Description

AI
The LTC3854 is a high performance synchronous stepdown switching DC/DC controller that drives an all N-channel synchronous power MOSFET stage.The LTC3854 features a 400kHz constant frequency current mode architecture. The LTC3854 operates from a 4.5V to 38V (40V absolute maximum) input voltage range and regulates the output voltage from 0.8V to 5.5V.The RUN/SS pin provides both soft-start and enable features. OPTI-LOOP compensation allows the transient response to be optimized over a wide range of output capacitance and ESR values. Current foldback limits MOSFET dissipation during short circuit conditions. Current foldback functions are disabled during soft-start.The LTC3854 has a minimum on-time at 75ns, making it well suited for high step-down ratios. The strong onboard MOSFET drivers allow the use of high power external MOSFETs to produce output currents up to 20A.ApplicationsAutomotive SystemsTelecom SystemsIndustrial EquipmentDistributed DC Power Systems
