The LT

switching regulator that provides both step-up and step-

down regulation using a single inductor. The IC operates

over a 4V to 60V input voltage range making it suitable for

use in various wide input voltage range applications such

as automotive electronics that must withstand both load

dump and cold crank conditions.

Internal control circuitry monitors system conditions and

converts from single switch buck operation to dual switch

bridged operation when required, seamlessly changing

between step-down and step-up voltage conversion.

Optional Burst Mode

cent current to 100

µA and maintains high efficiencies with

light loads.

Current limit foldback and frequency foldback help pre-

vent inductor current runaway during start-up. Program-

mable soft-start helps prevent output overshoot at start-up.

The LT3433 is available in a 16-lead thermally enhanced

TSSOP package.
