LT3972 33V, 3.5A, 2.4MHz Step-Down Switching Regulator with 75µA Quiescent Current FEATURESDESCRIPTION ■ Wide Input Range: The LT®3972 is an adjustable frequency (200kHz to 2.4MHz) Operation from 3.6V to 33V monolithic buck switching regulator that accepts input Overvoltage Lockout Protects Circuits voltages up to 33V (62V maximum). A high effi ciency Through 62V Transients 95mΩ switch is included on the die along with a boost ■ 3.5A Maximum Output Current Schottky diode and the necessary oscillator, control and ■ Low Ripple (<15mVP-P) Burst Mode ® Operation: logic circuitry. Current mode topology is used for fast IQ = 75μA at 12VIN to 3.3VOUT transient response and good loop stability. Low ripple ■ Adjustable Switching Frequency: 200kHz to 2.4MHz Burst Mode operation maintains high effi ciency at low ■ Low Shutdown Current: IQ < 1μA output currents while keeping output ripple below 15mV ■ Integrated Boost Diode in a typical application. In addition, the LT3972 can fur- ■ Synchronizable Between 250kHz to 2MHz ther enhance low output current effi ciency by drawing ■ Power Good Flag bias current from the output when VOUT is above 3V. ■ Saturating Switch Design: 95mΩ On-Resistance Shutdown reduces input supply current to less than 1μA ■ Output Voltage: 0.79V to 30V while a resistor and capacitor on the RUN/SS pin provide a ■ Thermal Protection controlled output voltage ramp (soft-start).
