FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
U
The LT
®
1533 is a new class of switching regulator designed
to reduce conducted and radiated electromagnetic interfer-
ence (EMI). Ultralow noise and EMI are achieved by providing
user control of the output switch slew rates. Voltage and
current slew rates can be independently programmed to
optimize switcher harmonic content versus efficiency. The
LT1533 can reduce high frequency harmonic power by as
much as 40dB with only minor losses in efficiency.
The LT1533 utilizes a dual output switch current mode
architecture optimized for low noise topologies. The IC
includes two 1A power switches along with all necessary
oscillator, control and protection circuitry. Unique error amp
circuitry can regulate both positive and negative voltages.
The internal oscillator may be synchronized to an external
clock for more accurate placement of switching harmonics.
Protection features include cycle by cycle current limit pro-
tection, undervoltage lockout and thermal shutdown.
Low minimum supply voltage and low supply current during
shutdown make the LT1533 well suited for portable applica-
tions. The part may also be forced into a 50% duty cycle mode
for unregulated applications. The LT1533 is available in the
16-pin narrow SO package.
