The LT C
®
3863 is a robust, inverting DC/DC PMOS control-
ler optimized for automotive and industrial applications. It
drives
a P-channel power MOSFET to generate a negative
output and requires just a single inductor to complete the
circuit. Output voltages from –0.4V to –150V are typically
achievable with higher voltages possible, only limited by
external components.
The LTC3863 offers excellent light load efficiency, draw

ing only 70μ
A quiescent current in a user programmable
Burst Mode operation. Its peak current mode, constant
frequency PWM architecture provides for good control of
switching frequency and output current limit. The switch
-
ing frequency
can be programmed from 50kHz to 850kHz
with an external resistor and can be synchronized to an
external clock from 75kHz to 750kHz.
The LTC3863 offers programmable soft-start or output
tracking. Safety features include overvoltage, overcurrent
and short-circuit protection including frequency foldback.
The LTC3863 is available in thermally enhanced 12-lead
MSOP and 3mm × 4mm DFN packages.
