LTC3736-1 Datasheet, PDF (7/28 Pages) Linear Technology – Dual 2-Phase, No RSENSE Synchronous Controller with Spread Spectrum
LTC3736-1
PI FU CTIO S (UF/GN Package)
TG1/TG2 (Pins 17, 15/Pins 20, 18): Top (PMOS) Gate Drive
Output. These pins drive the gates of the external P-channel
MOSFETs. These pins have an output swing from PGND to
SENSE+.
SSDIS (Pin 18/Pin 21): Spread Spectrum Disable Input. Tie
this pin to VIN to disable spread spectrum operation. In this
mode, the LTC3736-1 operates at a constant frequency
determined by the voltage on the FREQ pin. Tie this pin to
GND to enable spread spectrum operation.
BG1/BG2 (Pins 19, 13/Pins 22, 16): Bottom (NMOS) Gate
Drive Output. These pins drive the gates of the external N-
channel MOSFETs. These pins have an output swing from
PGND to SENSE+.
SENSE1+/SENSE2+ (Pins 21, 11/Pins 24, 14): Positive
Input to Differential Current Comparator. Also powers the
gate drivers. Normally connected to the source of the ex-
ternal P-channel MOSFET.

FU CTIO AL DIAGRA (Common Circuitry)
SW1/SW2 (Pins 22, 10/Pins 1, 13): Switch Node Connec-
tion to Inductor. Also the negative input to differential peak
current comparator and an input to the reverse current
comparator. Normally connected to the drain of the exter-
nal P-channel MOSFETs, the drain of the external N-channel
MOSFET and the inductor.
IPRG1/IPRG2 (Pins 23, 2/Pins 2, 5): Three-State Pins to
Select Maximum Peak Sense Voltage Threshold. These pins
select the maximum allowed voltage drop between the
SENSE+ and SW pins (i.e., the maximum allowed drop
across the external P-channel MOSFET) for each channel.
Tie to VIN, GND or float to select 204mV, 85mV or 125mV
respectively.
VFB1/VFB2 (Pins 24, 7/Pins 3, 10): Feedback Pins. Receives
the remotely sensed feedback voltage for its controller from
an external resistor divider across the output.
Exposed Pad (Pin 25/NA): The exposed pad (UF Package)
must be soldered to the PCB ground.
