Description
DC1724A is a µModule
step-down converter, featuring the
®
LTM8029, which consumes only 5µA of quiescent current.
The demo circuit is designed for a 5V, 600mA output at an
operating frequency of 600kHz. The input voltage range
is from 5.6V to 36V. Equipped with an off-time skipping
capability, the LTM8029 can operate at input voltages lower
than other step-down regulators.
The wide input range of the LTM8029 allows a variety of
input sources such as automotive batteries and industrial
supplies. Its current mode control scheme creates fast
transient response and good loop stability. At light loads,
the LTM8029 operates in Burst Mode
