FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
The LT®3477 is a current mode, 3A DC/DC step-up con-
verter with dual rail-to-rail current sense amplifiers and an
internal 3A, 42V switch. It combines a traditional voltage
feedback loop and two unique current feedback loops to
operate as a constant-current, constant-voltage source.
