command. The resulting measured powerstage current

is returned by the READ_IIN command.

The MFR_READ_IIN_CHAN command returns the

calculated powerstage current based on the READ_IOUT

value multiplied by the READ_DUTY_CYCLE value.

The LTC3883 uses an internal 1Ω sense resistor to

command. Refer to the subsection titled Input Current

Sense Amplifier in the Applications Information section

for further detail.

LOAD SHARING

Multiple LTC3883’s can be arrayed in order to provide a

balanced load-share solution by bussing the necessary

pins. Figure 3 illustrates the shared connections required

for load sharing.

The frequency must only be programmed on one of the

LTC3883s. The other(s) must be programmed to External

Clock.

EXTERNAL/INTERNAL TEMPERATURE SENSE

Externaltemperaturecanbebestmeasuredusingaremote

diode-connected PNP transistor such as the MMBT3906.

The emitter should be connected to the TSNS pin while the

base and collector terminals of the PNP transistor should

be returned to the LTC3883’s GND pin, preferably using a

starconnection.Itispossibletoconnectthecollectorofthe

FETs. The base of the PNP must still be tied to ground. For

best noise immunity, the connections should be routed
