Linear Technology LTC3851-1
The LTC3851-1 features a precision 0.8V reference and a power good indicator. The TK/SS pin ramps the output voltage during start-up and shutdown with coincident or ratiometric tracking. The MODE/PLLIN pin selects among Burst Mode operation, pulse skipping mode or continuous inductor current mode at light loads and allows the IC to be synchronized to an external clock.FEATURES
