About this manual

The LT3800 controller provides a fixed‑frequency (200 kHz) current‑mode step‑down solution for input voltages from 4 V to 60 V and output voltages up to 36 V. It drives standard N‑channel MOSFETs and includes features such as Burst Mode, reverse‑current inhibit, and programmable soft‑start to improve efficiency at light loads.

The device is supplied in a 16‑lead thermally‑enhanced TSSOP package and offers specifications such as 1 % regulation accuracy, 100 µA no‑load quiescent current, and a low‑shutdown current of less than 10 µA. Detailed pin functions, electrical characteristics, and typical application circuits are provided.
