LTC1433/LTC1434
450mA, Low Noise
Current Mode Step-Down
DC/DC Converters
DESCRIPTION
The LTC
廬
1433/LTC1434 are monolithic pulse width modu-
lated step-down DC/DC converters. By utilizing current
mode switching techniques, they provide excellent AC and
DC load and line regulation. Both devices operate at a fixed
frequency with the LTC1434 phase-lockable to an external
clock signal.
Both devices incorporate two internal P-channel power
MOSFETs with a parallel combined resistance of 0.6鈩?(at
a supply of 10V). The Adaptive Power output stage selec-
tively drives one or both of the switches at frequencies up
to 700kHz to reduce switching losses and maintain high
efficiencies at low output currents.
The LTC1433/LTC1434 are capable of supplying up to
450mA of output current and boasts a
鹵2.4%
output
voltage accuracy. An internal low-battery detector has the
same level of accuracy as the output voltage. A power-on
reset timer (POR) is included which generates a signal
delayed by 65536/f
CLK
(300ms typ) after the output is
within 5% of the regulated output voltage.
Ideal for current sensitive applications, the devices draw
only 470碌A(chǔ) of quiescent current. In shutdown the devices
draw a mere 15碌A(chǔ). To further maximize the life of the
battery source, the internal P-channel MOSFET switch is
turned on continuously in dropout.
