FEATURES LTC3633A/LTC3633A-1
Dual Channel 3A, 20V
Monolithic Synchronous
Step-Down Regulator
DESCRIPTION n n n n n n n The LTC®3633A is a high efficiency, dual-channel monolithic
synchronous buck regulator using a controlled on-time,
current mode architecture, with phase lockable switching
frequency. The two channels can run 180° out of phase to
relax the requirements for input and output capacitance. The
operating supply voltage range is from 3.6V to 20V, making
it suitable for lithium-ion battery stacks as well as point of
load power supply applications from a 12V or 5V supply. n n n n n n n n 3.6V to 20V Input Voltage Range
