The LTC
®
1435A is a synchronous step-down switching
regulator controller that drives external N-channel power
MOSFETs using a fixed frequency architecture. A wide
duty cycle range of 5% to 99% allows high V
IN
to low V
OUT
DC/DC conversion, as well as low dropout operation that
extends operating time in battery-operated systems. Burst
Mode
TM
operation provides high efficiency at low load
currents.
The operating frequency is set by an external capacitor
allowing maximum flexibility in optimizing efficiency. A
secondary winding feedback control pin, SFB, guarantees
regulation regardless of load on the main output by
forcing continuous operation. Burst Mode operation is
inhibited when the SFB pin is pulled low, which reduces
noise and RF interference.
Soft start is provided by an external capacitor that can be
used to properly sequence supplies. The operating cur-
rent level is user-programmable via an external current
sense resistor. Wide input supply range allows operation
from 3.5V to 30V (36V maximum).

according to the following formula:

Note 2: The LTC1435A is tested in a feedback loop which servos V
OSENSE
to the balance point for the error amplifier (V
ITH
= 1.19V).
Note 3: Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency. See Applications Information.
Note 4: Oscillator frequency is tested by measuring the C

charge and
discharge currents and applying the formula:
