DESCRIPTION
1.2A, Step-Down
Switching Regulator in
3mm × 3mm DFN
The LT
®
3505 is a current mode PWM step-down DC/DC
converter with an internal 1.4A power switch. The wide
operating input range of 3.6V to 36V (40V maximum)
makes the LT3505 ideal for regulating power from a wide
variety of sources, including unregulated wall transform-
ers, 24V industrial supplies and automotive batteries. The
oscillator can be programmed for high frequency operation
allowing the use of tiny, low cost external components or
it can be programmed for lower frequency operation to
maximize effi ciency.
Cycle-by-cycle current limit provides protection against
shorted outputs and soft-start eliminates input current
surge during start-up. The low current (<2µA) shutdown
mode provides output disconnect, enabling easy power
management in battery-powered systems.
