regulator controller that can directly step-down voltages
from up to 60V, making it ideal for telecom and automo-
tive applications. The LTC3810-5 uses a constant on-time
valley current control architecture to deliver very low duty
cycles 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 LTC3810-5 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 LTC3810-5 to be turned off, reducing the
supply current to 240μA.
Integrated bias control generates gate drive power from
the input supply during start-up or when an output short-
circuit occurs, with the addition of a small external SOT23
MOSFET. When in regulation, power is derived from the
output for higher efficiency.

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 LTC3810E-5 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 LTC3810I-5 is guaranteed to meet
performance specifications over the full –40°C to 125°C operating
temperature range.
