The LTC
®
1702 is a dual switching regulator controller opti-
mized for high efficiency with low input voltages. It includes
two complete, on-chip, independent switching regulator
controllers each designed to drive a pair of external N-channel
MOSFET devices in a voltage mode feedback, synchronous
buck configuration. The LTC1702 uses a constant-frequency,
true PWM design switching at 550kHz, minimizing external
component size and cost and maximizing load transient
performance. The synchronous buck architecture automati-
cally shifts to discontinuous and then to Burst Mode
TM
operation as the output load decreases, ensuring maximum
efficiency over a wide range of load currents.
The LTC1702 features an onboard reference trimmed to
0.5% and can provide better than 1% regulation at the
converter outputs. Open-drain logic outputs indicate whether
either output has risen to within 5% of the final output voltage
and an optional latching FAULT mode protects the load if the
output rises 15% above the intended voltage. Each channel
can be enabled independently; with both channels disabled,
the LTC1702 shuts down and supply current drops below
100µA.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
PV
CC
and BV
CC
(V
BOOST
– V
SW
) must be greater than V
GS(ON)
of
the external MOSFETs used to ensure proper operation.
Note 3:
All currents into device pins are positive; all currents out of device
pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to ground unless otherwise
specified.
Note 4:
Supply current in normal operation is dominated by the current
needed to charge and discharge the external MOSFET gates. This current
will vary with supply voltage and the external MOSFETs used.
Note 5:
Supply current in shutdown is dominated by external MOSFET
leakage and may be significantly higher than the quiescent current drawn
by the LTC1702, especially at elevated temperature.
Note 6:
This parameter is guaranteed by correlation and is not tested
directly.
Note 7:
Rise and fall times are measured using 10% and 90% levels. Delay
and nonoverlap times are measured using 50% levels.

PIN FUNCTIONS
PV
CC
(Pin 1):
Driver Power Supply Input. PV
CC
provides
power to the two BGn output drivers. PV
CC
must be
connected to a voltage high enough to fully turn on the
external MOSFETs QB1 and QB2. PV
CC
should generally
be connected directly to V
IN
. PV
CC
requires at least a 1µF
bypass capacitor directly to PGND.
BOOST1 (Pin 2):
Controller 1 Top Gate Driver Supply. The
BOOST1 pin supplies power to the floating TG1 driver.
BOOST1 should be bypassed to SW1 with a 1µF capacitor.
An additional Schottky diode from V
IN
to BOOST1 pin will
create a complete floating charge-pumped supply at
BOOST1. No other external supplies are required.
BG1 (Pin 3):
Controller 1 Bottom Gate Drive. The BG1 pin
drives the gate of the bottom N-channel synchronous
switch MOSFET, QB1. BG1 is designed to drive up to
10,000pF of gate capacitance directly. If RUN/SS1 goes
low, BG1 will go low, turning off QB1. If FAULT mode is
tripped, BG1 will go high and stay high, keeping QB1 on
until the power is cycled.
TG1 (Pin 4):
Controller 1 Top Gate Drive. The TG1 pin
drives the gate of the top N-channel MOSFET, QT1. The
TG1 driver draws power from the BOOST1 pin and returns
to the SW1 pin, providing true floating drive to QT1. TG1
is designed to drive up to 10,000pF of gate capacitance
directly. In shutdown or fault modes, TG1 will go low.
SW1 (Pin 5):
Controller 1 Switching Node. SW1 should be
connected to the switching node of converter 1. The TG1
driver ground returns to SW1, providing floating gate
drive to the top N-channel MOSFET switch, QT1. The
voltage at SW1 is compared to I
MAX1
by the current limit
comparator while the bottom MOSFET, QB1, is on.
I
MAX1
(Pin 6):
Controller 1 Current Limit Set. The I
MAX1
pin sets the current limit comparator threshold for
controller 1. If the voltage drop across the bottom MOSFET,
QB1, exceeds the magnitude of the voltage at I
MAX1
,
controller 1 will go into current limit. The I
MAX1
pin has an
internal 10µA current source pull-up, allowing the current
threshold to be set with a single external resistor to PGND.
See the Current Limit Programming section for more
information on choosing R
IMAX
.
PGOOD1 (Pin 7):
Controller 1 Power Good. PGOOD1 is an
open-drain logic output. PGOOD1 will pull low whenever
FB1 falls 5% below its programmed value. When RUN/SS1
is low (side 1 shut down), PGOOD1 will go high.
FCB (Pin 8):
Force Continuous Bar. The FCB pin forces
both converters to maintain continuous synchronous
operation regardless of load when the voltage at FCB
drops below 0.8V. FCB is normally tied to V
CC
. To force
continuous operation, tie FCB to SGND. FCB can also be
connected to a feedback resistor divider from a secondary
winding on one converter’s inductor to generate a third
regulated output voltage. Do not leave FCB floating.
RUN/SS1 (Pin 9):
Controller 1 Run/Soft-start. Pulling
RUN/SS1 to SGND will disable controller 1 and turn off
both of its external MOSFET switches. Pulling both
RUN/SS pins down will shut down the entire LTC1702,
dropping the quiescent supply current below 100µA. A
capacitor from RUN/SS1 to SGND will control the turn-on
time and rate of rise of the controller 1 output voltage at
power-up. An internal 3.5µA current source pull-up at
RUN/SS1 pin sets the turn-on time at approximately
500ms/µF.
COMP1 (Pin 10):
Controller 1 Loop Compensation. The
COMP1 pin is connected directly to the output of the first
controller’s error amplifier and the input to the PWM
comparator. An RC network is used at the COMP1 pin to
compensate the feedback loop for optimum transient
response.
SGND (Pin 11):
Signal Ground. All internal low power
circuitry returns to the SGND pin. Connect to a low
impedance ground, separated from the PGND node. All
feedback, compensation and soft-start connections should
return to SGND. SGND and PGND should connect only at
a single point, near the PGND pin and the negative plate of
the C
IN
bypass capacitor.
FB1 (Pin 12):
Controller 1 Feedback Input. FB1 should be
connected through a resistor network to V
OUT1
to set the
output voltage. The loop compensation network for con-
troller 1 also connects to FB1.
V
CC
(Pin 13):
Power Supply Input. All internal circuits
except the output drivers are powered from this pin. V
CC
should be connected to a low noise power supply voltage
between 3V and 7V and should be bypassed to SGND with
at least a 1µF capacitor in close proximity to the LTC1702.
