    LTC1703 - Dual 550kHz Synchronous 2-Phase Switching Regulator Controller with 5-Bit VID
    The LTC1703 is a dual switching regulator controller optimized for high efficiency with low input voltages. It includes two complete, on-chip, independent switching regulator controllers. Each is designed to drive a pair of external N-channel MOSFET devices in a voltage mode feedback, synchronous buck configuration. The LTC1703 includes digital output voltage adjustment on side 1 that conforms to the Intel Mobile VID specification. It uses a constant-frequency, true PWM design switching at 550kHz, minimizing external component size and cost and optimizing load transient performance. The synchronous buck architecture automatically shifts to discontinuous and then to BurstMode™ operation as the output load decreases, ensuring maximum efficiency over a wide range of load currents.The LTC1703 features an onboard reference trimmed to 1% and delivers better than 1.5% regulation at the converter outputs. An optional latching FAULT mode protects the load if the output rises 15% above the intended voltage. Each channel can be enabled independently; with both channels disabled, the LTC1703 shuts down and supply current drops below 100µA.
