LT1374
4.5A, 500kHz Step-Down
Switching Regulator
DESCRIPTIO
The LT®1374 is a 500kHz monolithic buck mode switching
regulator. A 4.5A switch is included on the die along with
all the necessary oscillator, control and logic circuitry. High
switching frequency allows a considerable reduction in the
size of external components. The topology is current mode
for fast transient response and good loop stability. Both
fixed output voltage and adjustable parts are available.
A special high speed bipolar process and new design tech-
niques achieve high efficiency at high switching frequency.
Efficiency is maintained over a wide output current range
by using the output to bias the circuitry and by utilizing a
supply boost capacitor to saturate the power switch.
The LT1374 fits into standard 7-pin DD, TO-220 and fused
lead SO-8 packages. Full cycle-by-cycle short-circuit
protection and thermal shutdown are provided. Standard
surface mount external parts are used, including the
inductor and capacitors. There is the optional function of
shutdown or synchronization. A shutdown signal reduces
supply current to 20µA. Synchronization allows an exter-
nal logic level signal to increase the internal oscillator from
580kHz to 1MHz.
