Here are the LTC7130’s key performance advantages compared to competing solutions: it is a monolithic IC with differential amplifier capability – this compensates for IR drop due to PCB trace resistance, the package thermal resistance is specified on the datasheet (note that the actual thermal performance depends on PCB layout, inductor, etc.), high Vref accuracy allows for a tighter output voltage specification, constant frequency peak current mode architecture results in good short circuit protection and ease of compensation, DCR Current Sense or RSENSE and temp compensation is more accurate than RdsON sensing method, high current limit accuracy allows for easy selection of the inductor so there is no need to over-size the inductor saturation current. This also enables safer operation. Up to four ICs can be paralleled. Lastly, it is capable of synchronizable operation.
