LTC3113 - IC 16 A SWITCHING REGULATOR, 2000 kHz SWITCHING FREQ-MAX, PDSO16, 5 X 4 MM, 0.75 MM HEIGHT, LEAD FREE, PLASTIC, MO-229WJGD-2, DFN-16, Switching Regulator or Controller
The maximum input voltage that the LTC3113 can handle is 40V, but it's recommended to keep it below 36V for reliable operation.
To optimize the inductor selection, consider the inductor's saturation current, DC resistance, and core material. A good starting point is to choose an inductor with a saturation current rating above the peak current of the converter, and a DC resistance that minimizes losses.
The SYNC pin is used to synchronize the switching frequency of multiple LTC3113 devices in a system, ensuring that they operate in phase and reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI).
To configure the LTC3113 for a specific output voltage, use the FB pin and a resistive divider network to set the output voltage. The FB pin is connected to the output voltage through a resistive divider, and the ratio of the resistors determines the output voltage.
The maximum output current that the LTC3113 can deliver is 3A, but it's recommended to derate the output current based on the input voltage, output voltage, and ambient temperature to ensure reliable operation.
