LTC3376
20V, 4-Channel Buck DC/DC with
8x Configurable 1.5A Power Stages
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®3376 is a highly flexible multioutput power
supply IC. The device includes four synchronous buck

converters, configured to share eight 1.5A power stages,
powered from independent 3V to 20V inputs. The DC/DCs
are assigned to one of fifteen power configurations via pin
strappable CFG0 to CFG3 pins. The LTC3376 includes the
integration of ceramic capacitors into the package for the
BST pins thereby saving PCB space. The common buck
switching frequency may be programmed with an external
resistor, synchronized to an external oscillator, or set to a
default internal 2MHz clock.

Operation/Forced Continuous)
The operating mode for all DC/DCs may be programmed
via the SYNC/MODE pin for Burst Mode or forced continu-
ous mode operation. The PGOOD1 to PGOOD4 outputs
indicate when each enabled DC/DC is within a specified
percentage of its final output.
