The LT
®
3503 is a current mode PWM step-down DC/DC
converter with an internal 1.45A power switch. The wide
operating input range of 3.6V to 20V makes the LT3503
ideal for regulating power from a wide variety of sources.
Its high operating frequency allows the use of tiny, low
cost inductors and ceramic capacitors, resulting in low,
predictable output ripple.
Cycle-by-cycle current limit provides protection against
shorted outputs and soft-start eliminates input current
surge during start-up. The low current (<2µA) shutdown
mode provides output disconnect, enabling easy power
management in battery-powered systems.
