DESCRIPTION
The LT®3844 is a DC/DC controller used for medium power,
low part count, high efficiency supplies. It offers a wide
4V to 60V input range (7.5V minimum start-up voltage)
and can implement step-down, step-up, inverting and
SEPIC topologies.
The LT3844 includes Burst Mode operation, which reduces
quiescent current below 120μA and maintains high effi-
ciency at light loads. An internal high voltage bias regulator
allows for simple biasing.
Additional features include current mode control for fast
line and load transient response; programmable fixed
operating frequency that can be synchronized to an ex-
ternal clock for noise sensitive applications; a gate driver
capable of driving large N-channel MOSFETs; a precision
undervoltage lockout function; 10μA shutdown current;
short-circuit protection and a programmable soft-start
function.
The LT3844 is available in a 16-lead thermally enhanced
TSSOP package.
