Datasheet LT3971A, LT3971A-5 (Analog Devices)

LT3971A/LT3971A-5 38V, 1.3A, 2MHz Step-Down Regulator with 2.2µA Quiescent Current
FEATURES DESCRIPTION
n
Ultralow Quiescent Current:
The LT®3971A 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: 5V
up to 38V. Low quiescent current design consumes only
2.2μA IQ Regulating 12VIN to 5VOUT
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 38V
15mV in a typical application. An internally compensated n
1.3A 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 0.33Ω switch n
Synchronizable Between 250kHz to 2MHz
is included on the die along with a boost Schottky diode n

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 LT3971A, reducing the input supply current to n Power Good Flag 700nA. A capacitor on the SS pin provides a controlled n Soft-Start Capability inrush current (soft-start). A power good flag signals when n Internal Compensation VOUT reaches 91% of the programmed output voltage. The n Output Voltage: 1.19V to 30V LT3971A is available in a small 10-lead MSOP package n Small Thermally Enhanced 10-Lead MSOP Package with an exposed pad for low thermal resistance. The LT3971A and LT3971A-5 have a more accurate ref-
