DESCRIPTION
The LTC3814-5 is a synchronous step-up switching regu-
lator controller that can generate output voltages up to
60V. The LTC3814-5 uses a constant off-time peak current
control architecture to deliver very high 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 driv-
ers allow the LTC3814-5 to drive large power MOSFETs
for higher current applications. The operating frequency
is selected by an external resistor and is compensated for
variations in V
IN
. A shutdown pin allows the LTC3814-5 to
be turned off reducing the supply current to <230μA.

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 LTC3814E-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 LTC3814I-5 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:
LTC3814-5: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 38°C/W)
Note 4:
The LTC3814-5 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
.
