DESCRIPTION
The LTC3813 is a synchronous step-up switching regulator
controller that can generate output voltages up to 100V.
The LTC3813 uses a constant off-time peak current control
architecture with accurate cycle-by-cycle current limit,
without requiring a sense resistor.
A precise internal reference provides ±0.5% DC accuracy.
A high bandwidth (25MHz) error amplifier provides very
fast line and load transient response. Large 1Ω gate drivers
allow the LTC3813 to drive multiple MOSFETs for higher
current applications. The operating frequency is selected
by an external resistor and is compensated for variations
in V
IN
and can also be synchronized to an external clock
for switching-noise sensitive applications. A shutdown pin
allows the LTC3813 to be turned off, reducing the supply
current to 240μA.

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 LTC3813E 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. The LTC3813I is guaranteed to meet
performance specifications over the full –40°C to 125°C operating
temperature range.
Note 3:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation P
D
according to the following formula:
LTC3813: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 100°C/W)
Note 4:
The LTC3813 is tested in a feedback loop that servos V
FB
to the
reference voltage with the I
TH
pin forced to a voltage between 1V and 2V.
Note 5:
The dynamic input supply current is higher due to the power
MOSFET gate charging being delivered at the switching frequency
(Q
G
• f
SW
).
Note 6:
Guaranteed by design. Not subject to test.
Note 7:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 8:
I
CC
is the sum of current into NDRV and INTV
CC
