DESCRIPTION
The LTC
庐
1435 is a synchronous step-down switching
regulator controller that drives external N-channel power
MOSFETs using a fixed frequency architecture. Burst
Mode
TM
operation provides high efficiency at low load
currents. A maximum duty cycle limit of 99% provides low
dropout operation which extends operating time in bat-
tery-operated systems.
The operating frequency is set by an external capacitor
allowing maximum flexibility in optimizing efficiency. A
secondary winding feedback control pin, SFB, guarantees
regulation regardless of load on the main output by
forcing continuous operation. Burst Mode operation is
inhibited when the SFB pin is pulled low which reduces
noise and RF interference.
Soft start is provided by an external capacitor which can
be used to properly sequence supplies. The operating
current level is user-programmable via an external current
sense resistor. Wide input supply range allows operation
from 3.5V to 30V (36V maximum).
