LT3971
38V, 1.2A, 2MHz
Step-Down Regulator with
2.8µA Quiescent Current
DESCRIPTION
The LT^®3971 is an adjustable frequency monolithic buck
switching regulator that accepts a wide input voltage range
up to 38V. Low quiescent current design consumes only
2.8μA of supply current while regulating with no load. Low
ripple Burst Mode operation maintains high efficiency at
low output currents while keeping the output ripple below
15mV in a typical application. An internally compensated
current mode topology is used for fast transient response
and good loop stability. A high efficiency 0.33Ω switch
is included on the die along with a boost Schottky diode
and the necessary oscillator, control and logic circuitry.
An accurate 1V threshold enable pin can be used to shut
down the LT3971, reducing the input supply current to
700nA. A capacitor on the SS pin provides a controlled
inrush current (soft-start). A power good flag signals
when V_OUT reaches 91% of the programmed output volt-
age. The LT3971 is available in small 10-pin MSOP and
3mm × 3mm DFN packages with exposed pads for low
thermal resistance.
