All Duty Cycles*
The LT
®
1765 is a 1.25MHz monolithic buck switching
regulator. A high efficiency 3A, 0.09Ω switch is included
on the die together with all the control circuitry required
to construct 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 voltage range.
A low dropout internal regulator maintains consistent
performance 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 15µA.
Maximum switch current remains constant at all duty
cycles. Synchronization allows an external logic level
signal to increase the internal oscillator into the range of
1.6MHz to 2MHz.
Full cycle-by-cycle current control and thermal shutdown
are provided. High frequency operation allows the reduc-
tion of input and output filtering components and permits
the use of chip inductors.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LT1765E 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.
