LTC3899HFE

DC DC Switching Controllers Overview

The LTC3899HFE is a synchronous switching controller designed for high-efficiency power conversion. It integrates one boost and two buck converters, supporting input voltages from 4.5V to 60V during startup and down to 2.2V after startup. The device delivers output voltages up to 60V with a maximum output current of 15A per channel. Operating frequencies range from 105kHz to 835kHz, while the typical quiescent current is 39uA. It features load regulation of 0.01% and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +150°C.

DC DC Switching Controllers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Analog Devices distributors or certified partners. Confirm RoHS compliance status and specific lot traceability requirements before integration. Check current availability as supply constraints may apply. Ensure storage conditions meet manufacturer specifications to maintain reliability. Validate datasheet revisions against design documentation prior to final procurement.

DC DC Switching Controllers Selection Notes

Select this controller for designs requiring simultaneous buck and boost regulation from a single high-voltage source. Evaluate thermal management needs given the TSSOP-EP package and potential current loads. Consider external MOSFET selection based on the 60V rating and switching frequency capabilities. Verify that the application input voltage profile aligns with the 4.5V startup and 2.2V operating limits.
