FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
The LT®1956/LT1956-5 are 500kHz monolithic buck
switching regulators with an input voltage capability up to
60V. Ahighefficiency1.5A, 0.2Ωswitchisincludedonthe

Peak Switch Current Maintained Over
Full Duty Cycle Range
Special design techniques and a new high voltage process
achieve high efficiency over a wide input range. Efficiency
ismaintainedoverawideoutputcurrentrangebyusingthe
output to bias the circuitry and by utilizing a supply boost
capacitor to saturate the power switch. Patented circuitry
maintains peak switch current over the full duty cycle
range*.Ashutdownpinreducessupplycurrentto25µAand
the device can be externally synchronized from 580kHz to
700kHz with a logic level input.
