ing regulator controller. It drives a P-channel power
MOSFET switch allowing 100% duty cycle operation. It
enables a low part count, simple, and robust solution for
high reliability, high voltage applications.
The LTC3894 operates over a wide input voltage range
from 4.5V to 150V and can regulate output voltages
from 0.8V to 60V. It offers excellent light load efficiency,
drawing only 9μA quiescent current while regulating the
output voltage with no load. Its peak current mode, con-
stant frequency architecture provides for good control of
switching frequency and output current limit. The switch-
ing frequency can be programmed from 50kHz to 850kHz
with an external resistor and can be synchronized to an
external clock from 75kHz to 800kHz.
The LTC3894 offers programmable output voltage soft-
start or tracking. Safety features include overvoltage,
overcurrent and overtemperature protection with a power
good output monitor with adjustable threshold.
The LTC3894 is available in a thermally enhanced 20-Pin
TSSOP package with leads removed to accommodate
high voltage creepage and clearance requirements.

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 LTC3894 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTC3894E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 125°C operating
junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls. The LTC3894I is guaranteed
over the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range. Note that
the maximum ambient temperature consistent with these specifications
is determined by specific operating conditions in conjunction with board
layout, the rated package thermal impedance and other environmental
factors. High temperatures degrade operating lifetimes; operating lifetime
is derated for junction temperatures greater than 125ºC. 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
= 38°C/W for the TSSOP package.
Note 3:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during momentary overload conditions. The maximum
rated junction temperature will be exceeded when this protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified absolute maximum operating
junction temperature may impair device reliability or permanently damage
the device.
Note 4:
The minimum input supply operating range is dependent on the
UVLO thresholds as determined by the DRVUV/EXTG pin setting.
Note 5:
The DC supply current is measured when the LTC3894 is not
switching. Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency.
Note 6:

Note 7:
The total input supply current in Burst Mode is the total current
drawn from input supply as measured in the Typical Application circuit on
page 1 and Figure 13 on page 30 with no load current. The specification
is not tested in production.
Note 8:
The LTC3894 is tested in a feedback loop that servos the error
amplifier output voltage (on ITH pin) to a specified voltage and measures
the resultant V
FB
voltage.
Note 9:
Positive I

current flows into the CAP pin and discharges the
capacitor between the V
IN
and CAP pins.
Note 10:
The minimum on-time condition is specified for an inductor
peak-to-peak ripple current > 40% of I
MAX
.
Note 11:
The absolute maximum rating for TRACK/SS pin is 2.8V when
the pin is driven externally. When the pin is not driven, it may be pulled
