nous step-down DC/DC converter utilizing a constant
frequency, average current mode control architecture. It
operates from an input voltage range of 4.4V to 105V and
provides an adjustable regulated output voltage from 1V
to V
IN
while delivering up to 2.3A of output current.
The LTC7103 features high frequency operation and a low
minimum on-time that reduce inductor size and enable
constant-frequency operation even at very high step-
down ratios. In addition, the LTC7103 achieves the low-
est possible dropout voltage with 100% maximum duty
cycle operation. During light load operation, converter
efficiency and output ripple can be optimized by selecting
Burst Mode or pulse-skipping operation.
The LTC7103 includes accurate, high speed average cur-
rent programming and monitoring without the need for
an external sense resistor. Additional features include a
bypass LDO to maximize efficiency, fixed or adjustable
output voltage and loop compensation, and a wide array
of protection features to enhance reliability.

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 LTC7103E is guaranteed to meet specifications from 0°C
to 85°C with specifications over the –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range assured by design, characterization and correlation with
statistical process controls. The LTC7103I is guaranteed over the –40°C to
125°C operating junction temperature range, the LTC7103H is guaranteed
over the –40°C to 150°C operating junction temperature range, and the
LTC7103MP is tested and guaranteed over the –55°C to 150°C operating
junction temperature range. High junction temperatures degrade operating
lifetimes; operating lifetime is derated for junction temperatures greater
than 125°C. 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 3:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation P
D
according to the following formula:
T
J
=
T
A
+ (P
D
•

JA
°C/W)
Note 4:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during momentary overload conditions. The maximum
rated junction temperature will be exceeded when this protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified absolute maximum operating
junction temperature may impair device reliability or permanently damage
the device. The overtemperature protection level is not production tested.
Note 5:
The LTC7103 is tested in a feedback loop that servos V
FB
to a
voltage near the internal reference voltage to obtain the specified I
TH
voltage.
Note 6:
The Average Output Current Limit, the Top Switch Peak Current
Limit and the Current Monitor Output Voltage are measured in a test circuit
that simulates operation in a typical application.
Note 7:
The minimum controllable on-time is measured in a test mode.
(See Minimum ON-Time Considerations in the Applications Information
section.)
Note 8:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge
being delivered at the switching frequency.
Note 9:
See Operating at V
OUT
> 6V in the Applications Information section
for details about additional design constraints that may apply.
