Typical Application

Description

The LT®1767 is a 1.25MHz monolithic buck switching regulator. A high efficiency 1.5A, 0.22Ω switch is included on the die together with all the control circuitry required to complete a high frequency, current mode switching regulator. Current mode control provides fast transient response and excellent loop stability.

New design techniques achieve high efficiency at high switching frequencies over a wide operating range. A low dropout internal regulator maintains consistent performance over a wide range of inputs from 24V systems to Li-Ion batteries. An operating supply current of 1mA improves efficiency, especially at lower output currents. Shutdown reduces quiescent current to 6μA. Maximum switch current remains constant at all duty cycles. Synchronization allows an external logic level signal to increase the internal oscillator from 1.5MHz to 2MHz.

The LT1767 is available in an 8-pin MSOP fused lead-frame package and a low thermal resistance exposed pad package. Full cycle-by-cycle current limit and thermal shutdown are provided. High frequency operation allows the reduction of input and output filtering components and permits the use of chip inductors.
