DescripTion
TheLT®3509isadual,currentmode,step-downswitching
regulator, with internal power switches each capable of
providing700mAoutputcurrent.Thisregulatorprovidesa

environments. It incorporates several protection features
including overvoltage lockout and cycle-by-cycle current
limit. Thermal shutdown provides additional protection.
Theloopcompensationcomponentsandtheboostdiodes
are integrated on-chip. Switching frequency is set by a
single external resistor. External synchronization is also
possible. The high maximum switching frequency allows
the use of small inductors and ceramic capacitors for low
ripple. Constant frequency operation above the AM band
avoidsinterferencewithradioreception,makingtheLT3509
well suited for automotive applications. Each regulator
has an independent shutdown and soft-start control pin.
When both converters are powered down, the common
circuitry enters a low current shutdown state.
