LT3502/LT3502A
1.1MHz/2.2MHz, 500mA
Step-Down Regulators in
2mm × 2mm DFN and MS10
DESCRIPTION
The LT®3502/LT3502A are current mode PWM step-down
DC/DC converters with an internal 500mA power switch,
in tiny 8-lead 2mm × 2mm DFN and 10-lead MS10
packages. The wide input voltage range of 3V to 40V makes
the LT3502/LT3502A suitable for regulating power from a
wide variety of sources, including 24V industrial supplies
and automotive batteries. Its high operating frequency
allows the use of tiny, low cost inductors and capacitors,
resulting in a very small solution. Constant frequency
above the AM band avoids interfering with radio reception,
making the LT3502A particularly suitable for automotive
applications.
Cycle-by-cycle current limit and frequency foldback
provide protection against shorted outputs. Soft-start
and frequency foldback eliminates input current surge
during start-up. DA current sense provides further protec-
tion in fault conditions. An internal boost diode reduces
component count.
