it easier to comply with electromagnetic interference (EMI) standards.
