High Efficiency 6-Phase Step-Down Converter
DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 2631A features the
high output current, high efficiency step down converters
each with its own assembly type. The converter for the -A
assembly provides two 3-phase outputs of 1.0V/100A and
1.5V/100A. The -B assembly provides a single 6-phase
1.0V/200A output. Block diagrams are shown in Figure 3.
Both converters operate over a 7V to 14V input voltage
range at a switching frequency of 400kHz.
The power stage for each phase consists of a 5mm ×
5mm DrMOS and 11.3mm × 11.0mm 0.25µH ferrite
inductor with a DCR of 0.32mΩ typical. The LTC7852
employs a peak current mode architecture which allows
accurate DCR sensing and sharing with sub-mOhm DCR
inductors. The LTC7852 provides a three-state compatible
PWM output for each DrMOS.
Additional features of the DC2631A include:
