FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®3704 is a wide input range, current mode,
positive-to-negative DC/DC controller that drives an
N-channel power MOSFET and requires very few external
components.Intendedforlowtohighpowerapplications,
it eliminates the need for a current sense resistor by
utilizingthepowerMOSFET’son-resistance,therebymaxi-
mizing efficiency.

High Maximum Duty Cycle (Typ 92%)
±1% Internal Voltage Reference
±2% RUN Pin Threshold with 100mV Hysteresis
Micropower Shutdown: IQ = 10μA
The IC’s operating frequency can be set with an external
resistorovera50kHzto1MHzrange, andcanbesynchro-
nized to an external clock using the MODE/SYNC pin.
Burst Mode operation at light loads, a low minimum
operating supply voltage of 2.5V and a low shutdown
quiescent current of 10μA make the LTC3704 ideally
suited for battery-operated systems.
Programmable Switching Frequency
(50kHz to 1MHz) with One External Resistor
Synchronizable to an External Clock Up to 1.3 × fOSC
User-Controlled Pulse Skip or Burst Mode® Operation
Internal 5.2V Low Dropout Voltage Regulator
Capable of Operating with a Sense Resistor for High
Output Voltage Applications (VDS >36V)

For applications requiring constant frequency operation,
the Burst Mode operation feature can be defeated using
the MODE/SYNC pin. Higher than 36V switch voltage
applicationsarepossiblewiththeLTC3704byconnecting
the SENSE pin to a resistor in the source of the power
MOSFET.
