FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
The LT®3435 is a 500kHz monolithic buck switching
regulator that accepts input voltages up to 60V. A high
efficiency3A,0.1Ωswitchisincludedonthediealongwith
all the necessary oscillator, control and logic circuitry.
Current mode topology is used for fast transient response
and good loop stability.

Innovative design techniques along with a new high volt-
age process achieve high efficiency over a wide input
range. Efficiency is maintained over a wide output current
rangebyemployingBurstModeoperationatlowcurrents,
utilizing the output to bias the internal circuitry, and by
using a supply boost capacitor to fully saturate the power
switch. Patented circuitry maintains peak switch current
over the full duty cycle range.* Shutdown reduces input
supply current to less than 1µA. External synchronization
canbeimplementedbydrivingtheSYNCpinwithlogic-level
inputs. A single capacitor from the CSS pin to the output
providesacontrolledoutputvoltageramp(soft-start).The
device also has a power good flag with a programmable
threshold and time-out and thermal shutdown protection.
