LTC3878

Overview

The LTC®3878 is a synchronous step-down switching DC/DC controller optimized for high switching frequency and fast transient response. The constant on-time valley current mode architecture allows for a wide input range, including very low duty factor operation.

  • Wide VIN Range: 4V to 38V n ±1% 0.8V Voltage Reference
  • Extremely Fast Transient Response n tON(MIN): 43ns
  • No RSENSE™ Valley Current Mode Control
  • Stable with Low ESR Ceramic COUT
  • Supports Smooth Start-Up Into Pre-Biased Output
  • Optimized for High Step-Down Ratios
  • Pin Compatible with the LTC1778 (No EXTVCC Pin)
  • Power Good Output Voltage Monitor
  • Dual N-Channel MOSFET Synchronous Drive
  • Adjustable Switching Frequency
