The LT
®
3724 is a DC/DC controller used for medium
power, low part count, low cost, high efficiency supplies.
It offers a wide 4V-60V input range (7.5V minimum startup
voltage) and can implement step-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
control for fast line and load transient response; a gate
driver 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, mini-
mizes overshoot and facilitates supply sequencing.
The LT3724 is available in a 16-lead thermally enhanced
TSSOP package.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LT3724 includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 3:
The LT3724E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 125°C junction temperature. Specifications over the – 40°C to
125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The
LT3724I is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range.
Note 4:
V
IN
voltages below the start-up threshold (7.5V) are only
supported when the V
CC
is externally driven above 6.5V.
Note 5:
Operating range is dictated by MOSFET absolute maximum V
GS
.
Note 6:
Supply current specification does not include switch drive
currents. Actual supply currents will be higher.
Note 7:
DC measurement of gate drive output “ON” voltage is typically
8.6V. Internal dynamic bootstrap operation yields typical gate “ON”
voltages of 9.8V during standard switching operation. Standard operation
gate “ON” voltage is not tested but guaranteed by design.
