LT3430/LT3430-1
High Voltage, 3A,
200kHz/100kHz Step-Down
Switching Regulators
DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
3430/LT3430-1 are monolithic buck switching
regulators that accept input voltages up to 60V. A high ef-
ficiency 3A, 0.1Ω switch is included on the die along with
all the necessary oscillator, control and logic circuitry. A
current mode architecture provides fast transient response
and excellent loop stability.
Special design techniques and a new high voltage process
achieve high efficiency over a wide input range. Efficiency
is maintained over a wide output current range by using
the output to bias the circuitry and by utilizing a supply
boost capacitor to saturate the power switch. Patented
circuitry* maintains peak switch current over the full duty
cycle range. A shutdown pin reduces supply current to
30µA and a SYNC pin can be externally synchronized with
a logic level input from 228kHz to 700kHz for the LT3430
or from 125kHz to 250kHz for the LT3430-1.
The LT3430/LT3430-1 are available in a thermally enhanced
16-pin TSSOP package.

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:
Gain is measured with a V
C
swing equal to 200mV above the low
clamp level to 200mV below the upper clamp level.
Note 3:
Minimum input voltage is not measured directly, but is guaranteed
by other tests. It is defined as the voltage where internal bias lines are still
regulated so that the reference voltage and oscillator remain constant.
Actual minimum input voltage to maintain a regulated output will depend
upon output voltage and load current. See Applications Information.
Note 4:
This is the minimum voltage across the boost capacitor needed to
guarantee full saturation of the internal power switch.
Note 5:
Boost current is the current flowing into the BOOST pin with the
pin held 5V above input voltage. It flows only during switch on time.
Note 6:
Input supply current is the quiescent current drawn by the input
pin when the BIAS pin is held at 5V with switching disabled. Bias supply
current is the current drawn by the BIAS pin when the BIAS pin is held
at 5V. Total input referred supply current is calculated by summing input
supply current (I
VIN
) with a fraction of bias supply current (I
BIAS
):
I
TOTAL
= I
VIN
+ (I
BIAS
)(V
OUT
/V
IN
)
With V
IN
= 15V, V
OUT
= 5V, I
VIN
= 1.4mA, I
BIAS
= 2.9mA, I
TOTAL
= 2.4mA.
Note 7:
Switch on resistance is calculated by dividing V
IN
to SW voltage
by the forced current (3A). See Typical Performance Characteristics for the
graph of switch voltage at other currents.
Note 8:
The LT3430EFE/LT3430EFE-1 are 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 LT3430IFE/LT3430IFE-1 are guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C
operating junction temperature range.
Note 9:
See Peak Switch Current Limit vs Junction Temperature graph in
the Typical Performance Characteristics section.
Note 10:
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 11:
The maximum operational Boost-SW voltage is limited by
thermal and load current constraints. See ‘Boost Pin’ and ‘Thermal
Calculations’ in the Applications Information section.
