LT3435
High Voltage 3A, 500kHz
Step-Down Switching Regulator
with 100µA Quiescent Current
DESCRIPTIO
The LT
®
3435 is a 500kHz monolithic buck switching
regulator that accepts input voltages up to 60V. A high
efficiency 3A, 0.1Ω switch is included on the die along with
all the necessary oscillator, control and logic circuitry.
Current mode topology is used for fast transient response
and good loop stability.
Innovative design techniques along with a new high volt-
age process achieve high efficiency over a wide input
range. Efficiency is maintained over a wide output current
range by employing Burst Mode operation at low currents,
utilizing the output to bias the internal circuitry, and by
using a supply boost capacitor to fully saturate the power
switch. Patented circuitry maintains peak switch current
over the full duty cycle range.* Shutdown reduces input
supply current to less than 1µA. External synchronization
can be implemented by driving the SYNC pin with logic-level
inputs. A single capacitor from the C
SS
pin to the output
provides a controlled output voltage ramp (soft-start). The
device also has a power good flag with a programmable
threshold and time-out and thermal shutdown protection.
The LT3435 is available in a 16-pin TSSOP package with an
exposed pad leadframe for low thermal resistance.

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 LT3435EFE is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 125°C junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C to
125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The
LT3435IFE is guaranteed and tested over the full –40°C to 125°C
operating junction temperature range.
Note 3:
Minimum input voltage is defined as the voltage where switching
starts. Actual minimum input voltage to maintain a regulated output will
depend upon output voltage and load current. See Applications
Information.
Note 4:
Supply input current is the quiescent current drawn by the input
pin. Its typical value depends on the voltage on the BIAS pin and operating
state of the LT3435. With the BIAS pin at 0V, all of the quiescent current
required to operate the LT3435 will be provided by the V
IN
pin. With the
BIAS voltage above its minimum input voltage, a portion of the total
quiescent current will be supplied by the BIAS pin. Supply sleep current is
defined as the quiescent current during the “sleep” portion of Burst Mode
operation. See Applications Information for determining application supply
currents.
Note 5:
Minimum BIAS voltage is the voltage on the BIAS pin when I
BIAS
is
sourced into the pin.
Note 6:
This is the minimum voltage across the boost capacitor needed to
guarantee full saturation of the internal power switch.
Note 7:
Boost current is the current flowing into the BOOST pin with the
pin held 3.3V above input voltage. It flows only during switch on time.
Note 8:
Gain is measured with a V
C
swing from 1.15V to 750mV.
Note 9:
Switch on resistance is calculated by dividing V
IN
to SW voltage by
the forced current (3A). See Typical Performance Characteristics for the
graph of switch voltage at other currents.
Note 10:
The C
SS
threshold is defined as the value of current sourced into
the C
SS
pin which results in an increase in sink current from the V
C
pin.
See the Soft-Start section in Applications Information.
Note 11:
The PGFB threshold is defined as the percentage of V
REF
voltage
which causes the current source output of the C
T
pin to change from
sinking (below threshold) to sourcing current (above threshold). When
sourcing current, the voltage on the C
T
pin rises until it is clamped
internally. When the clamp is activated, the output of the PG pin will be set
to a high impedance state. When the C
T
clamp is inactive the PG pin will
be set active low with a current sink capability of 200µA.
