LT3431 High Voltage, 3A, 500kHz Step-Down Switching Regulator UFEATURESDESCRIPTIO ■ Wide Input Range: 5.5V to 60V The LT®3431 is a 500kHz monolithic buck switching regu- ■ 3A Peak Switch Current lator that accepts input voltages up to 60V. A high efficiency ■ Small Thermally Enhanced 16-Pin TSSOP Package 3A, 0.1Ω switch is included on the die along with all the nec- ■ Constant 500kHz Switching Frequency essary oscillator, control and logic circuitry. A current mode ■ Saturating Switch Design: 0.1 Ω architecture provides fast transient response and good loop ■ Peak Switch Current Maintained Over stability. Full Duty Cycle Range Special design techniques and a new high voltage process ■ Effective Supply Current: 2.5mA achieve high efficiency over a wide input range. Efficiency ■ Shutdown Current: 30µA is maintained over a wide output current range by using the ■ 1.2V Feedback Reference Voltage output to bias the circuitry and by utilizing a supply boost ■ Easily Synchronizable capacitor to saturate the power switch. Patented circuitry ■ Cycle-by-Cycle Current Limiting maintains peak switch current over the full duty cycle range. U A shutdown pin reduces supply current to 30µA and the de- APPLICATIO S vice can be externally synchronized from 580kHz to 700kHz with logic level inputs. ■ Industrial and Automotive Power Supplies ■ Portable Computers The LT3431 is available in a thermally enhanced 16-pin ■ Battery Chargers TSSOP package. ■ Distributed Power Systems , LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
