DC/DC Controllers Generate Positive or Negative Regulated Voltage &
Feature -55°C to 150°C Maximum Junction Temperature
MILPITAS, CA – April 12, 2010 – Linear Technology Corporation announces the H- and
MP-grade versions of the LT3757 and LT3758 wide input range DC/DC controllers for boost,
flyback, SEPIC and inverting power supply applications. These devices are capable of generating
either a positive or negative regulated output voltage with a single device by having two internal
voltage feedback error amplifiers and reference voltages. These H- and MP-grade versions are
tested and guaranteed to operating junction temperature ranges from -40°C to 150°C and -55°C
to 125°C, respectively.
The LT3757 operates with an input voltage ranging from 2.9V to 40V and the LT3758
operates over a 5.5V to 100V input voltage range. The devices achieve efficiencies up to 96%,
making them well suited for industrial, automotive, military, medical and telecom applications.
With a programmable fixed or synchronizable operating frequency from 100kHz to 1MHz,
designers can choose a wide range of inductors and capacitors to optimize size, performance and
cost. The fixed frequency, current mode control results in stable operation over a wide range of
supply and output voltages, along with all ceramic capacitor designs, enabling a smaller solution
size. Additional features include programmable soft-start, input undervoltage lockout, output
overvoltage and overcurrent protection.
Both grades are available in the thermally enhanced MSOP-10 package. The 1000-piece
price starts at $2.56 each for the H-grade devices and $5.98 each for the MP-grade parts. For
