LTC3623 15V, ±5A Rail-to-Rail Synchronous Buck Regulator
FeaTures DescripTion
n Single Resistor Programmable VOUT: 0V to VIN – 0.5V The LTC®3623 is a high efficiency, monolithic synchro- n Silent Switcher® Architecture nous buck regulator in which the output voltage is pro- n IISET Accuracy: ±1% grammed with a single external resistor. The accurate n Tight VOUT Regulation Across VOUT Range internally generated 50µA current source on the ISET pin n Output Current Monitor Accuracy: ±5% allows the user to program an output voltage from 0V n Programmable Wire Drop Compensation to 0.5V below VIN. The user can also directly drive the n Easy to Parallel for Higher Current and Heat Spreading ISET pin with an external voltage supply to program the n Input Supply Voltage Regulation Loop converter’s VOUT. The VOUT voltage is fed directly back n High Efficiency: Up to 96% to the error amplifier to be regulated to the ISET voltage. n Output Current: ±5A The operating supply voltage range for the SVIN pin is from n Integrated N-MOSFETs (60mΩ Top & 30mΩ Bottom) 15V down to 4V, while the PVIN pin’s voltage range is 15V n Adjustable Switching Frequency: 400kHz to 4MHz down to 1.5V, making it suitable for dual Li-Ion batteries n VIN Range: 4V to 15V and for taking power from a 12V or 5V rail. n Current Mode Operation for Excellent Line and Load The operating frequency is programmable from 400kHz Transient Response to 4MHz with an external RT resistor. Higher switching fre- n Shutdown Mode Draws Less Than 1µA Supply Current quency allows the use of smaller surface mount inductors n Low Profile 24-Lead 3mm × 5mm QFN Package while lower frequency allows for higher power efficiency.
