LT7170-1/LT7170: 20A, 16V, Silent Switcher® Step-Down Regulators with Digital Power System Management

The LT7170/LT7170-1 are monolithic DC/DC synchronous stepdown regulators that deliver up to 20 A of continuous output current.

The LT7170-1 option has two switching phases that are connected to two inductors to drive a single-regulated output supply. The quick, clean, low-overshoot switching edges deliver high efficiency while minimizing electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions. The I²C-based PMBus 1.3-compliant serial interface enables control of device functions while providing telemetry information for system monitoring. The LT7170/LT7170-1 are supported by the LTpowerPlay® graphical user interface (GUI) tool.

The controlled on-time valley current-mode control with 25 ns typical minimum on-time enables a high switching frequency (fSW) at a low output voltage (V_OUT) with excellent transient response in a small overall solution size.

V_OUT, fSW, and phase are selectable using external configuration resistors. Settings can also be set via the PMBus interface or stored in the on-chip, three times programmable nonvolatile memory (NVM).

To guarantee clean start-up of the powered devices, the LT7170/ LT7170-1 actively pull down the output using V_SENSEP when the output is disabled. The LT7170/LT7170-1 wait until the V_OUT is less than 0.2 V before enabling the output and beginning a soft start. This V_OUT discharge threshold is programmable from 0.2 V to 2.2 V. The LT7170/LT7170-1 use forced-continuous switching operation.
