LT3991/LT3991-3.3/LT3991-5 55V, 1.2A Step-Down Regulator with 2.8µA Quiescent Current FeaTuresDescripTion n Ultralow Quiescent Current: The LT®3991 is an adjustable frequency monolithic buck 2.8µA IQ Regulating 12VIN to 3.3VOUT switching regulator that accepts a wide input voltage range n Fixed Output Voltages: 3.3V, 5V up to 55V. Low quiescent current design consumes only 2.1µA IQ Regulating 12VIN 2.8µA of supply current while regulating with no load. Low n Low Ripple Burst Mode ® Operation: ripple Burst Mode operation maintains high efficiency at Output Ripple < 15mVP-P low output currents while keeping the output ripple below n Wide Input Voltage Range: 4.3V to 55V 15mV in a typical application. An internally compensated n 1.2A Maximum Output Current current mode topology is used for fast transient response n Adjustable Switching Frequency: 200kHz to 2MHz and good loop stability. A high efficiency 0.44Ω switch n Synchronizable Between 250kHz to 2MHz is included on the die along with a boost Schottky diode n Fast Transient Response and the necessary oscillator, control and logic circuitry. n Accurate 1V Enable Pin Threshold An accurate 1V threshold enable pin can be used to shut n Low Shutdown Current: IQ = 700nA down the LT3991, reducing the input supply current to n Power Good Flag 700nA. A capacitor on the SS pin provides a controlled n Soft-Start CapabilityV inrush current (soft-start). A power good flag signals n Internal Compensation when VOUT reaches 91% of the programmed output volt- n Saturating Switch Design: 0.44Ω On-Resistance age. The LT3991 is available in small 10-pin MSOP and n Output Voltage: 1.19V to 30V 3mm × 3mm DFN packages with exposed pads for low n Small Thermally Enhanced 10-Pin MSOP Package thermal resistance. and (3mm L × 3mm) DFN Packages , LT, LTC, LTM, Burst Mode, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
