Tiny High Efficiency 2A Buck Regulator Directly Accepts Automotive, Industrial and Other Wide Ranging Inputs

Automotive batteries, industrial power supplies, distributed supplies and wall transformers are all sources of wide-ranging, high voltage inputs. The easiest way to step down these sources is with a high voltage monolithic step-down regulator that can directly accept a wide input range and produce a well-regulated output. The LT3480 is a new step-down regulator that accepts input from up to 38V (60V transient) while providing excellent line and load regulation and dynamic response. The LT3480 offers high efficiency solutions over wide load range and keeps the output ripple low during Burst Mode operation.
