The LT
®
3477 is a current mode, 3A DC/DC step-up con-
verter with dual rail-to-rail current sense amplifi ers and an
internal 3A, 42V switch. It combines a traditional voltage
feedback loop and two unique current feedback loops to
operate as a constant-current, constant-voltage source.
Both current sense voltages are set at 100mV and can be
adjusted independently using the I
ADJ1
and I
ADJ2
pins. Ef-

The LT3477 features a programmable soft-start function
to limit inductor current during start-up. Both inputs of
the error amplifi er are available externally allowing posi-
tive and negative output voltages (boost, inverting, SEPIC,
Flyback). The switching frequency is programmable from
200kHz to 3.5MHz through an external resistor.
Available in thermally enhanced 20-pin (4mm × 4mm)
QFN and 20-pin TSSOP packages, the LT3477 provides a
complete solution for both constant-voltage and constant-
current applications.
