The LTC
®
3704 is a wide input range, current mode,
positive-to-negative DC/DC controller that drives an
N-channel power MOSFET and requires very few external
components. Intended for low to high power applications,
it eliminates the need for a current sense resistor by
utilizing the power MOSFET’s on-resistance, thereby maxi-
mizing efficiency.
The IC’s operating frequency can be set with an external
resistor over a 50kHz to 1MHz range, and can be synchro-
nized to an external clock using the MODE/SYNC pin.
Burst Mode operation at light loads, a low minimum
operating supply voltage of 2.5V and a low shutdown
quiescent current of 10μA make the LTC3704 ideally
suited for battery-operated systems.
For applications requiring constant frequency operation,
the Burst Mode operation feature can be defeated using
the MODE/SYNC pin. Higher than 36V switch voltage
applications are possible with the LTC3704 by connecting
the SENSE pin to a resistor in the source of the power
MOSFET.
The LTC3704 is available in the 10-lead MSOP package.

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
reliabilty and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LTC3704E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the – 40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls. The LTC3704I is guaranteed over the full
–40°C to 125°C operating temperature range.
Note 3:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation P
D
according to the following formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 120°C/W)
Note 4:
The dynamic input supply current is higher due to power MOSFET
gate charging (Q
G
• f
OSC
). See Applications Information.
Note 5:
The LTC3704 is tested in a feedback loop that servos V
NFB
to the
reference voltage with the I
TH
pin forced to a voltage between 0V and 1.4V
(the no load to full load operating voltage range for the I
TH
pin is 0.3V to
1.23V).
Note 6:
In a synchronized application, the internal slope compensation
gain is increased by 25%. Synchronizing to a significantly higher ratio will
reduce the effective amount of slope compensation, which could result in
subharmonic oscillation for duty cycles greater than 50%.
Note 7:
Rise and fall times are measured at 10% and 90% levels.
