The LTC3816EFE#PBF is a high-performance step-down switching regulator controller from Analog Devices. It is designed to provide a constant voltage output over a wide input voltage range, with up to 95% efficiency. The device can operate in either continuous current mode or pulsed-current mode, and provides excellent line and load regulation. The maximum output current is 6A, making it suitable for powering high-current loads. The device has a range of protection mechanisms, including short-circuit, hiccup and thermal protection. The wide input voltage range allows the device to operate in both ac-dc and dc-dc applications, making it suitable for a variety of applications, including servers, communications equipment, storage devices and motor control applications.
