DESCRIPTION
LTC7050/LTC3884-1
2-Phase, Dual-Output Synchronous Buck
Converter with Power System Management
Demonstration circuit 2881A-A is a 2-phase dual-output,
high efficiency, high density, synchronous buck converter
with 7V to 14V input range. Each output can supply up
to 30A maximum load current with 1V output. The demo
dual smart power stage to provide a 2-phase
buck converter solution. The LTC3884-1 is a dual output
poly phase step-down controller with digital power sys-
tem management. The LTC7050 is a dual monolithic smart
power stage which integrates high speed drivers with low
resistance half-bridge power switches plus comprehensive
monitoring and protection circuitry in an electrically and
thermally optimized package. Please refer to the LTC3884-1
and LTC7050 data sheet for more detailed information.
