LTC3835-1 Low IQ Synchronous Step-Down Controller FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Wide Output Voltage Range: 0.8V ≤ VOUT ≤ 10V The LTC®3835-1 is a high performance step-down switch- n Low Operating IQ: 80μA ing regulator controller that drives an all N-channel synchro- n OPTI-LOOP ® Compensation Minimizes COUT nous power MOSFET stage. A constant-frequency current n ±1% Output Voltage Accuracy mode architecture allows a phase-lockable frequency of n Wide VIN Range: 4V to 36V Operation up to 650kHz. n Phase-Lockable Fixed Frequency 140kHz to 650kHz The 80μA no-load quiescent current extends operating n Dual N-Channel MOSFET Synchronous Drive life in battery powered systems. OPTI-LOOP compensa- n Very Low Dropout Operation: 99% Duty Cycle tion allows the transient response to be optimized over n Adjustable Output Voltage Soft-Start or Tracking a wide range of output capacitance and ESR values. The n Output Current Foldback Limiting LTC3835-1 features a precision 0.8V reference and a power n Output Overvoltage Protection good output indicator. The 4V to 36V input supply range n Low Shutdown IQ: 10μA encompasses a wide range of battery chemistries. n Selectable Continuous, Pulse-Skipping or Burst Mode® Operation at Light Loads The TRACK/SS pin ramps the output voltage during start- n Small 16-Lead Narrow SSOP or 3mm × 5mm up. Current foldback limits MOSFET heat dissipation during DFN Package short-circuit conditions.
