The PWM loop nominally runs at synchronous switching regulator controllers (see Block 300kHz. Diagram) designed for use in high power, low voltage The LTC3832 includes a current limit sensing circuit that step-down (buck) converters. They include an onboard uses the topside external N-channel power MOSFET as a PWM generator, a precision reference trimmed to ±0.8%, current sensing element, eliminating the need for an two high power MOSFET gate drivers and all necessary external sense resistor. sn3832 3832fs 8
