TYPICAL APPLICATION
FEATURES DESCRIPTION
76V, 1A Step-Down
Regulator
The LTC
®
3637 is a high efficiency step-down DC/DC
regulator with an internal high side power switch that
draws only 12μA DC supply current while maintaining a
regulated output voltage at no load.
The LTC3637 can supply up to 1A load current and features
a programmable peak current limit that provides a simple
method for optimizing efficiency and for reducing output
ripple and component size. The LTC3637’s combination
of Burst Mode
®
operation, integrated power switch, low
quiescent current, and programmable peak current limit
provides high efficiency over a broad range of load currents.
With its wide input range of 4V to 76V, and programmable
overvoltage lockout, the LTC3637 is a robust regulator
suited for regulating from a wide variety of power sources.
Additionally, the LTC3637 includes a precise run threshold
and soft-start feature to guarantee that the power system
start-up is well-controlled in any environment.
The LTC3637 is available in the thermally-enhanced
3mm × 5mm DFN and the MSE16 packages.
