The LTC®1266 series is a family of synchronous switching
regulator controllers featuring automatic Burst ModeTM operation to maintain high efficiencies at low output currents. These devices drive external power MOSFETs at switching frequencies up to 400kHz using a constant offtime current mode architecture providing constant ripple current in the inductor. They can drive either an N-channel or a P-channel topside MOSFET.
The operating current level is user-programmable via an external current sense resistor. Wide input supply range allows operation from 3.5V to 18V (2...
