The LT1940 is a dual current mode PWM step-down DC/DC converter with internal 2A power switches. Both converters are synchronized to a single 1.1MHz oscillator and run with opposite phases, reducing input ripple current. The output voltages are set with external resistor dividers, and each regulator has independent shutdown and soft-start circuits. Each regulator generates a power-good signal when its output is in regulation, easing power supply sequencing and interfacing with microcontrollers and DSPs.
The LT1940’s 1.1MHz switching frequency allows the use of tiny inductors and capacitors, resulting in a very small dual 1.4A output solution. Constant frequency and ceramic capacitors combine to produce low, predictable output ripple voltage. With its wide input range of 3.6V to 25V, the LT1940 regulates a wide variety of power sources, from 4-cell batteries and 5V logic rails to unregulated wall transformers, lead acid batteries and distributed-power supplies. The LT1940L is intended to operate from regulated 5V supplies. A current mode PWM architecture provides fast transient response with simple compensation components and cycle-by-cycle current limiting. Frequency foldback and thermal shutdown provide additional protection.
