The LTC
®
3778 is a synchronous step-down switching
regulator controller for computer memory, automobile
and other DC/DC power supplies. The controller uses a
valley current control architecture to deliver very low duty
cycles without requiring a sense resistor. Operating fre-
quency is selected by an external resistor and is compen-
sated for variations in V
IN
and V
OUT
.
Discontinuous mode operation provides high efficiency
operation at light loads. A forced continuous control pin
reduces noise and RF interference, and can assist second-
ary winding regulation when the main output is lightly
loaded. SENSE
+
and SENSE
–
pins provide true Kelvin
sensing across the optional sense resistor or the
sychronous MOSFET.
Fault protection is provided by internal foldback current
limiting, an output overvoltage comparator, optional short-
circuit shutdown timer and input undervoltage lockout.
Soft-start capability for supply sequencing is accom-
plished using an external timing capacitor. The regulator
current limit level is user programmable. Wide supply
range allows operation from 4V to 36V at the input and
from 0.6V up to (0.9)V
IN
at the output.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life of
a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation P
D
as follows:
LTC3778E: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 110°C/W)
Note 3:
The LTC3778 is tested in a feedback loop that adjusts V
FB
to achieve
a specified error amplifier output voltage (I
TH
).
Note 4:
The LTC3778E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications from
0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating temperature
range are assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical
process controls.
