The LTC3872EDDBTRM#PBF is an advanced synchronous step-down DC-DC switching regulator controller from Analog Devices. It operates from an input voltage of 4.5 V to 24 V, and is capable of delivering up to 8 A of continuous output current. The device also includes many unique features such as output voltage sequencing, programmable soft start, power-good output, adjustable skip mode and auto-restart, as well as protection features such as over-voltage, under-voltage, current sense, over temperature and short-circuit protection. The device also features an integrated oscillator, precision reference, and MOSFET drivers that can reduce external part count and system cost. It is available in a 28-lead SSOP (shrink small outline package) package and is suitable for use in industrial, automotive and consumer applications.
