Triple Monolithic
Switching Regulator

DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
1941 is a triple current mode DC/DC converter
with internal power switches. Two of the regulators are
step-down converters with 3A and 2A power switches.
The third regulator can be configured as a boost, inverter
or SEPIC converter and has a 1.5A power switch. All
three converters are synchronized to a 1.1MHz oscillator.
The two step-down converters run with opposite phase,
reducing input ripple current. The output voltages are
set with external resistor dividers and each regulator
has independent shutdown and soft-start circuits. Each
regulator generates a power good signal when its output
is in regulation, easing power supply sequencing and
interfacing with microcontrollers and DSPs.
The high switching frequency offers several advantages
by permitting the use of small inductors and ceramic
capacitors, leading to a very small triple output solution.
The constant switching frequency, combined with low
impedance ceramic capacitors, result in low, predictable
output ripple. With its wide input voltage range of 3.5V to
25V, the LT1941 regulates a broad array of power sources
from 4-cell batteries and 5V logic rails to unregulated wall
transformers, lead acid batteries and distributed-power
supplies.

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 LT1941E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
Note 3:
Current limit is guaranteed by design and/or correlation to static
test. Slope compensation reduces current limit at higher duty cycles.

Note 4:
This is the minimum voltage across the boost capacitor needed to
guarantee full saturation of the internal power switch.
Note 5:
Current limit is guaranteed by design and/or correlation to static
test.
Note 6:
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
temperature may impair device reliability.
