LT3507A
Triple Monolithic Step-Down
Regulator with LDO
Description
Features
The LT®3507A is a triple, current mode, DC/DC converter
with internal power switches and a low dropout regulator.
Theswitchingconvertersarestep-downconverterscapable
of generating one 2.7A output and two 1.8A outputs. All
three converters are synchronized to a single oscillator.
The 2.7A output runs with opposite phase to the other two
converters, reducing input ripple current. Each regulator
has independent shutdown and soft-start circuits, and
generates a power good signal when its output is in regu-
lation, easing power supply sequencing and interfacing
with microcontrollers and DSPs.
