LTC3812-5 60V Current Mode Synchronous Switching Regulator Controller FEATURESDESCRIPTION The LTC3812-5 is a synchronous step-down switching n High Voltage Operation: Up to 60V regulator controller that can directly step down voltages n Large 1Ω Gate Drivers from up to 60V input, making it ideal for telecom and n No Current Sense Resistor Required automotive applications. The LTC3812-5 uses a constant n Dual N-Channel MOSFET Synchronous Drive on-time valley current control architecture to deliver very n Extremely Fast Transient Response low duty cycles with accurate cycle-by-cycle current limit n ±0.5% 0.8V Voltage Reference without requiring a sense resistor. n Programmable Soft-Start n Generates 5.5V Driver Supply A precise internal reference provides 0.5% DC accuracy. n Selectable Pulse-Skipping Mode Operation A high bandwidth (25MHz) error amplifi er provides very n Power Good Output Voltage Monitor fast line and load transient response. Large 1Ω gate driv- n Adjustable On-Time/Frequency: tON(MIN) < 100ns ers allow the LTC3812-5 to drive large power MOSFETs n Adjustable Cycle-by-Cycle Current Limit for higher current applications. The operating frequency n Undervoltage Lockout On Driver Supply is selected by an external resistor and is compensated for n Output Overvoltage Protection variations in VIN. A shutdown pin allows the LTC3812-5 to n Thermally Enhanced 16-Pin TSSOP Package be turned off reducing the supply current to <230μA. Integrated bias control generates gate drive power from APPLICATIONS the input supply during start-up and when an output short- n 48V Telecom and Base Station Power Supplies circuit occurs, with the addition of a small external SOT23 n Networking Equipment, Servers MOSFET. When in regulation, power is derived from the n Automotive and Industrial Control Systems output for higher effi ciency.
