The LT®3500 is a current mode PWM step-down DC/DC
converter with an internal 2.3A switch. The wide input range
of 3V to 40V makes the LT3500 suitable for regulating
power from a wide variety of sources, including automotive batteries, 24V industrial supplies and unregulated
wall adapters.
Resistor-programmable 250kHz to 2.2MHz frequency
range and synchronization capability enable optimization
between effi ciency and external component size. Cycleby-cycle current limit, frequency foldback and thermal
shutdown provide protection against a shorted output.
The soft-start feature controls the ramp rate of the output
voltage, eliminating input current surge during start-up,
and also provides output tracking.
The LT3500 contains an internal NPN transistor with feedback control which can be confi gured as a linear regulator
or as a linear regulator controller.
The LT3500’s low current shutdown mode (<12µA) enables
easy power management in battery-powered systems.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note2: The LT3500EDD/LT3500EMSE is guaranteed to meet performance
specifi cations from 0°C to 125°C junction temperature. Specifi cations over
the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by
design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls.
The LT3500IDD/LT3500IMSE is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C
operating junction temperature range. The LT3500HDD/LT3500HMSE is
guaranteed over the full –40°C to 150°C operating junction temperature
range. High junction temperatures degrade operating lifetimes. Operating
lifetime is derated at junction temperatures greater than 125°C.
Note 3: Minimum input voltage is defi ned as the voltage where internal
bias lines are regulated so that the reference voltage and oscillator remain
constant. Actual minimum input voltage to maintain a regulated output
will depend upon output voltage and load current. See Applications
Information.
Note 4: An internal power-on reset (POR) latch is set on the positive
transition of the SHDN pin through its threshold. The output of the latch
activates a current source on the SS pin which typically sinks 600µA,
discharging the SS capacitor. The latch is reset when the SS pin is driven
below the soft-start POR threshold or the SHDN pin is taken below its
threshold.
Note 5: This is the minimum voltage across the boost capacitor needed to
guarantee full saturation of the internal power switch.
Note 6: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed the maximum operating junction temperature
when overtemperature protection is active. Continuous operation above
the specifi ed maximum operating junction temperature may impair device
reliability.

PIN FUNCTIONS
VIN: The VIN pin powers the internal control circuitry and
is monitored by an undervoltage comparator. The V
is also connected to the collectors of the internal power
NPN switch and linear output NPN. The V
pin has high
IN
dI/dt edges and must be decoupled to ground close to
the pin of the device.
SHDN: The SHDN pin is used to shut down the LT3500
and reduce quiescent current to a typical value of
12µA. The accurate 0.76V threshold and input current
hysteresis can be used as an undervoltage lockout, preventing the regulator from operating until the input voltage has
reached a predetermined level. Force the SHDN pin above
its threshold or let it fl oat for normal operation.
SS: The SS pin is used to control the slew rate of the
output of both the switching and linear regulators. A
single capacitor from the SS pin to ground determines
the regulators’ ramp rate. For soft-start details see the
Applications Information section.
PG: The power good pin is an open-collector output that
sinks current when the FB or LFB falls below 90% of its
IN
pin
nominal regulating voltage. For V
state remains true, although during SHDN, V
above 2V, its output
IN
undervoltage
IN
lockout, or thermal shutdown, its current sink capability
is reduced
: The VC pin is the output of the error amplifi er and the
V
C
input to the peak switch current comparator. It is normally
used for frequency compensation, but can also be used
as a current clamp or control loop override. If the error
amplifi er drives V
above the maximum switch current
C
level, a voltage clamp activates. This indicates that the
output is overloaded and current to be pulled from the
SS pin reducing the regulation point.
/SYNC: This RT/SYNC pin provides two modes of setting
R
T
the constant switch frequency.
Connecting a resistor from the R
will set the R
/SYNC pin to a typical value of 1V. The
T
/SYNC pin to ground
T
resultant switching frequency will be set by the resistor
value. The minimum value of 15kΩ and maximum value
of 200kΩ set the switching frequency to 2.5MHz and
250kHz respectively.

LT3500
PIN FUNCTIONS
Driving the RT/SYNC pin with an external clock signal
will synchronize the switch to the applied frequency.
Synchronization occurs on the rising edge of the clock
signal after the clock signal is detected. Each rising clock
edge initiates an oscillator ramp reset. A gain control loop
servos the oscillator charging current to maintain a constant oscillator amplitude. Hence, the slope compensation
remains unchanged. If the clock signal is removed, the
oscillator reverts to resistor mode and reapplies the 1V
bias to the R
circuitry times out. The clock source impedance should
be set such that the current out of the R
resistor mode generates a frequency roughly equivalent
to the synchronization frequency. Floating or holding the
/SYNC pin above 1.1V will not damage the device, but
R
T
will halt oscillation.
PG: The power good bar pin is an open-collector output
that sinks current when the FB or LFB rises above 90%
of its nominal regulating voltage.
FB: The FB pin is the negative input to the switcher error
amplifi er. The output switches to regulate this pin to 0.8V
with respect to the exposed ground pad. Bias current
fl ows out of the FB pin.
LFB: The LFB pin is the negative input to the linear error
amplifi er. The L
with respect to the exposed ground pad. Bias current fl ows
out of the LFB pin.

pin servo’s to regulate this pin to 0.8V
DRV
LDRV: The LDRV pin is the emitter of an internal NPN that
can be confi gured as an output of a linear regulator or as
the drive for an external NPN high current regulator. Current fl ows out of the LDRV pin when the LFB pin voltage is
below 0.8V. The LDRV pin has a typical maximum current
capability of 13mA.
BST: The BST pin provides a higher than V
the power NPN to ensure a low switch drop. A comparator to V
the BST pin voltage drops too low. Forcing a SW off time
allows the boost capacitor to recharge.
SW: The SW pin is the emitter of the on-chip power NPN.
At switch off, the inductor will drive this pin below ground
with a high dV/dt. An external catch diode to ground, close
to the SW pin and respective V
ground, must be used to prevent this pin from excessive
negative voltages.
Exposed Pad: GND. The Exposed Pad is the only ground
connection for the device. The Exposed Pad should be
soldered to a large copper area to reduce thermal resistance. The GND pin also serves as small-signal ground.
For ideal operation all small-signal ground paths should
connect to the GND pin at a single point, avoiding any
high current ground returns.
NC Pins (MSE Package Only): No Connection. The NC pins
are electrically isolated from the LT3500. The NC pins may
be connected to PCB traces to aid PCB layout.
