DESCRIPTION
High Voltage Synchronous
Current Mode Step-Down
Controller with Adjustable
Operating Frequency
The LT
®
3845 is a high voltage, synchronous, current
mode controller used for medium to high power, high
effi ciency supplies. It offers a wide 4V to 60V input range
(7.5V minimum start-up voltage). An onboard regulator
simplifi es the biasing requirements by providing IC power
directly from V
IN
.
Burst Mode
®
operation maintains high effi ciency at light
loads by reducing IC quiescent current to 120μA. Light
load effi ciency is also improved with the reverse inductor
current inhibit function which supports discontinuous
operation.
Additional features include adjustable fi xed operating
frequency that can be synchronized to an external clock
for noise sensitive applications, gate drivers capable of
driving large N-channel MOSFETs, a precision undervoltage
lockout, 10μA shutdown current, short-circuit protection
and a programmable soft-start.
The LT3845 is available in a 16-lead thermally enhanced
TSSOP package and 16-pin through hole N package.
