DESCRIPTION
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 efficiency.
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.

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 LT3505E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls. The LT3505I specifications are
guaranteed over the –40°C to 125°C temperature range.
Note 3:
Current limit guaranteed by design and/or correlation to static test.
Slope compensation reduces current limit at higher duty cycle.
Note 4:
Current flows out of pin.
Note 5:
Current flows into pin.
