LTC3824
High Voltage Step-Down
Controller With 40µA
Quiescent Current
DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
3824 is a step-down DC/DC controller designed
to drive an external P-channel MOSFET. With a wide input
range of 4V to 60V and a high voltage gate driver, the
LTC3824 is suitable for many industrial and automotive
high power applications. Constant frequency current mode
operation provides excellent performance.
The LTC3824 can be configured for Burst Mode operation.
Burst Mode operation enhances low current efficiency
(only 40μA quiescent current) and extends battery run
time. The switching frequency can be programmed up to
600kHz and is easily synchronizable.
Other features include current limit, soft-start, micropower
shutdown, and Burst Mode disable.
The LTC3824 is available in a 10-lead MSE power 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:
The LTC3824E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C
to 85°C temperature range are assured by design characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls. The LTC3824I grade is
guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature
range.
Note 3:
This parameter is tested in a feedback loop that servos V
FB
to the
reference voltage with the V
C
pin forced to 1V.
Note 4:
This specification represents the maximum voltage on V
C
where
switching (GATE pin) is guaranteed to be off.

PIN FUNCTIONS
GND (Pin 1):
Chip Ground Pin.
SYNC/MODE (Pin 2):
Synchronization Input and Burst
Mode Operation Enable/Disable. If this pin is left open
or pulled higher than 2V, Burst Mode operation will be
enabled at light load and the typical threshold of entering
Burst Mode operation is one third of current limit. If this
pin is grounded or the synchronization pulse is present
with a frequency greater than 20kHz then Burst Mode
operation is disabled and the LTC3824 goes into pulse
skipping at light loads. To synchronize the LTC3824, the
duty cycle of the synchronizing pulse can range from 10%
to 70% and the synchronizing frequency has to be higher
than the programmed frequency.
R
SET
(Pin 3):
A resistor from R
SET
to ground sets the
LTC3824 switching frequency.
V
C
(Pin 4):
The Output of the voltage error amplifier gm
and the control signal of the current mode PWM control
loop. Switching starts at 0.7V, and higher V
C
corresponds
to higher inductor current. When V
C
is pulled below 25mV,
the LTC3824 goes into micropower shutdown.
V
FB
(Pin 5):
Error Amplifier Inverting Input. A resistor
divider to this pin sets the output voltage. When V
FB
is
less than 0.5V, the switching frequency will fold back to
50kHz to reduce the minimum on-cycle.
SS (Pin 6):
Soft-Start Pin. A capacitor on this pin sets
the output ramp-up rate. The typical time for SS to
reach the programmed level is (C • 0.8V)/7μA.
SENSE (Pin 7):
Current Sense Input Pin. A sense re-
sistor, R
S
, from V
IN
to SENSE sets the current limit to
100mV/R
S
.
V
CC
(Pin 8):
Chip Power Supply. Power supply bypass-
ing is required.
GATE (Pin 9):
Gate Drive for The External P-channel
MOSFET. Typical peak drive current is 2.5A and the drive
voltage is clamped to 8V when V
CC
is higher than 9V.
CAP (Pin 10):
A Low ESR Capacitor of at Least 0.1μF is
required from this pin to V
CC
to bypass the internal regula-
tor for biasing the gate driver circuitry.
Exposed Pad (Pin 11):
GND. Must be soldered to PCB with
expanded metal trace for rated thermal performance.
