response without requiring a sense resistor. n Valley Current Mode Control The LT3740 includes an internal step-up converter to n Optimized for High Step-Down Ratio provide a bias 7.8V higher than the input voltage for the n Power Good Output Voltage Monitor drive. This enables the part to work from an input voltage n 0.8V Reference as low as 2.2V. n Three Pin-Selected Current Limit Levels n Constant Switching Frequency: 300kHz The XREF pin is an external reference input that allows the n Programmable Soft-Start user to override the internal 0.8V feedback reference with n Output Voltage Tracking any lower value, allowing full control of the output voltage n Available in 16-Pin 5mm × 3mm DFN during operation, output voltage tracking or soft-start. The LT3740 has three current limit levels that can be
