LT3759 Wide Input Voltage Range Boost/SEPIC/Inverting Controller FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Wide VIN Range: 1.6V to 42V The LT®3759 is a wide input range, current mode, DC/DC n Positive or Negative Output Voltage Programming controller which is capable of regulating either positive or with a Single Feedback Pin negative output voltages from a single feedback pin. It can n PGOODOutput Voltage Status Report be configured as a boost, SEPIC or inverting converter. n Accurate 50mV SENSE Threshold Voltage The LT3759 drives a low side external N-channel power n Programmable Soft-Start MOSFET. An internal LDO regulator draws power from n Programmable Operating Frequency (100kHz to 1MHz) with One External Resistor VIN or DRIVE to provide up to a 4.75V supply for the gate driver. The fixed frequency, current-mode architecture n Synchronizable to an External Clock results in stable operation over a wide range of supply n Low Shutdown Current < 1µA and output voltages. The operating frequency of LT3759 n INTVCC Regulator Supplied from VIN or DRIVE can be set over a 100kHz to 1MHz range with an external n Programmable Input Undervoltage Lockout with Hysteresis resistor, or can be synchronized to an external clock using the SYNC pin. APPLICATIONS The LT3759 features soft-start and frequency foldback functions to limit inductor current during start-up and n Datacom and Industrial Boost, SEPIC and Inverting Converters output short-circuit. A window comparator on the FBX pin reports via the PGOOD pin, providing output voltage status n Distributed Power Supplies indication. The device is available in a 12-Lead exposed n Portable Electronic Equipment pad MSOP package. n Automotive L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks and ThinSOT and No RSENSE are trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
