OVERVIEW
The LTC3832/LTC3832-1 are voltage mode feedback,
synchronous switching regulator controllers (see Block
Diagram) designed for use in high power, low voltage
step-down (buck) converters. They include an onboard
PWM generator, a precision reference trimmed to ±0.8%,
two high power MOSFET gate drivers and all necessary
feedback and control circuitry to form a complete switch-
ing regulator circuit. The PWM loop nominally runs at
300kHz.
The LTC3832 includes a current limit sensing circuit that
uses the topside external N-channel power MOSFET as a
current sensing element, eliminating the need for an
external sense resistor.
