LT3581 3.3A Boost/Inverting DC/DC Converter with Fault Protection FEATURESDESCRIPTION n 3.3A, 42V Combined Power Switch The LT®3581 is a PWM DC/DC converter with built-in fault n Master/Slave (1.9A/1.4A) Switch Design protection features to aid in protecting against output n Output Short Circuit Protection shorts, input/output overvoltages, and overtemperature n Wide Input Range: 2.5V to 22V Operating, conditions. The part consists of a 42V master switch, and 40V Maximum Transient a 42V slave switch that can be tied together for a total n Switching Frequency Up to 2.5MHz current limit of 3.3A. n Easily Configurable as a Boost, SEPIC, Inverting or The LT3581 is ideal for many local power supply designs. It Flyback Converter can be easily configured in Boost, SEPIC, Inverting or Flyback n User Configurable Undervoltage Lockout configurations, and is capable of generating 12V at 830mA, n Low VCESAT Switch: 250mV at 2.75A (Typical) or –12V at 625mA from a 5V input. In addition, the LT3581’s n Can be Synchronized to External Clock slave switch allows the part to be configured in high voltage, n Can Be Synchronized to other Switching Regulators high power charge pump topologies that are very efficient n High Gain SHDN Pin Accepts Slowly Varying Input and require fewer components than traditional circuits. Signals n 14-Pin 4mm × 3mm DFN and 16-Lead MSE Packages The LT3581’s switching frequency range can be set bet ween 200kHz and 2.5MHz. The part may be clocked internally at a frequency set by the resistor from the RT pin to ground, or it may be synchronized to an external clock. A buffered APPLICATIONS version of the clock signal is driven out of the CLKOUT n Local Power Supply pin, and may be used to synchronize other compatible n Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) Bias Supplies switching regulator ICs to the LT3581. n TFT-LCD Bias Supplies The LT3581 also features innovative SHDN pin circuitry that n Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) Power allows for slowly varying input signals and an adjustable L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
