LTC7803 40V Low IQ, 3MHz Synchronous Step-Down Controller with Spread Spectrum FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Low Operating IQ: 12µA (14V VIN to 3.3V VOUT) The LTC®7803 is a high performance, 100% Duty Cycle n Wide Input Voltage Range: 4.5V to 40V Capable, synchronous step-down DC/DC switching n Output Voltage Up to 40V regulator controller that drives an all N-channel power n Spread Spectrum Operation MOSFET stage. Synchronous rectification increases effi- n RSENSE or DCR Current Sensing ciency, reduces power losses and eases thermal require- n PassThru™/100% Duty Cycle Capable ments. A constant frequency current mode architecture n Programmable Fixed Frequency (100kHz to 3MHz) allows a phase-lockable switching frequency of up to n Phase-Lockable Frequency (100kHz to 3MHz) 3MHz. The LTC7803 operates from a wide 4.5V to 40V n Selectable Continuous, Pulse-Skipping, or Low input supply range. Ripple Burst Mode® Operation at Light Loads The very low no-load quiescent current extends operating n Low Shutdown IQ: 1.2μA runtime in battery powered systems. OPTI-LOOP com- n Thermally Enhanced 16-Pin 3mm × 3mm QFN and pensation allows the transient response to be optimized MSOP Packages over a wide range of output capacitance and ESR values. n AEC-Q100 Qualification in Progress The MODE pin selects among Burst Mode operation, pulse-skipping mode, or continuous inductor current APPLICATIONS mode at light loads. n The LTC7803 additionally features spread spectrum oper- Automotive and Transportation n ation which significantly reduces the peak radiated and Industrial n conducted noise on both the input and output supplies, Military/Avionics n making it easier to comply with electromagnetic interfer- Telecommunications ence (EMI) standards.
