FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
U
The LT
®
1776 is a wide input range, high efficiency Buck
(step-down) switching regulator. The monolithic die in-
cludes all oscillator, control and protection circuitry. The
part can accept input voltages as high as 60V and contains
an output switch rated at 700mA peak current. Current
mode control delivers excellent dynamic input supply
rejection and short-circuit protection.
The LT1776 contains several features to enhance effi-
ciency. The internal control circuitry is normally powered
via the V
CC
pin, thereby minimizing power drawn directly
from the V
IN
supply (see Applications Information). The
action of the LT1776 switch circuitry is also load depen-
dent. At medium to high loads, the output switch circuitry
maintains fast rise time for good efficiency. At light loads,
rise time is deliberately reduced to avoid pulse skipping
behavior.
The available SO-8 package and 200kHz switching fre-
quency allow for minimal PC board area requirements.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2: Control circuitry powered from V
CC
.
Note 3: Switch current limit is DC trimmed and tested in production.
Inductor dl/dt rate will cause a somewhat higher current limit in actual
application.
Note 4: Minimum switch on time is production tested with a 39 resistive
load to ground.
Note 5: Parts are guaranteed to survive 60V on V
IN
and V
SW
. However,
thermal constraints will limit V
IN
in some applications, depending primarily
on maximum output current and switching frequency. See Applications
section for more information.
Note 6: Internal oscillator is guaranteed to sync up to 400kHz. However,
thermal constraints and/or controllability issues may place a lower limit on
switching frequency in actual usage. See Applications section for more
information.
