Key Featrues

Wide VIN Range (4V to 60V): This feature allows the controller to operate efficiently across a broad range of input voltages, making it suitable for diverse applications such as automotive systems and battery-powered devices. Its ability to handle high input voltages ensures robust performance in environments with fluctuating power sources.
Low Operating IQ (50µA): With minimal quiescent current, the LTC3890-1 significantly enhances energy efficiency, particularly in always-on systems or devices requiring long battery life. This feature reduces power consumption during standby or light-load conditions, extending operational runtime.
Out-of-Phase Controllers: By operating the two controller output stages out-of-phase, this feature reduces input capacitance requirements and minimizes power supply-induced noise. This improves system reliability and performance, especially in noise-sensitive applications.
Programmable Fixed Frequency (50kHz to 900kHz): The ability to set the switching frequency allows designers to optimize the controller for specific efficiency, size, and performance requirements. This flexibility makes it adaptable to a wide range of use cases, from compact portable devices to high-power distributed systems.
Selectable Operation Modes (Continuous, Pulse-Skipping, Burst Mode®): This feature enables the controller to adapt to varying load conditions, improving efficiency at light loads and reducing ripple noise. It ensures optimal performance across different operating scenarios, enhancing both energy savings and system stability.
