regulator with internal power switch that draws only 12μA
typical DC supply current while maintaining a regulated
output voltage at no load.
The LTC7138 can supply up to 400mA load current and
features a programmable peak current limit that provides
a simple method for optimizing efficiency and for reduc-
ing output ripple and component size. The LTC7138’s
combination of Burst Mode
®
operation, integrated power
switch, low quiescent current, and programmable peak
current limit provides high efficiency over a broad range
of load currents.
With its wide input range of 4V to 140V and programmable
overvoltage lockout, the LTC7138 is a robust regulator
suited for regulating from a wide variety of power sources.
Additionally, the LTC7138 includes a precise run threshold
and soft-start feature to guarantee that the power system
start-up is well-controlled in any environment. A feedback
comparator output enables multiple LTC7138s to be con-
nected in parallel for higher current applications.
The LTC7138 is available in a thermally enhanced high
voltage-capable 16-lead MSE package with four missing pins.

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
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LTC7138 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTC7138E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 125°C operating
junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls. The LTC7138I is guaranteed
over the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range, the
LTC7138H is guaranteed over the –40°C to 150°C operating junction
temperature range and the LTC7138MP is tested and guaranteed over the
–55°C to 150°C operating junction temperature range.
High junction temperatures degrade operating lifetimes; operating lifetime
is derated for junction temperatures greater than 125°C. 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.
Note 3:
The junction temperature (T
J
, in °C) is calculated from the ambient
temperature (T
A
, in °C) and power dissipation (P
D
, in Watts) according to
the formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
•
θ
JA
)
where
θ
JA
is 40°C/W for the MSOP package.
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.
Note 4:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during momentary overload conditions. The maximum
rated junction temperature will be exceeded when this protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified absolute maximum operating
junction temperature may impair device reliability or permanently damage
the device. The overtemperature protection level is not production tested.
Note 5:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency. See Applications Information.
