monolithic step-down regulator. The regulator features
a single resistor programmable output voltage, internal
compensation and high efficiencies over a wide V
OUT
range.
The step-down regulator operates from an input voltage
range of 3.1V to 60V and provides an adjustable rail-to-rail
output range from (V
IN
– 0.5V) to ground while delivering
up to 4A of output current. The switching frequency is
also adjusted with an external resistor. A user-selectable
mode input is provided to allow the user to trade off ripple
noise for efficiency at light loads; Burst Mode operation
provides the highest efficiency at light loads, while forced
continuous mode provides low output ripple. The MODE/
SYNC pin can also be used to allow the user to synchronize
the switching frequency to an external clock.
The LTC3649 operates with a peak current mode architec-
ture that allows for fast transient response with inherent
cycle-to-cycle current limit protection. It also features
programmable output current limit, current monitoring
and input voltage regulation.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
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:
All voltages are referred to V
SGND
/V
PGND
.
Note 3:
Transient absolute maximum voltages should not be applied for
more than 4% of the switching duty cycle.
Note 4:
V
OUT
can be programmed to V
IN
if the ISET pin is driven to that
voltage. If a resistor is used to program V
ISET
, the current into the ISET pin
will decrease as V
ISET
approaches V
IN
. Refer to the ISET current vs V
ISET
graph as an example and reference. Furthermore, during high I
OUT
and
high duty cycle operation, V
OUT
may be limited by the voltage drop across
the top switch. Refer to the High Duty Cycle/Dropout Operation section for
more details.
Note 5:
The LTC3649 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTC3649E is guaranteed to meet specifications from
0°C to 85°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
LTC3649I is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range. Note that the maximum ambient temperature
consistent with these specifications is determined by specific operating
conditions in conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal
impedance and other environmental factors.
Note 6:
The quiescent current in FC mode does not include switching loss
of the power FETs.
Note 7:
This IC 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
