3 Description
The LM3488 is a versatile low-side N-FET high-
performance controller for switching regulators. This
device is suitable for use in topologies requiring low-
side FET, such as boost, flyback, or SEPIC.
Moreover, the LM3488 can be operated at extremely
high switching frequency to reduce the overall
solution size. The switching frequency of LM3488 can
be adjusted to any value from 100 kHz to 1 MHz by
using a single external resistor or by synchronizing it
to an external clock. Current mode control provides
superior bandwidth and transient response, besides
cycle-by-cycle current limiting. Output current can be
programmed with a single external resistor.
The LM3488 has built-in features such as thermal
shutdown, short-circuit protection, and overvoltage
protection. Power-saving shutdown mode reduces the
total supply current to 5 µA and allows power supply
sequencing. Internal soft-start limits the inrush current
at start-up.
