DESCRIPTION
The demo circuit 1537A is a dual current mode PWM
step-down DC/DC converter featuring LT
circuit is designed for 5V and 3.3V outputs from a 7V to
60V input. The current capability of each channel is up to 3A
when running individually and 2A when both are sourcing
the same current without special heat sinking. Individual
soft-start, current limit, comparator, input voltage for each
output as well as frequency division and synchronous
and clock output functions simplify the complex design
of dual-output power converters
Both converters are synchronized to either a common
external clock input or a resistor programmable 250kHz to
2MHz internal oscillator. At all frequencies, a 180° phase
shift between channels is maintained, reducing voltage
ripple. Programmable frequency allows optimization be-
tween efficiency and external component size. Each output
can be independently disabled using its own SHDN pin
and be placed in a low quiescent current shutdown mode.
The LT3992 data sheet gives complete description of the
device, operation and application information. The data
