LT3653
1.2A, HV Input Regulator
with Output Current Limit for
Battery Charger Applications
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
TheLT®3653isamonolithiccurrentmodePWMstep-down
regulatorwithprogrammableoutputcurrentlimit.Typically,
it is used with battery charger power path controllers to
pre-regulate the output and optimize the battery charger
efficiency. Output current limit provides accurate control
over system power dissipation.

The wide operating input voltage range of 7.5V to 30V
suits the LT3653 to a variety of input sources, including
unregulated 12V wall adapters, 24V industrial supplies,
Firewire and automotive power. Input overvoltage protec-
tion allows the LT3653 to handle 60V input transients.

The HVOK pin indicates that the internal bias supplies
are present and no faults have occurred (i.e., overtem-
perature and input overvoltage and undervoltage). The
LT3653 includes a 1.5MHz frequency oscillator, internal
compensation,andaninternalboostdiodetominimizethe

in an 8-lead (2mm × 3mm) package with exposed pads
for low thermal resistance.
