About this manual

The LT3437 is a constant‑frequency, current‑mode buck converter designed for high‑efficiency power conversion. It operates from 3.3 V to 60 V input and delivers up to 500 mA peak switch current, featuring burst‑mode operation for ultra‑low quiescent current.

The device is offered in a 10‑pin DFN package or a 16‑lead TSSOP, with an exposed pad for thermal grounding. Pin functions, electrical characteristics, and typical performance graphs are provided for design reference.

Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum input voltage for the LT3437?

The minimum input voltage is 2.5 V (typical) and 3 V (minimum) as specified in the electrical characteristics.

How can burst‑mode operation be disabled?

Burst‑mode can be defeated by applying a logic‑high signal to the SYNC pin, which disables the low‑load mode.

What is the shutdown pin voltage requirement?

The SHDN pin requires a voltage above 1.3 V to exit shutdown.

What package options are available for the LT3437?

It is available in a 10‑pin DFN package (0.75 mm low profile) and a 16‑lead TSSOP package, both with exposed pad leadframes.
