LTC3418EUHF

LTC3418 8A, 4MHz, Monolithic Synchronous Step-Down Regulator DESCRIPTIO The LTC®3418 is a high efficiency, monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC converter utilizing a constant frequency, current mode architecture. It operates from an input voltage range of 2.25V to 5.5V and provides a regulated output voltage from 0.8V to 5V while delivering up to 8A of output current. The internal synchronous power switch increases efficiency and eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode. Switching frequency is set by an external resistor or can be synchronized to an external clock. OPTI-LOOP® compensation allows the transient response to be optimized over a wide range of loads and output capacitors. The LTC3418 can be configured for either Burst Mode operation or forced continuous operation. Forced continuous operation reduces noise and RF interference while Burst Mode operation provides high efficiency by reducing gate charge losses at light loads. In Burst Mode operation, external control of the burst clamp level allows the output voltage ripple to be adjusted according to the requirements of the application. A tracking input in the LTC3418 allows for proper sequencing with respect to another power supply. , LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.

Note 2: The LTC3418 is guaranteed to meet performance specifications from 0oC to 70oC. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. Note 3: The LTC3418 is tested in a feedback loop that adjusts VFB to achieve a specified error amplifier output voltage (ITH). Note 4: Dynamic supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge being delivered at the switching frequency. Note 5: TJ is calculated from the ambient temperature TA and power dissipation PD as follows: LTC3418: TJ = TA + (PD)(34°C/W) Note 6: This parameter is guaranteed by design and characterization.
