LTC1530
1530fa
The LTC
®
1530 is a high power synchronous switching
regulator controller optimized for 5V to 1.3V-3.5V output
applications. Its synchronous switching architecture drives
two external N-channel MOSFET devices to provide high
efficiency. The LTC1530 contains a precision trimmed
reference and feedback system that provides worst-case
output voltage regulation of ±2% over temperature, load
current and line voltage shifts. Current limit circuitry
senses the output current through the on-resistance of
the topside N-channel MOSFET, providing an adjustable
current limit without requiring an external low value sense
resistor.
The LTC1530 includes a fixed frequency PWM oscillator
that free runs at 300kHz, providing greater than 90%
efficiency in converter designs from 1A to 20A of output
current. Shutdown mode drops the LTC1530 supply cur-
rent to 45µA.
The LTC1530 is specified for commercial and industrial
temperature ranges and is available in the S0-8 package.
