down switching DC/DC controller that drives an all N-
channel synchronous power MOSFET stage.
The LTC3854 features a 400kHz constant frequency current
mode architecture. The LTC3854 operates from a 4.5V to
38V (40V absolute maximum) input voltage range and
regulates the output voltage from 0.8V to 5.5V.
The RUN/SS pin provides both soft-start and enable
features. OPTI-LOOP compensation allows the transient
response to be optimized over a wide range of output ca-
pacitance and ESR values. Current foldback limits MOSFET
dissipation during short circuit conditions. Current foldback
functions are disabled during soft-start.
The LTC3854 has a minimum on-time at 75ns, making it
well suited for high step-down ratios. The strong onboard
MOSFET drivers allow the use of high power external
MOSFETs to produce output currents up to 20A.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
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 LTC3854E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls. The LTC3854I is guaranteed to meet
performance specifications over the full –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range.
Note 3:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation PD according to the following formulas:
LTC3854DDB: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 76°C/W)
LTC3854MSE: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 40°C/W)
Note 4:
The LTC3854 is tested in a feedback loop that servos V
ITH
to a
specified voltage and measures the resultant V
FB
.
Note 5:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency. See Applications Information.
Note 6:
Rise and fall times are measured using 10% and 90% levels. Delay
times are measured using 50% levels. Not 100% tested in production.
Note 7:
The minimum on-time condition is specified for an inductor peak-
to-peak ripple current 40% of I
MAX
(see Minimum On-Time Considerations
in the Applications Information section).
Note 8:
The LTC3854 maximum LDO current specification assumes there
is no external DC load current being pulled from INTV
