DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
1912 is an adjustable frequency (200kHz to 500kHz)
monolithic step-down switching regulator that accepts
input voltages up to 36V. A high efficiency 0.25Ω switch
is included on the die along with a boost Schottky diode
and the necessary oscillator, control and logic circuitry.
Current mode topology is used for fast transient response
and good loop stability. The LT1912 allows the use of
ceramic capacitors resulting in low output ripple while
keeping total solution size to a minimum. The low current
shutdown mode reduces input supply current to less than
1µA while a resistor and capacitor on the RUN/SS pin
provide a controlled output voltage ramp (soft-start). The
LT1912 is available in 10-pin MSOP and 3mm
×
3mm DFN
packages with exposed pads for low thermal resistance.

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 LT1912E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 125°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 125°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
Note 3:
Bias current flows out of the FB pin.
Note 4:
This is the minimum voltage across the boost capacitor needed to
guarantee full saturation of the switch.
