LTC7149 60V, 4A Synchronous Step-Down Regulator for Inverting Outputs FEATURES DESCRIPTION n Wide VIN Range: 3.4V to 60V The LTC®7149 is a high efficiency 60V, 4A synchronous n Wide VOUT Range: 0V to –28V monolithic step-down regulator for inverting output n Single Resistor VOUT Programming applications. The regulator features a single resistor- n Integrated 110mΩ Top N-Channel/50mΩ Bottom programmable output voltage and high efficiency over a N-Channel MOSFETs wide VOUT range. n Regulated IQ: 440µA, Shutdown IQ: 15µA The inverting regulator operates from an input voltage n Board GND Referenced I/O Pins (RUN, PGOOD, range of 3.4V to 60V and provides an adjustable output MODE/SYNC) from (–28V) to zero volts while delivering up to 4A of n Accurate Resistor Programmable inductor current. The switching frequency is also set Frequency (300kHz to 3MHz) with ±50% with an external resistor. A user-selectable mode input is Frequency Sync Range provided to allow the user to trade off ripple noise for ef- n 92% Efficiency with 12 VIN and –5VOUT ficiency at light loads; Burst Mode operation provides the n ±0.8% Output Voltage Accuracy highest efficiency at light loads, while forced continuous n Peak Current Mode Operation mode provides low output ripple. The MODE/SYNC pin n Burst Mode® Operation, Forced Continuous Mode can also be used to synchronize the switching frequency n Programmable Soft-Start to an external clock. Internal level-shift circuits allow the n Overtemperature Protection I/O pins (RUN, MODE/SYNC, PGOOD) to be referenced n Available in 28-Lead (4mm x 5mm) QFN and to board GND. TSSOP Packages The LTC7149 operates with a peak current mode architec- APPLICATIONS ture that allows for fast transient response with inherent cycle-to-cycle current limit protection. n Industrial Applications n Telecom Power Supplies All registered trademarks and trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
