Texas Instruments LM3477
The LM3477/A is a high-side N-channel MOSFET switching regulator controller. It can be used in topologies requiring a high side MOSFET such as buck, inverting (buck-boost) and zeta regulators. The LM3477/A's internal push pull driver allows compatibility with a wide range of MOSFETs.FEATURES

DESCRIPTION
This, the wide input voltage range, use of discrete power components and adjustable current limit allows the LM3477/A to be optimized for a wide variety of applications. The LM3477/A uses a high switching frequency of 500kHz to reduce the overall solution size. Currentmode control requires only a single resistor and capacitor for frequency compensation. The current mode architecture also yields superior line and load regulation and cycle-by-cycle current limiting. A 5µA shutdown state can be used for power savings and for power supply sequencing.
