DESCRIPTION
The LT^®3480 is an adjustable frequency (200kHz to
2.4MHz) monolithic buck switching regulator that ac-
cepts input voltages up to 36V (60V maximum). A high
efficiency 0.25 switch is included on the die along with
a boost Schottky diode and the necessary oscillator, con-
trol, and logic circuitry. Current mode topology is used
for fast transient response and good loop stability. Low
ripple Burst Mode operation maintains high efficiency at
low output currents while keeping output ripple below
15mV in a typical application. In addition, the LT3480 can
further enhance low output current efficiency by draw-
ing bias current from the output when V_OUT is above 3V.
Shutdown reduces input supply current to less than 1µA
while a resistor and capacitor on the RUN/SS pin provide a
controlled output voltage ramp (soft-start). A power good
flag signals when V_OUT reaches 86% of the programmed
output voltage. The LT3480 is available in 10-lead MSOP
and 3mm × 3mm DFN packages with exposed pads for
low thermal resistance.
