Description
24V, 12A Monolithic
Synchronous Step-Down
DC/DC Converter
The LTC
®
3610 is a high efficiency, monolithic synchronous
step-down DC/DC converter that can deliver up to 12A
output current from a 4V to 24V (28V maximum) input
supply. It uses a valley current control architecture to de-
liver very low duty cycle operation at high frequency with
excellent transient response. The operating frequency is
selected by an external resistor and is compensated for
variations in V
IN
and V
OUT
.
The LTC3610 can be configured for discontinuous or
forced continuous operation at light load. Forced continu-
ous operation reduces noise and RF interference while
discontinuous mode provides high efficiency by reducing
switching losses at light loads.
Fault protection is provided by internal foldback current
limiting, an output overvoltage comparator and an optional
short-circuit shutdown timer. Soft-start capability for sup-
ply sequencing is accomplished using an external timing
capacitor. The regulator current limit is user programmable.
A power good output voltage monitor indicates when
the output is in regulation. The LTC3610 is available in a
compact 9mm × 9mm QFN package.

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 3: The LTC3610 is tested in a feedback loop that adjusts V

to
achieve a specified error amplifier output voltage (I
TH
).
Note 4: The LTC3610 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T

. The LTC3610E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 125°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 125°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls. The LTC3610I is guaranteed over the
full –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range. Note that
the maximum ambient temperature is determined by specific operating
conditions in conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal
resistance and other environmental factors.
