DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
1933 is a current mode PWM step-down DC/DC
converter with an internal 0.75A power switch, packaged
in a tiny 6-lead SOT-23. The wide input range of 3.6V
to 36V makes the LT1933 suitable for regulating power
from a wide variety of sources, including unregulated wall
transformers, 24V industrial supplies and automotive
batteries. Its high operating frequency allows the use of
tiny, low cost inductors and ceramic capacitors, resulting
in low, predictable output ripple.
Cycle-by-cycle current limit provides protection against
shorted outputs, and soft-start eliminates input current
surge during start up. The low current (<2μA) shutdown
provides output disconnect, enabling easy power manage-
ment in battery-powered systems.

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 LT1933E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls. The LT1933I specifications are
guaranteed over the –40°C to 125°C temperature range. The LT1933H
specifications are guaranteed over the –40°C to 150°C temperature range.
Note 3:
Current limit guaranteed by design and/or correlation to static test.
Slope compensation reduces current limit at higher duty cycle.
Note 4:
Current flows out of pin.
Note 5:
Current flows into pin.
