LTC3649 60V, 4A Synchronous Step-Down Regulator with Rail-to-Rail Programmable Output FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Wide VIN Range: 3.1V to 60V The LTC®3649 is a high efficiency 60V, 4A synchronous n Wide VOUT Range: 0V to (VIN – 0.5V) monolithic step-down regulator. The regulator features n Single Resistor VOUT Programming a single resistor programmable output voltage, internal n Integrated 110mΩ Top N-Channel/50mΩ Bottom compensation and high efficiencies over a wide VOUT range. N-Channel MOSFETs The step-down regulator operates from an input voltage n 95% Efficiency with 12VIN and 5VOUT range of 3.1V to 60V and provides an adjustable rail-to-rail n Regulated IQ: 440µA, Shutdown IQ: 18µA output range from (VIN – 0.5V) to ground while delivering n Accurate Current Monitoring (±4%) without Sense up to 4A of output current. The switching frequency is Resistor also adjusted with an external resistor. A user-selectable n Accurate Resistor Programmable Frequency mode input is provided to allow the user to trade off ripple (300kHz to 3MHz) with ±50% Frequency Sync Range noise for efficiency at light loads; Burst Mode operation n Accurate Programmable Output Current provides the highest efficiency at light loads, while forced n Input Voltage Regulation for MPPT Applications continuous mode provides low output ripple. The MODE/ n ±0.8% Output Voltage Accuracy SYNC pin can also be used to allow the user to synchronize n Peak Current Mode Operation the switching frequency to an external clock. n Programmable Wire Drop Compensation n Burst Mode® Operation, Forced Continuous Mode The LTC3649 operates with a peak current mode architec- n Internal Compensation and Programmable Soft-Start ture that allows for fast transient response with inherent n Overtemperature Protection cycle-to-cycle current limit protection. It also features n Available in Thermally Enhanced 28-Lead (4mm × programmable output current limit, current monitoring 5mm) QFN and TSSOP Packages and input voltage regulation.
