TYPICAL APPLICATION
DESCRIPTION
42V, 750mA Step-Down
Regulator with 2.5µA
Quiescent Current and
Integrated Diodes
The LT
®
3973 is an adjustable frequency monolithic buck
switching regulator that accepts a wide input voltage range
up to 42V, and consumes only 2.5µA of quiescent current.
A high efficiency switch is included on the die along with
the catch diode, boost diode, and the necessary oscillator,
control and logic circuitry. Low ripple Burst Mode operation
maintains high efficiency at low output currents while keep
-
ing the output ripple below 10mV in a typical application.
A
minimum dropout voltage of 530mV is maintained when
the input voltage drops below the programmed output volt
-
age, such as during automotive cold crank. Current mode
topology is used for fast transient response and good loop
stability. A catch diode current limit provides protection
against shorted outputs and overvoltage conditions, with
thermal shutdown providing additional fault protection. An
accurate programmable undervoltage lockout feature is
available, producing a low shutdown current of 0.75µA.
A power good flag signals when V
OUT
reaches 90% of
the programmed output voltage. The LT3973 is available
in small, thermally enhanced 10-lead MSOP and 3mm ×
3mm DFN packages.
