DESCRIPTION
The LM3485 is a high efficiency PFET switching
regulator controller that can be used to quickly and
easily develop a small, low cost, switching buck
regulator for a wide range of applications. The
hysteretic control architecture provides for simple
design without any control loop stability concerns
using a wide variety of external components. The
PFET architecture also allows for low component
count as well as ultra-low dropout, 100% duty cycle
operation. Another benefit is high efficiency operation
at light loads without an increase in output ripple.
Current limit protection is provided by measuring the
voltage across the PFET’s R_DS(ON), thus eliminating
the need for a sense resistor. The cycle-by-cycle
current limit can be adjusted with a single resistor,
ensuring safe operation over a range of output
currents.
