DESCRIPTION
The LTC®1553L is a high power, high efficiency switching
regulator controller optimized for a 5V input to 1.8V-3.5V
output applications. It features a digitally programmable
output voltage, a precision internal reference and an internal
feedback system that provides output accuracy of ±1.5% at
room temperature and typically ±2% over-temperature, load
current and line voltage shifts. The LTC1553L uses a syn-
chronous switching architecture with two external N-channel
output devices, providing high efficiency and eliminating the
need for a high power, high cost P-channel device. Addition-
ally, it senses the output current across the on-resistance of
the upper N-channel FET, providing an adjustable current
limit without an external low value sense resistor.
The LTC1553L free-runs at 300kHz and can be synchronized
to a faster external clock if desired. It includes all the inputs
and outputs required to implement a power supply conform-
ing to the Intel Pentium® II Processor VRM 8.2 DC/DC
Converter Specification.
