DESCRIPTION
The LM3488 is a versatile Low-Side N-FET high

•
LM3488Q is AEC-Q100 qualified and
performance controller for switching regulators. It is
suitable for use in topologies requiring low side FET,
such as boost, flyback, or SEPIC. Moreover, the
LM3488 can be operated at extremely high switching
frequency in order to reduce the overall solution size.
The switching frequency of LM3488 can be adjusted
to any value between 100kHz and 1MHz by using a
single external resistor or by synchronizing it to an
external clock. Current mode control provides
superior bandwidth and transient response, besides
cycle-by-cycle current limiting. Output current can be
programmed with a single external resistor.

The LM3488 has built in features such as thermal
shutdown, short-circuit protection and over voltage
protection. Power saving shutdown mode reduces the
total supply current to 5µA and allows power supply
sequencing. Internal soft-start limits the inrush current
at start-up.
