DESCRIPTION
Low I

Synchronous
Step-Down Controller
The LT C
®
3835 is a high performance step-down switching
regulator controller that drives an all N-channel synchro-
nous power MOSFET stage. A constant-frequency current
mode architecture allows a phase-lockable frequency of
up to 650kHz.
The 80µA no-load quiescent current extends operating
life in battery powered systems. OPTI-LOOP compensa-
tion allows the transient
response to be optimized over
a wide range of output capacitance and ESR values. The
LTC3835 features a precision 0.8V reference and a power
good output indicator. The 4V to 36V input supply range
encompasses a wide range of battery chemistries.
The TRACK/SS pin ramps the output voltage during start-
up. Current foldback limits MOSFET heat dissipation during
short-circuit conditions.
