DescripTion
The
LT
®
1767
is a 1.25MHz monolithic buck switching
regulator. A high efficiency 1.5A, 0.22Ω switch is included
on the die together with all the control circuitry required
to complete a high frequency, current mode switching
regulator. Current mode control provides fast transient
response and excellent loop stability.
New design techniques achieve high efficiency at high
switching frequencies over a wide operating range. A
low dropout internal regulator maintains consistent per-
formance over a wide range of inputs from 24V systems
to Li-Ion batteries. An operating supply current of 1mA
improves efficiency, especially at lower output currents.
Shutdown reduces quiescent current to 6µA. Maximum
switch current remains constant at all duty cycles. Syn-
chronization allows an external logic level signal to increase
the internal oscillator from 1.5MHz to 2MHz.
The LT1767 is available in an 8-pin MSOP fused lead-frame
package and a low thermal resistance exposed pad package.
Full cycle-by-cycle current limit and thermal shutdown are
provided. High frequency operation allows the reduction
of input and output filtering components and permits the
use of chip inductors.

elecTrical characTerisTics
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 LT1767E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 125°C. Specifications over the – 40°C to 125°C operating
junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls.
Note 3:
Minimum input voltage is defined as the voltage where the internal
regulator enters lockout. Actual minimum input voltage to maintain a
regulated output will depend on output voltage and load current. See
Applications Information.
Note 4:
Current flows into the BOOST pin only during the on period of the
switch cycle.
