FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
The LT®3433 is a 200kHz fixed-frequency current mode
switching regulator that provides both step-up and step-
down regulation using a single inductor. The IC operates
over a 4V to 60V input voltage range making it suitable for
use in various wide input voltage range applications such
as automotive electronics that must withstand both load
dump and cold crank conditions.
■
Automatic Step-Up and Step-Down Conversion
■
Uses a Single Inductor
■
Wide 4V to 60V Input Voltage Range
■
VOUT from 3.3V to 20V
■
Dual Internal 500mA Switches
■
100µA No-Load Quiescent Current
■
Low Current Shutdown
■
±1% Output Voltage Accuracy
Internal control circuitry monitors system conditions and
converts from single switch buck operation to dual switch
bridged operation when required, seamlessly changing
between step-down and step-up voltage conversion.
Optional Burst Mode® operation reduces no-load quies-
cent current to 100µA and maintains high efficiencies with
light loads.
