The LT
廬
1776 is a wide input range, high efficiency Buck
(step-down) switching regulator. The monolithic die in-
cludes all oscillator, control and protection circuitry. The
part can accept input voltages as high as 60V and contains
an output switch rated at 700mA peak current. Current
mode control delivers excellent dynamic input supply
rejection and short-circuit protection.
The LT1776 contains several features to enhance effi-
ciency. The internal control circuitry is normally powered
via the V
CC
pin, thereby minimizing power drawn directly
from the V
IN
supply (see Applications Information). The
action of the LT1776 switch circuitry is also load depen-
dent. At medium to high loads, the output switch circuitry
maintains fast rise time for good efficiency. At light loads,
rise time is deliberately reduced to avoid pulse skipping
behavior.
The available SO-8 package and 200kHz switching fre-
quency allow for minimal PC board area requirements.
