In summary, the LTC7130 is Linear Technology’s highest current “pseudo monolithic” synchronous buck regulator at 20A output current. It resembles a µModule with its compact BGA package with the exception that it has an external inductor. The LTC7130 employs a unique current mode architecture which enhances the signal-to-noise ratio of the current sense signal and allows the use of a low DC resistance power inductor to maximize efficiency in high current applications, up to 95%. This feature also reduces the switching jitter commonly found in low DCR applications. The LTC7130 also includes a high speed differential remote sense amplifier and a programmable current sense limit.
