LTC3786 Low IQ Synchronous Boost Controller - …

1 LTC378613786fcFor more information APPLICATION FEATURESDESCRIPTIONLow IQ Synchronous Boost ControllerThe LT C 3786 is a high performance Synchronous Boost converter Controller that drives all N-channel power MOSFETs. Synchronous rectification increases efficiency, reduces power losses and eases thermal requirements, allowing the LTC3786 to be used in high power Boost to 38V input supply range encompasses a wide range of system architectures and battery chemistries. When biased from the output of the Boost converter or another auxiliary supply, the LTC3786 can operate from an input supply as low as after start-up. The 55 A no-load quiescent current extends operating run time in battery-powered operating frequency can be set for a 50kHz to 900kHz range or synchronized to an external clock using the internal PLL. The LTC3786 also features a precision reference and a power good output indicator. The SS pin ramps the output voltage during start-up.

Exposure to any Absolute Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device reliability and 2: The LTC3786 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that TJ TA. The LTC3786E is guaranteed to meet specifications from 0 C to 85 C junction temperature. Specifications over the 40 C to 125 C operating junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The LTC3786I is guaranteed over the 40 C to 125 C operating junction temperature range. The LTC3786H is guaranteed over the 40 C to 150 C operating temperature range. High temperatures degrade operating lifetimes; operating lifetime is derated for junction temperatures greater than 125 C.

7 Note that the maximum ambient temperature consistent with these specifications is determined by specific operating conditions in conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal impedance and other environmental factors. The junction temperature (TJ in C) is calculated from the ambient temperature (TA in C) and power dissipation (PD in Watts) according to the formula: TJ = TA + (PD JA) The l denotes the specifications which apply over the full operating junction temperature range, otherwise specifications are at TA = 25 C.
