POWER LOSS (mW) LTC3873 TM No R Constant SENSE Frequency Current Mode Boost/Flyback/SEPIC DC/DC Controller FEATURES DESCRIPTION n V and V Limited Only by External Components The LTC 3873 is a constant frequency current mode, IN OUT n Internal or Programmable External Soft-Start boost, flyback or SEPIC DC/DC controller that drives an n Constant Frequency 200kHz Operation N-channel power MOSFET in high input and output volt- n Adjustable Current Limit age converter applications. Soft-start can be programmed n Current Sense Resistor Optional using an external capacitor. n Maximum 60V on SW Node with R Sensing DS(ON) The LTC3873 provides 1.5% output voltage accuracy and n 1.5% Voltage Reference Accuracy consumes only 300A quiescent current during normal n Current Mode Operation for Excellent Line and Load operation and only 55A during micropower start-up. Transient Response Using a 9.3V internal shunt regulator, the LTC3873 can n Low Quiescent Current: 300A be powered from a high input voltage through a resistor TM n Low Profile (1mm) ThinSOT and (0.75mm) or it can be powered directly from a low impedance DC 2mm 3mm DFN Package voltage of 9V or less. The LTC3873 is available in 8-lead ThinSOT and 2mm APPLICATIONS 3mm DFN packages.
