The LTC
®
1147 series are step-down switching regulator
controllers featuring automatic Burst Mode
TM
operation to
maintain high efficiencies at low output currents. These
devices drive an external P-channel power MOSFET at
switching frequencies exceeding 400kHz using a constant
off-time current mode architecture providing constant
ripple current in the inductor.
The operating current level is user-programmable via an
external current sense resistor. Wide input supply range
allows operation from 3.5V* to 14V (16V maximum).
Constant off-time architecture provides low dropout regu-
lation limited by only the R
DS(ON)
of the external MOSFET
and resistance of the inductor and current sense resistor.
The LTC1147 series incorporates automatic power saving
Burst Mode operation to reduce switching losses when
load currents drop below the level required for continuous
operation. Standby power is reduced to only 2mW at
V
IN
= 10V (at I
OUT
= 0). Load currents in Burst Mode
operation are typically 0mA to 300mA.
For applications where even higher efficiency is required,
refer to the LTC1148 data sheet and Application Note 54.

according to the following formulas:
LTC1147CN8-3.3/LTC1147CN8-5: T

Note 2:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency. See Applications Information.
Note 3:
In applications where R
SENSE
is placed at ground potential, the off-
time increases approximately 40%.
Note 4:
The LTC1147C is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
0°C to 70°C and is designed, characterized and expected to meet these
extended temperature limits, but is not tested at – 40°C and 85°C. The
LTC1147I is guaranteed to meet the extended temperature limits.
Note 5:
The LTC1147L/LTC1147L-3.3 allow operation to V
IN
= 3.5V.
Note 6:
The LTC1147L is tested with external feedback resistors resulting
in a nominal output voltage of 2.5V.
