DescripTion
The LTC
3810-5 is a synchronous step-down switching
®
regulator controller that can directly step-down voltages
from up to 60V, making it ideal for telecom and automo-
tive applications. The LTC3810-5 uses a constant on-time
valley current control architecture to deliver very low duty
cycles with accurate cycle-by-cycle current limit, without
requiring a sense resistor.
A precise internal reference provides 0.5% DC accuracy. A
high bandwidth (25MHz) error amplifier provides very fast
line and load transient response. Large 1Ω gate drivers
allow the LTC3810-5 to drive multiple MOSFETs for higher
current applications. The operating frequency is selected
by an external resistor and is compensated for variations
in V
and can also be synchronized to an external clock
IN
for switching-noise sensitive applications. A shutdown
pin allows the LTC3810-5 to be turned off, reducing the
supply current to 240µA.
Integrated bias control generates gate drive power from
the input supply during start-up or when an output short-
circuit occurs, with the addition of a small external SOT23
MOSFET. When in regulation, power is derived from the
output for higher efficiency.
