LT3957A
Boost, Flyback, SEPIC and
Inverting Converter
with 5A, 40V Switch
DESCRIPTION
The LT^®3957A is a wide input range, current mode DC/DC
converter which is capable of generating either positive or
negative output voltages. It can be configured as either a
boost, flyback, SEPIC or inverting converter. It features
an internal low side N-channel power MOSFET rated for
40V at 5A and driven from an internal regulated 5.2V
supply. The fixed frequency, current-mode architecture
results in stable operation over a wide range of supply
and output voltages.
The operating frequency of LT3957A can be set with an
external resistor over a 100kHz to 1MHz range, and can
be synchronized to an external clock using the SYNC pin.
A minimum operating supply voltage of 3V, and a low
shutdown quiescent current of less than 1μA, make the
LT3957A ideally suited for battery-powered systems.
The LT3957A features soft-start and frequency foldback
functions to limit inductor current during start-up. The
LT3957A has improved load transient performance com-
pared to the LT3957.
