LT3570 1.5A Buck Converter, 1.5A Boost Converter and LDO Controller FEATURESDESCRIPTION n 2.5V to 36V Input Voltage Range The LT®3570 is a buck and boost converter with internal n Programmable Switching Frequency power switches and LDO controller. Each converter is from 500kHz to 2.1MHz designed with a 1.5A current limit and an input range from n Synchronizable Up to 2.75MHz 2.5V to 36V, making the LT3570 ideal for a wide variety n VOUT(MIN): 0.8V of applications. Switching frequencies up to 2.1MHz are n Independent Soft-Start for Each Converter programmed with an external timing resistor and the n Separate VIN Supplies for Each Converter oscillator can be synchronized to an external clock up to n Duty Cycle Range: 0% to 90% at 1MHz 2.75MHz. n Available in 24-Lead (4mm × 4mm) QFN and The LT3570 features a programmable soft-start function 20-Lead TSSOP Packages that limits the feedback voltage during start-up helping prevent overshoot and limiting inrush current. The LDO APPLICATIONS controller is capable of delivering up to 10mA of base current to an external NPN transistor. n Cable and Satellite Set-Top Boxes n Automotive Systems L, LT, LTC and LTM are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
