LM3481MM electronics ic chips High Efficiency Low Side N Channel Controller

LM3481MM electronics ic chips High Efficiency Low Side N Channel Controller

General Description

The LM3481 is a versatile Low-Side N-FET high performance controller for switching regulators. It is suitable for use in topologies requiring a low-side FET, such as boost, flyback, SEPIC, etc. The LM3481 can be operated at extremely high switching frequencies in order to reduce the overall solution size. The switching frequency of the LM3481 can be adjusted to any value between 100 kHz and 1 MHz by using a single external resistor or by synchronizing it to an external clock. Current mode control provides superior bandwidth and transient response in addition to cycle-by-cycle current limiting. Current limit can be programmed with a single external resistor.

The LM3481 has built in protection features such as thermal shutdown, short-circuit protection and over voltage protection. Power saving shutdown mode reduces the total supply current to 5µA and allows power supply sequencing. Internal soft-start limits the inrush current at start-up.
