• Manufacturer: Linear Technology Corporation

BLOCK DIAGRAM
The LT3501 is dual channel, constant frequency, current
mode buck converter with internal 3A switches. Each
channel is identical with a common shutdown pin, internal
regulator, oscillator, undervoltage detect, thermal shutdown
and power-on reset.
If the SHDN pin is taken below its 1.28V threshold the
LT3501 will be placed in a low quiescent current mode.
In this mode the LT3501 typically draws 9µA from V
and <1µA from V
with a typical sink capability of 50µA for V
greater than 2V.

When the SHDN pin is opened or driven above 1.28V,
the internal bias circuits turn on generating an internal
regulated voltage, 0.8V
and a POR signal which sets the soft-start latch.
As the R
the internal oscillator will start generating two clock signals
180° out of phase for each regulator at a frequency deter-
mined by the resistor from the R
