DescripTion
The
LT
®
3976
is an adjustable frequency monolithic buck
switching regulator that accepts a wide input voltage range
up to 40V. Low quiescent current design consumes only
3.3µA of supply current while regulating with no load. Low
ripple Burst Mode operation maintains high efficiency at
low output currents while keeping the output ripple below
15mV in a typical application. The LT3976 can supply up
to 5A of load current and has current limit foldback to
limit power dissipation during short-circuit. A low dropout
voltage of 500mV is maintained when the input voltage
drops below the programmed output voltage, such as
during automotive cold crank.
An internally compensated current mode topology is used
for fast transient response and good loop stability. A high
efficiency 75mΩ switch is included on the die along with a
boost Schottky diode. An accurate 1.02V threshold enable
pin can be driven directly from a microcontroller or used
as a programmable undervoltage lockout. A capacitor on
the SS pin provides a controlled inrush current (soft-start).
A power good flag signals when V
OUT
reaches 91.6% of
the programmed output voltage. The LT3976 is available
in small 16-lead MSOP and 24-lead 3mm × 5mm QFN
packages with exposed pad for low thermal resistance.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LT3976E 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
LT3976I is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range. The LT3976H is guaranteed over the full –40°C to
150°C operating junction temperature range. High junction temperatures
degrade operating lifetimes. Operating lifetime is derated at junction
temperatures greater than 125°C. The junction temperature (T
J
, in °C) is
calculated from the ambient temperature (T
A
, in °C) and power dissipation
(P
D
, in Watts) according to the formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
•
θ
JA
)
where
θ
JA
(in °C/W) is the package thermal impedance.

elecTrical characTerisTics
Note 3:
Minimum input voltage depends on application circuit.
Note 4:
The LT3976 contains circuitry that extends the maximum duty
cycle if there is sufficient voltage across the boost capacitor. See the
Application Information section for more details.
Note 5:
This is the minimum voltage across the boost capacitor needed to
guarantee full saturation of the switch.
Note 6:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed the maximum operating junction temperature
when overtemperature protection is active. Continuous operation above
the specified maximum operating junction temperature may impair device
reliability or permanently damage the device.
