LT1959

Key Features

  • It will operate down to 1.21V output pared to 2.42V for the LT1506
  • A 4.5A switch is included on the die along with all the necessary oscillator, control and logic circuitry
  • The topology is current mode for fast transient response and good loop stability
  • A special high speed bipolar process and new design techniques achieve high efficiency at high switching frequency
  • The LT1959 fits into standard 7-pin DD 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 external logic level signal to increase the internal oscillator from 580kHz to 1MHz
