FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
The LT®1676 is a wide input range, high efficiency Buck
(step-down) switching regulator. The monolithic die in-
cludes all oscillator, control and protection circuitry. The
part can accept input voltages as high as 60V and contains
an output switch rated at 700mA peak current. Current
mode control offers excellent dynamic input supply rejec-
tion and short-circuit protection.

The LT1676 contains several features to enhance effi-
ciency. The internal control circuitry is normally powered
via the VCC pin, thereby minimizing power drawn directly

action of the LT1676 switch circuitry is also load depen-
dent. At medium to high loads, the output switch circuitry
maintains highrisetimeforgoodefficiency. Atlightloads,
rise time is deliberately reduced to avoid pulse skipping
behavior.
