Description
Triple Monolithic Step-Down
Regulator with LDO
The LT
®
3507A is a triple, current mode, DC/DC converter
with internal power switches and a low dropout regulator.
The switching converters are step-down converters capable
of generating one 2.7A output and two 1.8A outputs. All
three converters are synchronized to a single oscillator.
The 2.7A output runs with opposite phase to the other two
converters, reducing input ripple current. Each regulator
has independent shutdown and soft-start circuits, and
generates a power good signal when its output is in regu
-
lation, easing power supply sequencing and interfacing
with microcontrollers and DSPs.
The switching frequency is set with a single resistor yielding
a range of 250kHz to 2.5MHz. The high switching frequency
allows the use of small inductors and capacitors resulting
in a very small triple output supply. The constant switching
frequency, combined with low impedance ceramic capaci
-
tors, results in low, predictable output ripple. Frequency
fo
ldback and thermal shutdown provide protection against
fault conditions. The LT3507A provides higher output cur
-
rent than available with the LT3507.
