switching regulator controller targeted for high power
applications. It drives all N-channel power MOSFETs. The
controlled on-time valley current mode architecture allows
for both fast transient response and constant frequency
switching in steady-state operation, independent of V
IN
,
V
OUT
and load current.
Differential output voltage sensing along with a precision
internal reference combine to offer ±0.67% output regula-
tion and the ability to correct for up to ±500mV variations
in the output terminals due to line losses. The operating
frequency can be programmed from 200kHz to 2MHz with
an external resistor and can be synchronized to an external
clock for noise and EMI sensitive applications.
Very low t
ON
and t
OFF
times allow for near 0% and near
100% duty cycles, respectively. Programmable soft-start or
output voltage tracking is available. Safety features include
output overvoltage protection, programmable current limit
with foldback, and a power good output signal.

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 junction temperature (T
J
in °C) is calculated from the ambient
temperature (T
A
in °C) and power dissipation (P
D
in Watts) as follows:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
•
θ
JA
)
where
θ
JA
(in °C/W) is the package thermal impedance provided in the Pin
Configuration section for the corresponding package.
Note 3:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during momentary overload conditions. The maximum
rated junction temperature will be exceeded when this protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified absolute maximum operating
junction temperature may impair device reliability or permanently damage
the device.
Note 4:
The LTC3833 is tested under pulsed loading conditions such
that T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTC3833E is guaranteed to meet specifications from
0°C to 85°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
LTC3833I is guaranteed to meet specifications over the full –40°C to 125°C
operating junction temperature range. Note that the maximum ambient
temperature consistent with these specifications is determined by specific
operating conditions in conjunction with board layout, the rated package
thermal impedance and other environmental factors.
Note 5:
The LTC3833 is tested in a feedback loop that adjusts
V
FB
= V
OSNS+
– V
OSNS–
to achieve a specified error amplifier output voltage
(on ITH pin). The specification at 85°C is not tested in production. This
specification is assured by design, characterization and correlation to
