LTC3569
operaTion Introduction
Each of the buck regulators supports 100% duty cycle The LTC3569 contains three constant-frequency, current operation (low dropout mode) when their input voltage mode buck DC/DC regulators. Both the P-channel and drops very close to their output voltage. The switching synchronous rectifier (N-channel) switches are internal regulators also include soft-start to limit inrush current to each buck. The operating frequency is determined by when powering on, and short-circuit current protection. the value of the RT resistor, or is fixed to 2.25MHz by pull-

ing the RT pin to SVIN, or is synchronized to an external oscillator tied to the MODE pin. Users may select pulse- During normal operation, the top power switch (P-chan- skipping or Burst Mode operation to trade off output ripple nel MOSFET) is turned on at the beginning of a clock for efficiency. Independent programmable reference levels cycle. The P-channel current ramps up as the inductor allow the LTC3569 to suit a variety of applications. charges. The peak inductor current is controlled by the internally compensated error amplifier output, I The LTC3569 offers different power levels, a single 1.2A TH. The current comparator (PCOMP) turns off the P-channel and buck as well as two 600mA bucks. These three bucks turns on the N-channel synchronous rectifier when the may be configured in different parallel configurations, inductor current reaches the I for versatile high current operation.

The energy stored in the buck 2 can be configured as a slave to buck 1, by pulling inductor continues to flow through the bottom switch FB2 to SVIN.
