The LT
®
3959 is a wide input range, current mode, DC/DC
controller which is capable of regulating either positive or
negative output voltages from a single feedback pin. It can
be configured as a boost, SEPIC or inverting converter.
It features an internal low side N-channel MOSFET rated
for 6A at 40V and driven from an internal regulated sup
-
ply provided from V
IN
or DRIVE. The fixed frequency,
current-mode architecture results in stable operation over
a wide range of supply and output voltages. The operating
frequency of LT3959 can be set over a 100kHz to 1MHz
range with an external resistor, or can be synchronized
to an external clock using the SYNC pin.
The LT3959 features soft-start and frequency foldback
functions to limit inductor current during start-up and
output short-circuit. A window comparator on the FBX
pin reports via the PGOOD pin, providing output voltage
status indication.
