LT1956/LT1956-5 High Voltage, 1.5A, 500kHz Step-Down Switching Regulators UFEATURESDESCRIPTIO ■ Wide Input Range: 5.5V to 60V The LT ®1956/LT1956-5 are 500kHz monolithic buck ■ 1.5A Peak Switch Current switching regulators with an input voltage capability up to ■ Small 16-Pin SSOP or Thermally Enhanced 60V. A high efficiency 1.5A, 0.2Ω switch is included on the TSSOP Package die along with all the necessary oscillator, control and logic ■ Saturating Switch Design: 0.2 Ω circuitry. A current mode architecture provides fast tran- ■ Peak Switch Current Maintained Over sient response and good loop stability. Full Duty Cycle Range Special design techniques and a new high voltage process ■ Constant 500kHz Switching Frequency achieve high efficiency over a wide input range. Efficiency ■ Effective Supply Current: 2.5mA is maintained over a wide output current range by using the ■ Shutdown Current: 25µA output to bias the circuitry and by utilizing a supply boost ■ 1.2V Feedback Reference (LT1956) capacitor to saturate the power switch. Patented circuitry ■ 5V Fixed Output (LT1956-5) maintains peak switch current over the full duty cycle ■ Easily Synchronizable range*. A shutdown pin reduces supply current to 25µA and ■ Cycle-by-Cycle Current Limiting the device can be externally synchronized from 580kHz to U 700kHz with a logic level input. APPLICATIO S The LT1956/LT1956-5 are available in fused-lead 16-pin ■ High Voltage, Industrial and Automotive SSOP and thermally enhanced TSSOP packages. ■ Portable Computers , LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation. ■ Battery-Powered Systems *U.S. PATENT NO. 6,498,466 ■ Battery Chargers ■ Distributed Power Systems UTYPICAL APPLICATIO5V Buck ConverterEfficiency vs Load Current MMSD914TI 100 VIN = 12V 6 L = 18µH 0.1µF VOUT = 5V VIN BOOST 10µH 90 12V 4 2 VOUT VIN SW 5V (TRANSIENTS V 2.2µF† OUT = 3.3V TO 60V) 10MQ060N 1A 100V LT1956-5 80 22µF CERAMIC 6.3V 15 10 SHDN BIAS CERAMIC 70 EFFICIENCY (%) 14 12 SYNC FB 60 GND VC 1, 8, 9, 16 11 50 220pF 0 0.25 0.50 0.75 1.00 1.25 4.7k LOAD CURRENT (A) 1956 TA02 4700pF †UNITED CHEMI-CON THCS50EZA225ZT 1956 TA01 1956f 1
