The LT
®
1940 is a dual current mode PWM step-down
DC/DC converter with internal 2A power switches. Both con-
verters are synchronized to a single 1.1MHz oscillator and
run with opposite phases, reducing input ripple current. The
output voltages are set with external resistor dividers, and
each regulator has independent shutdown and soft-start
circuits. Each regulator generates a power-good signal
when its output is in regulation, easing power supply se-
quencing and interfacing with microcontrollers and DSPs.
The LT1940’s 1.1MHz switching frequency allows the use
of tiny inductors and capacitors, resulting in a very small
dual 1.4A output solution. Constant frequency and ceramic
capacitors combine to produce low, predictable output
ripple voltage. With its wide input range of 3.6V to 25V, the
LT1940 regulates a wide variety of power sources, from
4-cell batteries and 5V logic rails to unregulated wall trans-
formers, lead acid batteries and distributed-power supplies.
The LT1940L is intended to operate from regulated 5V
supplies. A current mode PWM architecture provides fast
transient response with simple compensation components
and cycle-by-cycle current limiting. Frequency foldback and
thermal shutdown provide additional protection.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2: The LT1940E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
