DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
1339 is a high power synchronous current mode
switching regulator controller. The IC drives dual
N-channel MOSFETs to create a single IC solution for high
power DC/DC converters in applications up to 60V.
The LT1339 incorporates programmable average current
limiting, allowing accurate limiting of DC load current
independent of inductor ripple current. The IC also incor-
porates user-adjustable slope compensation for minimi-
zation of magnetics at duty cycles up to 90%.
The LT1339 timing oscillator operating frequency is pro-
grammable and can be synchronized up to 150kHz. Mini-
mum off-time operation provides main switch protection.
The IC also incorporates a soft start feature that is gated by
both shutdown and undervoltage lockout conditions.
An output phase reversal pin allows flexibility in configu-
ration of converter types, including inverting and negative
topologies.

Note 1:
Absolute maximum ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
Supply current specification does not include external FET gate
charge currents. Actual supply currents will be higher and vary with
operating frequency, operating voltages and the type of external FETs
used. See Application Information section.
