The LT
®
1940 is a dual current mode PWM step-down
DC/DC converter with internal 2A power switches. Both con-
verters are synchronized to a single 1.1MHz oscillator and
run with opposite phases, reducing input ripple current. The
output voltages are set with external resistor dividers, and
each regulator has independent shutdown and soft-start
circuits. Each regulator generates a power-good signal
when its output is in regulation, easing power supply se-
quencing and interfacing with microcontrollers and DSPs.
The LT1940’s 1.1MHz switching frequency allows the use
of tiny inductors and capacitors, resulting in a very small
dual 1.4A output solution. Constant frequency and ceramic
capacitors combine to produce low, predictable output
ripple voltage. With its wide input range of 3.6V to 25V, the
LT1940 regulates a wide variety of power sources, from
4-cell batteries and 5V logic rails to unregulated wall trans-
formers, lead acid batteries and distributed-power supplies.
The LT1940L is intended to operate from regulated 5V
supplies. A current mode PWM architecture provides fast
transient response with simple compensation components
and cycle-by-cycle current limiting. Frequency foldback and
thermal shutdown provide additional protection.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LT1940E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 70°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 is guaranteed by design and/or correlation to static
test. Slope compensation reduces current limit at high duty cycle.
Note 4:
This is the minimum voltage across the boost capacitor needed to
guarantee full saturation of the internal power switch.

BOOST1, BOOST2 (Pins 1, 8):
The BOOST pins are used
to provide drive voltages, higher than the input voltage, to
the internal bipolar NPN power switches.Tie through a
diode from V
OUT
or from V
IN
.
SW1, SW2 (Pins 2, 7):
The SW pins are the outputs of the
internal power switches. Connect these pins to the induc-
tors, catch diodes and boost capacitors.
V
IN
(Pins 3, 4, 5, 6):
The V
IN
pins supply current to the
LT1940’s internal regulator and to the internal power
switches. These pins must be tied to the same source, and
must be locally bypassed.
FB1, FB2 (Pins 9, 16):
The LT1940 regulates each feed-
back pin to 1.25V. Connect the feedback resistor divider
taps to these pins.
V
C1
, V
C2
(Pins 10, 15):
The V
C
pins are the outputs of the
internal error amps. The voltages on these pins control the
peak switch currents. These pins are normally used to
compensate the control loops, but can also be used to
override the loops. Pull these pins to ground with an open
drain to shut down each switching regulator.
PG1, PG2 (Pins 11, 14):
The Power Good pins are the
open collector outputs of an internal comparator. PG
remains low until the FB pin is within 10% of the final
regulation voltage. As well as indicating output regulation,
the PG pins can be used to sequence the two switching
regulators. These pins can be left unconnected. The PG
outputs are valid when V
IN
is greater than 2.4V and either
of the RUN/SS pins is high. The PG comparators are
disabled in shutdown.
RUN/SS1, RUN/SS2 (Pins 12, 13):
The RUN/SS pins are
use to shut down the individual switching regulators and
the internal bias circuits. They also provide a soft-start
function. To shut down either regulator, pull the RUN/SS
pin to ground with an open drain or collector. Tie a
capacitor from these pins to ground to limit switch current
during start-up. If neither feature is used, leave these pins
unconnected.
GND (Pin 17):
The Exposed Pad of the package provides
both electrical contact to ground and good thermal con-
tact to the printed circuit board. The Exposed Pad must be
soldered to the circuit board for proper operation.
