LTC1430
High Power Step-Down
Switching Regulator Controller
The LTC
®
1430 is a high power, high efficiency switching
regulator controller optimized for 5V to 3.xV applications.
It includes a precision internal reference and an internal
feedback system that can provide output regulation of ±1%
over temperature, load current and line voltage shifts. The
LTC1430 uses a synchronous switching architecture with
two N-channel output devices, eliminating the need for a
high power, high cost P-channel device. Additionally, it
senses output current across the drain-source resistance
of the upper N-channel FET, providing an adjustable
current limit without an external low value sense resistor.
The LTC1430 includes a fixed frequency PWM oscillator for
low output ripple under virtually all operating conditions.
The 200kHz free-running clock frequency can be externally
adjusted from 100kHz to above 500kHz. The LTC1430
features low 350µA quiescent current, allowing greater
than 90% efficiency operation in converter designs from
1A to greater than 50A output current. Shutdown mode
drops the LTC1430 supply current to 1µA. For new
designs, refer to the LTC3830.
