24-Lead 4mm × 4mm × 0.75mm Package The LT®3742 is a dual step-down DC/DC switching regulator
controller that drives high side N-channel power MOSFETs.
A 500kHz fixed frequency current mode architecture provides fast transient response with simple loop compensation components and cycle-by-cycle current limiting. The
output stages of the two controllers operate 180° out of
phase to reduce the input ripple current, minimizing the
noise induced on the input supply, and allowing less input
capacitance.
An internal boost regulator generates a bias rail of VIN + 7V
to provide gate drive for the N-channel MOSFETs allowing
low dropout and 100% duty cycle operation. The LT3742 …
