RH3845MK
High Voltage Synchronous
Step-Down Controller
DESCRIPTION
The RH3845MK is a high voltage, synchronous, current
mode controller for medium to high power, high efficiency
supplies. It offers a wide 4V to 60V input range (7.5V
minimum start-up voltage). An onboard regulator sim-
plifies the biasing requirements by providing IC power
directly from V
IN
.
Additional features include an adjustable fixed operating
frequency synchronizable to an external clock for noise
sensitive applications, gate drivers capable of driving large
N-channel MOSFETs, a precision undervoltage lockout,
low shutdown current, short-circuit protection, and a
programmable soft-start.

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.
Note 2:
V

voltages below the start-up threshold (7.5V) are only
supported when the V

Note 3:
Supply current specification does not include switch drive
currents. Actual supply currents will be higher.
Note 4:
Connect the MODE pin to V

PDA Test Notes
The PDA is specified as 5% based on failures from Group A, Subgroup 1,
tests after cooldown as the final electrical test in accordance with method
5004 of MIL-STD-883. The verified failures of Group A, Subgroup 1, after
burn-in divided by the total number of devices submitted for burn-in in that
lot shall be used to determine the percent for the lot.
Linear Technology Corporation reserves the right to test to tighter limits
than those given.
