LT1940/LT1940L Dual Monolithic 1.4A, 1.1MHz Step-Down Switching Regulator UFEATURESDESCRIPTIO ■ Wide Input Voltage Range The LT®1940 is a dual current mode PWM step-down LT1940: 3.6V to 25V DC/DC converter with internal 2A power switches. Both con- LT1940L: 3.6V to 7V verters are synchronized to a single 1.1MHz oscillator and ■ Two 1.4A Output Switching Regulators with run with opposite phases, reducing input ripple current. The Internal Power Switches output voltages are set with external resistor dividers, and ■ Constant 1.1MHz Switching Frequency each regulator has independent shutdown and soft-start ■ Anti-Phase Switching Reduces Ripple circuits. Each regulator generates a power-good signal ■ Independent Shutdown/Soft-Start Pins when its output is in regulation, easing power supply se- ■ Independent Power Good Indicators Ease quencing and interfacing with microcontrollers and DSPs.
