Operation to 48V Input Voltage
The LTC®1149 series is a family of synchronous step-
down switching regulator controllers featuring automatic
Burst ModeTM operation to maintain high efficiencies at
low output currents. These devices drive external comple-
mentary power MOSFETs at switching frequencies up
to 250kHz using a constant off-time current-mode archi-
tecture.
Ultrahigh Efficiency: Up to 95%
Current Mode Operation for Excellent Line and
Load Transient Response
High Efficiency Maintained over Wide Current Range
Logic-Controlled Micropower Shutdown
Short-Circuit Protection

Very Low Dropout Operation: 100% Duty Cycle
Synchronous FET Switching for High Efficiency
Adaptive Nonoverlap Gate Drives
Special onboard regulation and level-shift circuitry allow
operation at input voltages from dropout to 48V (60V
absolute max). The constant off-time architecture main-
tains constant ripple current in the inductor, easing the
design of wide input range converters. Current mode
operation provides excellent line and load transient
response. The operating current level is user-program-
mable via an external current sense resistor.

The LTC1149 series incorporates automatic power saving
Burst Modeoperation when load currents drop below the
level required for continuous operation. Standby power is
reduced to only about 8mW at VIN = 12V. In shutdown,
both MOSFETs are turned off.
