FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®1735 is a synchronous step-down switching
regulator controller that drives external N-channel power
MOSFETs using a fixed frequency architecture. Burst
ModeTM operation provides high efficiency at low load
currents. The precision 0.8V reference is compatible with
future generation microprocessors. OPTI-LOOP compen-
sation allows the transient response to be optimized over
a wide range of output capacitance and ESR values.

Dual N-Channel MOSFET Synchronous Drive
Wide VIN Range: 4V to 36V Operation
VOUT Range: 0.8V to 6V
Internal Current Foldback
Output Overvoltage Crowbar Protection
Latched Short-Circuit Shutdown Timer
with Defeat Option
The operating frequency (synchronizable up to 500kHz) is
set by an external capacitor allowing maximum flexibility
in optimizing efficiency. A forced continuous control pin
reduces noise and RF interference and can assist second-
ary winding regulation by disabling Burst Mode operation
when the main output is lightly loaded.

Remote Output Voltage Sense
Power Good Output (LTC1735F Only)
Logic Controlled Micropower Shutdown: IQ < 25µA
LTC1435 Pin Compatible with
Protection features include internal foldback current lim-
iting, output overvoltage crowbar and optional short-
circuit shutdown. Soft-start is provided by an external
capacitor that can be used to properly sequence supplies.
The operating current level is user-programmable via an
external current sense resistor. Wide input supply range
allows operation from 4V to 30V (36V maximum).
