DESCRIPTION
The
LT
®
3973
is an adjustable frequency monolithic buck
switching regulator that accepts a wide input voltage range
up to 42V, and consumes only 2.5µA of quiescent current.
A high efficiency switch is included on the die along with
the catch diode, boost diode, and the necessary oscillator,
control and logic circuitry. Low ripple Burst Mode operation
maintains high efficiency at low output currents while keep-
ing the output ripple below 10mV in a typical application.
A minimum dropout voltage of 530mV is maintained when
the input voltage drops below the programmed output volt-
age, such as during automotive cold crank. Current mode
topology is used for fast transient response and good loop
stability. A catch diode current limit provides protection
against shorted outputs and overvoltage conditions, with
thermal shutdown providing additional fault protection. An
accurate programmable undervoltage lockout feature is
available, producing a low shutdown current of 0.75µA.
A power good flag signals when V
OUT
reaches 90% of
the programmed output voltage. The LT3973 is available
in small, thermally enhanced 10-lead MSOP and 3mm ×
3mm DFN packages.

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 LT3973E 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
LT3973I is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range. The LT3973H is guaranteed over the full –40°C to
150°C operating junction temperature range. High junction temperatures
degrade operating lifetimes. Operating lifetime is derated at junction
temperatures greater than 125°C. The junction temperature (T
J
, in °C) is
calculated from the ambient temperature (T
A
in °C) and power dissipation
(PD, in Watts) according to the formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ (PD •
θ
JA
)
where
θ

(in °C/W) is the package thermal impedance.

Note 3:
This is the minimum input voltage for operation with accurate FB
reference voltage.
Note 4:
This is the minimum voltage across the boost capacitor needed to
guarantee full saturation of the switch.
Note 5:
The LT3973 contains circuitry that extends the maximum duty
cycle if there is sufficient voltage across the boost capacitor. See the
Application Information section for more details.
Note 6:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed the maximum operating junction temperature
when overtemperature protection is active. Continuous operation above
the specified maximum operating junction temperature may impair device
reliability or permanently damage the device.
