LM3488 High Efficiency Low-Side N-Channel Controller for Switching Regulators
General Description
The LM3488 is a versatile Low-Side N-FET high performance controller for switching regulators. It is suitable for use in topologies requiring low side FET, such as boost, flyback, SEPIC, etc. Moreover, the LM3488 can be operated at extremely high switching frequency in order to reduce the overall solution size. The switching frequency of LM3488 can be adjusted to any value between 100kHz and 1MHz 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.
