LT3759
Wide Input Voltage Range
Boost/SEPIC/Inverting
Controller
DESCRIPTION
The
LT
®
3759
is a wide input range, current mode, DC/DC
controller which is capable of regulating either positive or
negative output voltages from a single feedback pin. It can
be configured as a boost, SEPIC or inverting converter.
The LT3759 drives a low side external N-channel power
MOSFET. An internal LDO regulator draws power from
V
IN
or DRIVE to provide up to a 4.75V supply for the gate
driver. The fixed frequency, current-mode architecture
results in stable operation over a wide range of supply
and output voltages. The operating frequency of LT3759
can be set over a 100kHz to 1MHz range with an external
resistor, or can be synchronized to an external clock using
the SYNC pin.
The LT3759 features soft-start and frequency foldback
functions to limit inductor current during start-up and
output short-circuit. A window comparator on the FBX pin
reports via the
PGOOD
pin, providing output voltage status
indication. The device is available in a 12-Lead exposed
pad MSOP 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:
For V
IN
below 4V, the EN/UVLO pin must not exceed V
IN
for proper
operation.
Note 3:
This pin is for switching purposes. Do not tie directly to a supply.
Note 4:
The LT3759E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from the 0°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range.
Specifications over the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature
INTV
CC
– 0.05
range are assured by design, characterization and correlation with
statistical process controls. The LT3759I is guaranteed over the full
–40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range. The LT3759H 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.
Note 5:
The LT3759 is tested in a feedback loop which servos V
FBX
to the
reference voltages (1.6V and –0.8V) with the VC pin forced to 1.3V.
Note 6:
Rise and fall times are measured at 10% and 90% levels.
