FeaTures DescripTion
Virtual Remote Sense
Controller
The LT
®
4180 solves the problem of providing tight load
regulation over long, highly resistive cables without
requiring an additional pair of remote sense wires. This
Virtual Remote Sense™ device continuously interrogates
the line impedance and corrects the power supply output
voltage via its feedback loop to maintain a steady voltage
at the load regardless of current changes.
The LT4180 is a full-featured controller with 5mA opto-
isolator sink capability, under/overvoltage lockout,
soft-start and a ±1% internal voltage reference. The
Virtual Remote Sense feature set includes user-program-
mable dither frequency and optional spread spectrum
dither.
The LT4180 works with any topology and type of isolated
or nonisolated power supply, including DC/DC converters
and adjustable linear regulators.
The LT4180 is available in a 24-lead, SSOP package.
