with all the necessary oscillator, control and logic cir-

cuitry. 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. Burst Mode operation can be defeated by a logic

high signal on the SYNC pin which results in lower light

load ripple at the expense of light load efficiency. Patented

circuitry maintains peak switch current over the full duty

cycle range.* Shutdown reduces input supply current to

less than 1

µA. External synchronization can be imple-

mented by driving the SYNC pin with logic-level inputs. A

controlled output voltage ramp (soft-start).
