LT3957A Boost, Flyback, SEPIC and Inverting Converter with 5A, 40V Switch FEATURES DESCRIPTION n Wide Input Voltage Range: 3V to 40V The LT 3957A is a wide input range, current mode DC/DC n Single Feedback Pin for Positive or Negative converter which is capable of generating either positive or Output Voltage negative output voltages. It can be configured as either a n Internal 5A/40V Power Switch boost, flyback, SEPIC or inverting converter. It features n Current Mode Control Provides Excellent Transient an internal low side N-channel power MOSFET rated for Response 40V at 5A and driven from an internal regulated 5.2V n Programmable Operating Frequency (100kHz to supply. The fixed frequency, current-mode architecture 1MHz) with One External Resistor results in stable operation over a wide range of supply n Synchronizable to an External Clock and output voltages. n Low Shutdown Current < 1A The operating frequency of LT3957A can be set with an n Internal 5.2V Low Dropout Voltage Regulator external resistor over a 100kHz to 1MHz range, and can n Programmable Input Undervoltage Lockout with be synchronized to an external clock using the SYNC pin. Hysteresis A minimum operating supply voltage of 3V, and a low n Programmable Soft-Start shutdown quiescent current of less than 1A, make the n Thermally Enhanced QFN (5mm 6mm) Package LT3957A ideally suited for battery-powered systems. The LT3957A features soft-start and frequency foldback APPLICATIONS functions to limit inductor current during start-up. The n Automotive LT3957A has improved load transient performance com- n Telecom pared to the LT3957. n Industrial L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks and No R and ThinSOT are trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
