LM3478
High Efficiency Low-Side N-Channel Controller for
Switching Regulator
±
2.5% (over temperature) internal reference
General Description
The LM3478 is a versatile Low-Side N-FET switching regulator controller. It is suitable for use in topologies requiring
low side FET, such as boost, flyback, SEPIC, etc. Moreover,
the LM3478 can be operated at extremely high switching
frequency in order to reduce the overall solution size. The
switching frequency of LM3478 can be adjusted to any value
between 100kHz and 1MHz by using a single external resistor. Current mode control provides superior bandwidth and
transient response, besides cycle-by-cycle current limiting.
Output current can be programmed with a single external
resistor.
The LM3478 has built in features such as thermal shutdown,
short-circuit protection, over voltage protection, etc. Power
saving shutdown mode reduces the total supply current to
5µA and allows power supply sequencing. Internal soft-start
limits the inrush current at start-up.

Electrical Characteristics (Continued)
Note 1: Absolute MaximumRatings are limits beyond which damage to the device may occur.Operating Ratings are conditions under which operation of the device
is intended to be functional. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics.
Note 2: The human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5kΩ resistor into each pin.
Note 3: All limits are guaranteed at room temperature (standard type face) and at temperature extremes (bold type face). All room temperature limits are 100%
tested. All limits at temperature extremes are guaranteed via correlation using standard Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methods. All limits are used to calculate
Average Outgoing Quality Level (AOQL).
Note 4: Typical numbers are at 25˚C and represent the most likely norm.
Note 5: The FA/SD pin should be pulled to V
= High to keep the regulator off and must be below the limit for Output = Low to keep the regulator on.
Note 6: The voltage on the drive pin, V
than or equal to 7.2V.
Note 7: The limits for the maximum duty cycle can not be specified since the part does not permit less than 100% maximum duty cycle operation.
Note 8: The over-voltage protection is specified with respect to the feedback voltage. This is because the over-voltage protection tracks the feedback voltage. The
overvoltage protection threshold is given by adding the feedback voltage, V
Note 9: For this test, the FA/SD pin is pulled to ground using a 40K resistor.
