Two-phase synchronous step-down DC/DC controller drives dual N-channel MOSFET power stages for a single-output PolyPhase regulator. The controller operates from a 4.5 V to 38 V input range and uses a 0.6 V reference with ±0.75% accuracy. A phase-lockable current-mode architecture supports 250 kHz to 770 kHz switching, RSENSE or inductor DCR current sensing, and programmable DCR temperature compensation. Remote output sensing is provided by an integrated differential amplifier, and operation modes include Burst Mode, continuous operation, and Stage Shedding.
