DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
3502/LT3502A are current mode PWM step-down
DC/DC converters with an internal 500mA power switch,
in a tiny 8-lead 2mm
×
2mm DFN package. The wide input
voltage range of 3V to 40V makes the LT3502/LT3502A
suitable for regulating power from a wide variety of sources,
including 24V industrial supplies and automotive batteries.
Its high operating frequency allows the use of tiny, low
cost inductors and capacitors, resulting in a very small
solution. Constant frequency above the AM band avoids
interfering with radio reception, making the LT3502A
particularly suitable for automotive applications.
Cycle-by-cycle current limit and frequency foldback pro-
vide protection against shorted outputs. Soft-start and
frequency foldback eliminates input current surge during
start-up. DA current sense provides further protection in
fault conditions. An internal boost diode reduces com-
ponent count.
