The LT
®
3971A is an adjustable frequency monolithic buck
switching regulator that accepts a wide input voltage range
up to 38V. Low quiescent current design consumes only
2.8µA of supply current while regulating with no load. Low
ripple Burst Mode operation maintains high efficiency at
low output currents while keeping the output ripple below
15mV in a typical application. An internally compensated
current mode topology is used for fast transient response
and good loop stability. A high efficiency 0.33 switch
is included on the die along with a boost Schottky diode
and the necessary oscillator, control and logic circuitry.
An accurate 1V threshold enable pin can be used to shut
down the LT3971A, reducing the input supply current to
700nA.
A capacitor on the SS pin provides a controlled
inrush current (soft-start). A power good flag signals when
V
OUT
reaches 91% of the programmed output voltage. The
LT3971A is available in a small 10-lead MSOP package
with an exposed pad for low thermal resistance.
The LT3971A and LT3971A-5 have a more accurate ref-
erence voltage compared to the LT3971 and LT3971-5.
The LT3971A-5 also has specified V
OUT
pin current and
ABSMAX current. These characteristics are important for
USB applications.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: The LT3971AI is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating
junction temperature range. High junction temperatures degrade operating
lifetimes. Operating lifetime is derated at junction temperatures greater
than 125°C.
Note 3: This is the minimum voltage across the boost capacitor needed to
guarantee full saturation of the switch.
Note 4: Minimum input voltage depends on application circuit.
