The LTC
廬
1430A is a high power, high efficiency switching
regulator controller optimized for 5V to 1.xV-3.xV applica-
tions. It includes a precision internal reference and an
internal feedback system that can provide output regula-
tion of
鹵1%
over temperature, load current and line voltage
shifts. The LTC1430A uses a synchronous switching archi-
tecture with two N-channel output devices, eliminating the
need for a high power, high cost P-channel device. Addi-
tionally, it senses output current across the drain-source
resistance of the upper N-channel FET, providing an
adjustable current limit without an external low value sense
resistor.
The LTC1430A includes a fixed frequency PWM oscillator
for low output ripple under virtually all operating condi-
tions. The 200kHz free-running clock frequency can be
externally adjusted from 100kHz to above 500kHz. The
LTC1430A鈥檚 maximum duty cycle is typically 93.5% com-
pared to 88% for the LTC1430. This permits 3.3V to 2.xV
conversion using a low power 5V supply. The LTC1430A
features low 350碌A(chǔ) quiescent current, allowing greater
than 90% efficiency operation in converter designs from
1A to greater than 50A output current. Shutdown mode
drops the LTC1430A supply current to 1碌A(chǔ).
