The LTC3870EUFD#PBF is a PolyPhase® step-down slave controller specially designed for multiphase operation with the LTC3880 family digital power system management DC/DC controllers. It provides a small and cost effective solution for supplying very large currents by cascading it with a master controller. A peak current mode architecture provides the LTC3870EUFD#PBF with excellent current sharing from phase to phase and from chip to chip.
Coherently working with the LTC3880 family, the LTC3870EUFD#PBF does not require additional I2C addresses, and it supports all programmable features as well as fault protection. The constant switching frequency can be synchronized to an external clock from the master controller from 100kHz to 1MHz.
