DescripTion
The
LT
®
3844
is a DC/DC controller used for medium power,
low part count, high efficiency supplies. It offers a wide
4V to 60V input range (7.5V minimum start-up voltage)
and can implement step-down, step-up, inverting and
SEPIC topologies.
The LT3844 includes Burst Mode operation, which reduces
quiescent current below 120µA and maintains high effi-
ciency at light loads. An internal high voltage bias regulator
allows for simple biasing.
Additional features include current mode control for fast
line and load transient response; programmable fixed
operating frequency that can be synchronized to an ex-
ternal clock for noise sensitive applications; a gate driver
capable of driving large N-channel MOSFETs; a precision
undervoltage lockout function; 10µA shutdown current;
short-circuit protection and a programmable soft-start
function.
The LT3844 is available in a 16-lead thermally enhanced
TSSOP package.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LT3844 includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 3:
The LT3844E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications from
0°C to 125°C junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C to 125°C
operating junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization
and correlation with statistical process controls. The LT3844I is guaranteed
over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range.

Note 4:
V
IN
voltages below the start-up threshold (7.5V) are only
supported when the V
CC
is externally driven above 6.5V.
Note 5:
Operating range is dictated by MOSFET absolute maximum VGS.
Note 6:
Supply current specification does not include switch drive
currents. Actual supply currents will be higher.
Note 7:
DC measurement of gate drive output “ON” voltage is typically
8.6V. Internal dynamic bootstrap operation yields typical gate “ON”
voltages of 9.8V during standard switching operation. Standard operation
gate “ON” voltage is not tested but guaranteed by design.
Note 8:
The –1V absolute maximum on the SW pin is a transient condition.
It is guaranteed by design and not subject to test.
