Key Featrues

Low Operating IQ (50µA): The LTC3857-1 features an ultra-low quiescent current of 50µA when one channel is active, significantly enhancing efficiency in battery-operated and always-on systems. This low power consumption extends battery life and reduces energy waste in power-sensitive applications.
Wide Input Voltage Range (4V to 38V): With an input voltage range of 4V to 38V, the controller is highly versatile, making it suitable for a variety of power sources, including automotive and industrial systems. This flexibility ensures stable operation across diverse voltage conditions.
Out-of-Phase Controllers: The dual controllers operate out of phase, reducing input capacitance requirements and minimizing power supply-induced noise. This feature improves system reliability and reduces the need for additional filtering components, lowering overall design complexity and cost.
Programmable Frequency (50kHz to 900kHz): The device allows for programmable switching frequencies between 50kHz and 900kHz, enabling designers to optimize efficiency and minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) for specific applications. This adaptability is particularly useful in noise-sensitive environments.
Selectable Light Load Modes: The LTC3857-1 offers selectable operation modes (continuous, pulse-skipping, or low ripple Burst Mode) for light loads, enhancing efficiency during low-power conditions. This feature is ideal for applications with varying load demands, such as portable electronics or IoT devices.

Applications

Automotive Always-On Systems: The LTC3857-1 is ideal for powering always-on systems in automotive applications, such as infotainment systems, telematics, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).
