LT3505 1.2A, Step-Down Switching Regulator in 3mm × 3mm DFN FEATURES DESCRIPTION ! Wide Input Range: 3.6V to 36V Operating, The LT®3505 is a current mode PWM step-down DC/DC 40V Maximum converter with an internal 1.4A power switch. The wide ! Up to 1.2A Output Current operating input range of 3.6V to 36V (40V maximum) ! Resistor-Programmable Fixed-Frequency Operation makes the LT3505 ideal for regulating power from a wide from 200kHz to 3MHz variety of sources, including unregulated wall transform- ! Output Adjustable Down to 780mV ers, 24V industrial supplies and automotive batteries. The ! Short-Circuit Robust oscil ator can be programmed for high frequency operation ! Uses Tiny Capacitors and Inductors allowing the use of tiny, low cost external components or ! Soft-Start it can be programmed for lower frequency operation to ! Low Shutdown Current: <2µA maximize effi ciency. ! Low VCESAT Switch: 350mV at 1A Cycle-by-cycle current limit provides protection against ! Thermally Enhanced, Low Profi le 3mm x 3mm shorted outputs and soft-start eliminates input current DFN-8 and MSOP-8 Packages surge during start-up. The low current (<2µA) shutdown mode provides output disconnect, enabling easy power APPLICATIONS management in battery-powered systems. , LT, LTC and LTM are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation. !
