The LT
廬
1976 is a 200kHz monolithic buck switching
regulator that accepts input voltages up to 60V. A high
efficiency 1.5A, 0.2鈩?switch is included on the die along
with all the necessary oscillator, control and logic cir-
cuitry. Current mode topology is used for fast transient
response and good loop stability.
Innovative design techniques along with a new high volt-
age process achieve high efficiency over a wide input
range. Efficiency is maintained over a wide output current
range by employing Burst Mode operation at low currents,
utilizing the output to bias the internal circuitry, and by
using a supply boost capacitor to fully saturate the power
switch. Patented circuitry maintains peak switch current
over the full duty cycle range.* Shutdown reduces input
supply current to less than 1碌A(chǔ). External synchronization
can be implemented by driving the SYNC pin with logic-level
inputs. A single capacitor from the C
SS
pin to the output
provides a controlled output voltage ramp (soft-start). The
device also has a power good flag with a programmable
threshold and time-out and thermal shutdown protection.
The LT1976 is available in a 16-pin TSSOP package with
exposed pad leadframe for low thermal resistance.
