The LT
®
1738 is a switching regulator controller designed
to lower conducted and radiated electromagnetic interfer-
ence (EMI). Ultralow noise and EMI are achieved by
controlling the voltage and current slew rates of an exter-
nal N-channel MOSFET switch. Current and voltage slew
rates can be independently set to optimize harmonic
content of the switching waveforms vs efficiency. The
LT1738 can reduce high frequency harmonic power by as
much as 40dB with only minor losses in efficiency.
The LT1738 utilizes a current mode architecture opti-
mized for single switch topologies such as boost, flyback
and Cuk. The IC includes gate drive and all necessary
oscillator, control and protection circuitry. Unique error
amp circuitry can regulate both positive and negative
voltages. The internal oscillator may be synchronized to
an external clock for more accurate placement of switch-
ing harmonics.
Protection features include gate drive lockout for low V
IN
,
soft-start, output current limit, short-circuit current limit-
ing, gate drive overvoltage clamp and input supply
undervoltage lockout.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the
life of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
Supply current specification includes loads on each gate as in
Figure 1a. Actual supply currents vary with operating frequency, operating
voltages, V5 load, slew rates and type of external FET.
Note 3:
The LT1738E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications from –40°C to 125°C are assured by
design, characterization and correlation with statistical process
controls.The LT1738I is guaranteed and tested to meet performance
specifications from – 40°C to 125°C.
Note 4:
Output gate drive is enabled at this voltage. The GCL voltage will
also determine driver activity.
Note 5:
Gate drive is ensured to be on when V
IN
is greater than max value.
