The LT C
®
3703 is a synchronous step-down switching
regulator controller that can directly step down voltages
from up to 100V, making it ideal for telecom and automo-
tive applications. The LTC3703 drives external N-channel
MOSFETs using a constant frequency (up to 600kHz),
voltage mode architecture.
A precise internal reference provides 1% DC accuracy.
A high bandwidth error amplifier and patented line feed-
forward compensation provide very fast line and load
transient response. Strong 1Ω gate drivers allow the
LTC3703 to drive multiple MOSFETs for higher current ap-
plications. The operating frequency is user programmable
from 100kHz to 600kHz and can also be synchronized to
an external clock for noise-sensitive applications. Cur-
rent limit is programmable with an external resistor and
utilizes the voltage drop across the synchronous MOSFET
to eliminate the need for a current sense resistor. For ap-
plications requiring up to 60V operation with logic-level
MOSFETS, refer to the LTC3703-5 data sheet.
