DESCRIPTION
Monolithic 2A Step-Down
Regulator Plus Linear
Regulator/Controller
The LT
?/DIV>
1939 is a current mode PWM step-down DC/DC
converter with an internal 2.3A switch. The wide input
range of 3V to 25V makes the LT1939 suitable for regu-
lating power from a wide variety of sources, including
automotive batteries, industrial supplies and unregulated
wall adapters.
Resistor-programmable 250kHz to 2.2MHz frequency
range and synchronization capability enable optimization
between ef ciency and external component size. Cycle-
by-cycle current limit, frequency foldback and thermal
shutdown provide protection against a shorted output.
The soft-start feature controls the ramp rate of the output
voltage, eliminating input current surge during start-up,
and also provides output tracking.
The LT1939 contains an internal NPN transistor with feed-
back control which can be con gured as a linear regulator
or as a linear regulator controller.
The LT1939s low current shutdown mode (<12糀) enables
easy power management in battery-powered systems.
