TYPICAL APPLICATION

DESCRIPTION

38V, 1.2A, 2MHz

Step-Down Regulator with

2.8µA Quiescent Current

switching regulator that accepts a wide input voltage range

up to 38V. Low quiescent current design consumes only

2.8μA of supply current while regulating with no load. Low

ripple Burst Mode operation maintains high efficiency at

low output currents while keeping the output ripple below

15mV in a typical application. An internally compensated

current mode topology is used for fast transient response

and good loop stability. A high efficiency 0.33Ω switch

is included on the die along with a boost Schottky diode

and the necessary oscillator, control and logic circuitry.

An accurate 1V threshold enable pin can be used to shut

down the LT3971, reducing the input supply current to

700nA. A capacitor on the SS pin provides a controlled

inrush current (soft-start). A power good flag signals

age. The LT3971 is available in small 10-pin MSOP and

3mm

× 3mm DFN packages with exposed pads for low

thermal resistance.
