LM20343 36V, 3A Adjustable Frequency Synchronous Buck Regulator
August 12, 2008
General Description
The LM20343 is a full featured synchronous buck regulator
capable of delivering up to 3A of load current. The current
mode control loop is externally compensated with only two
components, offering both high performance and ease of use.
The device is optimized to work over the input voltage range
of 4.5V to 36V making it well suited for high voltage systems.
The device features internal Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
and Over Current Protection (OCP) circuits for increased system reliability. A precision Enable pin and integrated UVLO
allows the turn on of the device to be tightly controlled and
sequenced. Startup inrush currents are limited by both an internally fixed and externally adjustable soft-start circuit. Fault
detection and supply sequencing are possible with the integrated power good (PGOOD) circuit.
The frequency of this device can be adjusted from 250 kHz to
1.0 MHz by connecting an external resistor from the RT pin
to ground.
The LM20343 is designed to work well in multi-rail power
supply architectures. The output voltage of the device can be
configured to track a higher voltage rail using the SS/TRK pin.
If the output of the LM20343 is pre-biased at startup it will not
sink current to pull the output low until the internal soft-start
ramp exceeds the voltage at the feedback pin.
The LM20343 is offered in an exposed pad 20-pin eTSSOP
package that can be soldered to the PCB, eliminating the
need for bulky heatsinks.

1SS/TRK Soft-Start or Tracking control inputAn internal 4.5 µA current source charges an external capacitor to set
the soft-start rate. The PWM can track to an external voltage ramp with
a low impedance source. If left open, an internal 1 ms SS ramp is
activated.
