The LTC
3717 is a synchronous step-down switching
regulator controller for double data rate (DDR) and Quad
Data Rate
TM
(QDR
TM
) memory termination. The controller
uses a valley current control architecture to deliver very
low duty cycles without requiring a sense resistor. Oper-
ating frequency is selected by an external resistor and is
compensated for variations in V
IN
.
Forced continuous operation reduces noise and RF inter-
ference. Output voltage is internally set to half of V
REF
,
which is user programmable.
Fault protection is provided by an output overvoltage
comparator and optional short-circuit shutdown timer.
Soft-start capability for supply sequencing is accom-
plished using an external timing capacitor. The regulator
current limit level is symmetrical and user programmable.
Wide supply range allows operation from 4V to 36V at the
V
CC
input.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life of
a device may be impaired.
Note 2: T

is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation P
D
as follows:
LTC3717EGN: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
130
C/W)
Note 3: The LTC3717 is tested in a feedback loop that adjusts V
FB
to achieve
a specified error amplifier output voltage (I
TH
).
Note 4: The LTC3717E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications from
0
C to 70
C. Specifications over the 40
C to 85
C operating temperature
range are assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical
process controls.
