LT1375/LT1376 1.5A, 500kHz Step-Down Switching Regulators FEATURES Constant 500kHz Switching Frequency is current mode for fast transient response and good loop Uses All Surface Mount Components stability. Both fixed output voltage and adjustable parts are Inductor Size Reduced to 5H available. Easily Synchronizable A special high speed bipolar process and new design Saturating Switch Design: 0.4 techniques achieve high efficiency at high switching fre- Effective Supply Current: 2.5mA quency. Efficiency is maintained over a wide output cur- Shutdown Current: 20A rent range by using the output to bias the circuitry and by Cycle-by-Cycle Current Limiting utilizing a supply boost capacitor to saturate the power U switch. A shutdown signal will reduce supply current to APPLICATIO S 20A on both parts. The LT1375 can be externally syn- chronized from 580kHz to 900kHz with logic level inputs. Portable Computers The LT1375/LT1376 fit into standard 8-pin PDIP and SO Battery-Powered Systems packages, as well as a fused lead 16-pin SO with much Battery Charger lower thermal resistance. Full cycle-by-cycle short-cir- Distributed Power cuit protection and thermal shutdown are provided. Standard surface mount external parts are used, includ- DESCRIPTIO ing the inductor and capacitors. The LT 1375/LT1376 are 500kHz monolithic buck mode For low input voltage applications with 3.3V output, see switching regulators. A 1.5A switch is included on the die LT1507. This is a functionally identical part that can along with all the necessary oscillator, control and logic operate with input voltages between 4.5V and 12V. circuitry.
