LT3958
High Input Voltage,
Boost, Flyback, SEPIC and
Inverting Converter
DescripTion
The
LT
®
3958
is a wide input range, current mode, DC/DC
converter which is capable of generating either positive
or negative output voltages. It can be configured as either
a boost, flyback, SEPIC or inverting converter. It features
an internal low side N-channel power MOSFET rated for
84V at 3.3A and driven from an internal regulated 7.2V
supply. The fixed frequency, current-mode architecture
results in stable operation over a wide range of supply
and output voltages.
The operating frequency of LT3958 can be set with an
external resistor over a 100kHz to 1MHz range, and can
be synchronized to an external clock using the SYNC pin.
A minimum operating supply voltage of 5V, and a low
shutdown quiescent current of less than 1µA, make the
LT3958 ideally suited for battery-powered systems.
The LT3958 features soft-start and frequency foldback
functions to limit inductor current during start-up.

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 LT3958E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from the 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
LT3958I is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range.
Note 3:
The LT3958 is tested in a feedback loop which servos V
FBX
to the
reference voltages (1.6V and –0.8V) with the VC pin forced to 1.3V.
Note 4:
FBX overvoltage lockout is measured at V
FBX(OVERVOLTAGE)
relative
to regulated V
FBX(REG)
.
Note 5:
For 5V < V
IN
< 6V, the EN/UVLO pin must not exceed V
IN
.
Note 6:
EN/UVLO = 1.33V when V
IN
= 5V.
