The LT
®
3503 is a current mode PWM step-down DC/DC
converter with an internal 1.45A power switch. The wide
operating input range of 3.6V to 20V makes the LT3503
ideal for regulating power from a wide variety of sources.
Its high operating frequency allows the use of tiny, low
cost inductors and ceramic capacitors, resulting in low,
predictable output ripple.
Cycle-by-cycle current limit provides protection against
shorted outputs and soft-start eliminates input current
surge during start-up. The low current (<2µA) shutdown
mode provides output disconnect, enabling easy power
management in battery-powered systems.

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 LT3503E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
Note 3:
Current limit guaranteed by design and/or correlation to static test.
Slope compensation reduces current limit at higher duty cycle.
Note 4:
Current flows out of pin.
Note 5:
Current flows into pin.
