Monolithic 3A, 1.25MHz
Step-Down Switching Regulator
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LT®1765 is a 1.25MHz monolithic buck switching
regulator. A high efficiency 3A, 0.09Ω switch is included
on the die together with all the control circuitry required
to construct a high frequency, current mode switching
regulator. Current mode control provides fast transient
response and excellent loop stability.

Uses Low Profile Surface Mount Components
New design techniques achieve high efficiency at high
switching frequencies over a wide operating voltage
range. A low dropout internal regulator maintains con-
sistent performance over a wide range of inputs from
24V systems to Li-Ion batteries. An operating supply
current of 1mA improves efficiency, especially at lower
output currents. Shutdown reduces quiescent current to
15μA. Maximum switch current remains constant at all
duty cycles. Synchronization allows an external logic level
signal to increase the internal oscillator into the range of
1.6MHz to 2MHz.
