LT3481 36V, 2A, 2.8MHz Step-Down Switching Regulator with 50µA Quiescent Current FEATURESDESCRIPTION ■ Wide Input Range: 3.6V to 34V Operating, The LT®3481 is an adjustable frequency (300kHz to 2.8MHz) 36V Maximum monolithic buck switching regulator that accepts input ■ 2A Maximum Output Current voltages up to 34V (36V maximum). A high effi ciency ■ Low Ripple Burst Mode® Operation 0.18Ω switch is included on the die along with a boost 50μA IQ at 12VIN to 3.3VOUT Schottky diode and the necessary oscillator, control, and Output Ripple < 15mV logic circuitry. Current mode topology is used for fast ■ Adjustable Switching Frequency: 300kHz to 2.8MHz transient response and good loop stability. Low ripple ■ Low Shutdown Current: IQ < 1μA Burst Mode operation maintains high effi ciency at low ■ Integrated Boost Diode output currents while keeping output ripple below 15mV ■ Power Good Flag in a typical application. In addition, the LT3481 can fur- ■ Saturating Switch Design: 0.18Ω On-Resistance ther enhance low output current effi ciency by drawing ■ 1.265V Feedback Reference Voltage bias current from the output when VOUT is above 3V. ■ Output Voltage: 1.265V to 20V Shutdown reduces input supply current to less than 1μA ■ Soft-Start Capability while a resistor and capacitor on the RUN/SS pin provide a ■ Synchronizable Between 275kHz to 475kHz controlled output voltage ramp (soft-start). A power good ■ Small 10-Pin Thermally Enhanced MSOP and fl ag signals when VOUT reaches 90% of the programmed (3mm x 3mm) DFN Packages output voltage. The LT3481 is available in 10-Pin MSOP and 3mm x 3mm DFN packages with exposed pads for APPLICATIONS low thermal resistance.
