FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
TheLT®3724isaDC/DCcontrollerusedformediumpower,
low part count, low cost, high efficiency supplies. It of-
fers a wide 4V-60V input range (7.5V minimum startup
voltage)andcanimplementstep-down, step-up, inverting
and SEPIC topologies.

The LT3724 includes Burst Mode operation, which re-
duces quiescent current below 100μA and maintains
high efficiency at light loads. An internal high voltage bias
regulator allows for simple biasing and can be back driven
to increase efficiency.

Additional features include fixed frequency current mode
controlforfastlineandloadtransientresponse;agatedriver
capable of driving large N-channel MOSFETs; a precision
undervoltage lockout function; 10μA shutdown current;
short-circuit protection; and a programmable soft-start
function that directly controls output voltage slew rates at
startup which limits inrush current, minimizes overshoot
and facilitates supply sequencing.
