LT3957
Boost, Flyback, SEPIC and
Inverting Converter
with 5A, 40V Switch
DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
3957 is a wide input range, current mode DC/DC
converter which is capable of generating either positive
or negative output voltages. It can be configured as either
a boost, flyback, SEPIC or inverting converter. It features
an internal low side N-channel power MOSFET rated for
40V at 5A and driven from an internal regulated 5.2V
supply. The fixed frequency, current-mode architecture
results in stable operation over a wide range of supply
and output voltages.
The operating frequency of LT3957 can be set with an
external resistor over a 100kHz to 1MHz range, and can
be synchronized to an external clock using the SYNC pin.
A minimum operating supply voltage of 3V, and a low
shutdown quiescent current of less than 1μA, make the
LT3957 ideally suited for battery-powered systems.
The LT3957 features soft-start and frequency foldback
functions to limit inductor current during start-up.

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 LT3957E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from the 0°C to 125°C operating 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 LT3957I is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range.
Note 3:
The LT3957 is tested in a feedback loop which servos V
FBX
to the
reference voltages (1.6V and –0.8V) with the VC pin forced to 1.3V.
Note 4:
FBX overvoltage lockout is measured at V
FBX(OVERVOLTAGE)
relative
to regulated V
FBX(REG)
.
Note 5:
For 3V ≤ V
IN
< 6V, the EN/UVLO pin must not exceed V
IN
.
Note 6:
EN/UVLO = 1.33V when V
IN
= 3V.
