LT3480 36V, 2A, 2.4MHz Step-Down Switching Regulator with 70µA Quiescent Current FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Wide Input Range: The LT®3480 is an adjustable frequency (200kHz to Operation from 3.6V to 36V 2.4MHz) monolithic buck switching regulator that ac- Over-Voltage Lockout Protects Circuits cepts input voltages up to 36V (60V maximum). A high through 60V Transients efficiency 0.25 switch is included on the die along with n 2A Maximum Output Current a boost Schottky diode and the necessary oscillator, con- n Low Ripple Burst Mode® Operation trol, and logic circuitry. Current mode topology is used 70µA IQ at 12VIN to 3.3VOUT for fast transient response and good loop stability. Low Output Ripple < 15mV ripple Burst Mode operation maintains high efficiency at n Adjustable Switching Frequency: 200kHz to 2.4MHz low output currents while keeping output ripple below n Low Shutdown Current: IQ < 1µA 15mV in a typical application. In addition, the LT3480 can n Integrated Boost Diode further enhance low output current efficiency by draw- n Synchronizable Between 250kHz to 2MHz ing bias current from the output when VOUT is above 3V. n Power Good Flag Shutdown reduces input supply current to less than 1µA n Saturating Switch Design: 0.25 On-Resistance while a resistor and capacitor on the RUN/SS pin provide a n 0.790V Feedback Reference Voltage controlled output voltage ramp (soft-start). A power good n Output Voltage: 0.79V to 20V flag signals when VOUT reaches 86% of the programmed n Soft-Start Capability output voltage. The LT3480 is available in 10-lead MSOP n Small 10-Lead Thermally Enhanced MSOP and and 3mm × 3mm DFN packages with exposed pads for (3mm × 3mm) DFN Packages low thermal resistance.
