The LTC
®
3703-5 is a synchronous step-down switching
regulator controller that can directly step-down voltages
from up to 60V input, making it ideal for telecom and au-
tomotive applications. The LTC3703-5 drives external logic
level N-channel MOSFETs using a constant frequency (up
to 600kHz), voltage mode architecture.
A precise internal reference provides 1% DC accuracy. A
high bandwidth error amplifier and patented* line feed
forward compensation provide very fast line and load
transient response. Strong 1Ω gate drivers allow the
LTC3703-5 to drive multiple MOSFETs for higher current
applications. The operating frequency is user program-
mable from 100kHz to 600kHz and can also be synchro-
nized to an external clock for noise-sensitive applications.
Current limit is programmable with an external resistor
and utilizes the voltage drop across the synchronous
MOSFET to eliminate the need for a current sense resistor.
For applications requiring up to 100V operation, refer to
the LTC3703 data sheet.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LTC3703-5 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. The LTC3703I-5 is guaranteed over the full
–40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range.
Note 3:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation P
D
according to the following formula:
LTC3703-5: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 100
°C/W)
G Package
Note 4:
The LTC3703-5 is tested in a feedback loop that servos V
FB
to the
reference voltage with the COMP pin forced to a voltage between 1V and 2V.
Note 5:
The dynamic input supply current is higher due to the power
MOSFET gate charging being delivered at the switching frequency
(Q
G
• f
OSC
).
Note 6:
Guaranteed by design. Not subject to test.
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
temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 8:

guaranteed by correlation to wafer level measurement.
