LTC3708 Datasheet - Linear Technology

DESCRIPTION
The LTC®3708 is a dual, 2-phase synchronous step-down switching regulator with output voltage up/down tracking capability. The IC allows either coincident or ratiometric tracking. Multiple LTC3708s can be daisy-chained in applications requiring more than two voltages to be tracked. Power supply sequencing is accomplished using an external soft-start timing capacitor.
