The LT3430/LT3430-1 are monolithic buck switching regulators that accept input voltages up to 60V. A high efficiency 3A, 0.1O switch is included on the die along with all the necessary oscillator, control and logic circuitry. A current mode architecture provides fast transient response and excellent loop stability. Special design techniques and a new high voltage process achieve high efficiency over a wide input range. Efficiency is maintained over a wide output current range by using the output to bias the circuitry and by utilising a supply boost capacitor to saturate the power switch. Patented circuitry* maintains peak switch current over the full duty cycle range. A shutdown pin reduces supply current to 30µA and a SYNC pin can be externally synchronized with a logic level input from 228kHz to 700kHz for the LT3430 or from 125kHz to 250kHz for the LT3430-1. The LT3430/LT3430-1 are available in a thermally enhanced 16-pin TSSOP package.
