TYPICAL APPLICATION
33V, 3.5A, 2.4MHz
Step-Down Switching Regulator
with 75µA Quiescent Current
The LT
®
3972 is an adjustable frequency (200kHz to 2.4MHz)
monolithic buck switching regulator that accepts input
voltages up to 33V (62V maximum). A high effi ciency
95mΩ switch is included on the die along with a boost
Schottky diode and the necessary oscillator, control and
logic circuitry. Current mode topology is used for fast
transient response and good loop stability. Low ripple
Burst Mode operation maintains high effi ciency at low
output currents while keeping output ripple below 15mV
in a typical application. In addition, the LT3972 can fur-
ther enhance low output current effi ciency by drawing
bias current from the output when V
OUT
is above 3V.
Shutdown reduces input supply current to less than 1μA
while a resistor and capacitor on the RUN/SS pin provide a
controlled output voltage ramp (soft-start). A power good
ag signals when V
OUT
reaches 91% of the programmed
output voltage. The LT3972 is available in 10-pin MSOP
and 3mm × 3mm DFN packages with exposed pads for
low thermal resistance.

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 LT3972E is guaranteed to meet performance specifi cations
from 0°C to 125°C. Specifi cations over the –40°C to 125°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls. The LT3972I specifi cations are
guaranteed over the –40°C to 125°C temperature range. The LT3972H
specifi cations are guaranteed over the –40°C to 150°C operating
temperature range. High junction temperatures degrade operating
lifetimes. Operating lifetime is derated at junction temperatures greater
than 125°C.
Note 3: Bias current fl ows out of the FB pin.
Note 4: This is the minimum voltage across the boost capacitor needed to
guarantee full saturation of the switch.
Note 5: Absolute Maximum at V
IN
and RUN/SS pins is 62V for non-
repetitive 1 minute transients, and 40V for continuous operation.
