The ZCC3605A is a high efficiency, monolithic synchro- nous buck regulator using a phase lockable controlled on-time constant frequency, current mode architecture. PolyPhase operation allows multiple ZCC3605A regula- torsto run out of phase while using minimal input and output capacitance. The operating supply voltage range is from 20V down to 4V, making it suitable for dual, triple or quadruple lithium-ion battery inputs as well as point of load power supply applicationsfrom a 12V or 5V rail. The operating frequency is programmable from 800kHz to 4MHzwithanexternalresistor.Thehighfrequency capa- bilityallowstheuseofsmallsurfacemountinductors.For switching noise sensitive applications, it can be externally synchronized from 800kHz to 4MHz. The PHMODE pin allows user control ofthe phase ofthe outgoing clock signal. The unique constant frequency/controlled on-time architectureisidealforhighstep-downratioapplications that are operating at high frequency while demanding fast transient response. Two internal phase-lock loops synchronize the internal oscillator to the externalclock and also servosthe regulator on-time to lockon toeither theinternalclockortheexternal clock ifit’spresent.
