Linear Technology LT1339 High Power Synchronous DC/DC Controller Datasheet

The LT1339 is a high power synchronous current mode switching regulator controller. The IC drives dual N-channel MOSFETs to create a single IC solution for high power DC/DC converters in applications up to 60V. The LT1339 incorporates programmable average current limiting, allowing accurate limiting of DC load current independent of inductor ripple current. The IC also incorporates user-adjustable slope compensation for minimization of magnetics at duty cycles up to 90%. The LT1339 timing oscillator operating frequency is programmable and can be synchronized up to 150kHz. Minimum off-time operation provides main switch protection. The IC also incorporates a soft start feature that is gated by both shutdown and undervoltage lockout conditions. An output phase reversal pin allows flexibility in configuration of converter types, including inverting and negative topologies.
