The LTC
®
1148 series is a family of synchronous step-
down switching regulator controllers featuring automatic
Burst Mode
TM
operation to maintain high efficiencies at
low output currents. These devices drive external comple-
mentary power MOSFETs at switching frequencies up to
250kHz using a constant off-time current-mode architec-
ture providing constant ripple current in the inductor.
The operating current level is user-programmable via an
external current sense resistor. Wide input supply range
allows operation from 3.5V* to 18V (20V maximum).
Constant off-time architecture provides low dropout regu-
lation limited by only the R
DS(ON)
of the external MOSFET
and resistance of the inductor and current sense resistor.
The LTC1148 series combines synchronous switching for
maximum efficiency at high currents with an automatic low
current operating mode, called Burst Mode
operation, which
reduces switching losses. Standby power is reduced to only
2mW at V
IN
= 10V (at I
OUT
= 0). Load currents in Burst Mode
operation are typically 0mA to 300mA.
For operation up to 48V input, see the LTC1149 and
LTC1159 data sheets and Application Note 54.
