TYPICAL APPLICATION
DESCRIPTION
Constant Frequency
Current Mode Step-Down
DC/DC Controller in SOT-23
The LTC
®
1772B is a constant frequency current mode
step-down DC/DC controller providing excellent AC and
DC load and line regulation. The device incorporates an
accurate undervoltage lockout feature that shuts down the
LTC1772B when the input voltage falls below 2.0V.
The LTC1772B provides a ±2.5% output voltage accuracy
and consumes only 270μA of quiescent current. In shut-
down, the device draws a mere 8μA.
To further maximize the life of a battery source, the
external P-channel MOSFET is turned on continuously
in dropout (100% duty cycle). High constant operating
frequency of 550kHz allows the use of a small external
inductor.
The LTC1772B is available in a small footprint 6-lead
TSOT-23.
For a Burst Mode operation enabled version of the
LTC1772B, please refer to the LTC1772 data sheet.
