LT3970 Series 40V, 350mA Step-Down Regulator with 2.5µA Quiescent Current and Integrated Diodes FeaTuresDescripTion n Low Ripple Burst Mode ® Operation The LT®3970 is an adjustable frequency monolithic buck 2.5µAIQ at 12VIN to 3.3VOUT switching regulator that accepts a wide input voltage Output Ripple < 5mVP-P range up to 40V, and consumes only 2.5µA of quiescent n Wide Input Voltage Range: 4.2V to 40V Operating current. A high efficiency switch is included on the die n Adjustable Switching Frequency: 200kHz to 2.2MHz along with the catch diode, boost diode, and the neces- n Integrated Boost and Catch Diodes sary oscillator, control and logic circuitry. Low ripple Burst n 350mA Output Current Mode operation maintains high efficiency at low output n Fixed Output Voltages: 3.3V, 3.42V, 5V currents while keeping the output ripple below 5mV in a 1.8µAIQ at 12VIN typical application. Current mode topology is used for fast n Accurate 1V Enable Pin Threshold transient response and good loop stability. A catch diode n Low Shutdown Current: IQ = 0.7µA current limit provides protection against shorted outputs n Internal Sense Limits Catch Diode Current and overvoltage conditions. An enable pin with accurate n Power Good Flag threshold is available, producing a low shutdown current n Output Voltage: 1.21V to 25V of 0.7µA. A power good flag signals when VOUT reaches n Internal Compensation 90% of the programmed output voltage. The LT3970 is n Small 10-Pin MSOP and (3mm × 2mm) DFN Packages available in small 10-pin MSOP and 3mm × 2mm DFN packages. applicaTions L, LT, LTC, LTM, Burst Mode, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
