LT3845A High Voltage Synchronous Current Mode Step-Down Controller with Adjustable Operating Frequency FEATURESDESCRIPTION n High Voltage Operation: Up to 60V The LT®3845A is a high voltage, synchronous, current n Synchronizable Up to 600kHz mode controller used for medium to high power, high n Adjustable Constant Frequency: 100kHz to 500kHz efficiency supplies. It offers a wide 4V to 60V input range n Output Voltages Up to 36V (7.5V minimum start-up voltage). An onboard regulator n Stable Operation in Current Limit simplifies the biasing requirements by providing IC power n Adaptive Nonoverlap Circuitry Prevents Switch directly from VIN. Shoot-Through Burst Mode® operation maintains high efficiency at light n Reverse Inductor Current Inhibit for Discontinuous loads by reducing IC quiescent current to 120µA. Light load Operation Improves Efficiency with Light Loads efficiency is also improved with the reverse inductor current n Programmable Soft-Start inhibit function which supports discontinuous operation. n 120µA No Load Quiescent Current n 10µA Shutdown Supply Current Additional features include adjustable fixed operating n 1% Regulation Accuracy frequency that can be synchronized to an external clock n Standard Gate N-Channel Power MOSFETs for noise sensitive applications, gate drivers capable of n Reverse Overcurrent Protection driving large N-channel MOSFETs, a precision undervoltage n 16-Lead Thermally Enhanced TSSOP Package lockout, 10µA shutdown current, short-circuit protection APPLICATIONS and a programmable soft-start. The LT3845A is available in a 16-lead thermally enhanced n 12V and 42V Automotive and Heavy Equipment TSSOP package. n 48V Telecom Power Supplies L, LT, LTC, LTM, Burst Mode, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks of n Avionics and Industrial Control Systems Linear Technology Corporation.
