LTC3878 - Wide Operating Range No RSENSE Step-Down Controller

General Description

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.
