operaTion OVERVIEW
The external y compensated VC voltage generates a The LT3840 provides a solution for a high efficiency, general threshold for the differential current sense comparator. purpose DC/DC converter. It is a wide input voltage range During normal operation, the LT3840 internal oscillator switching regulator controller IC that uses a program- runs at the programmed frequency. At the beginning of mable fixed frequency, peak current mode architecture. each oscillator cycle, the TG switch drive is turned on. The An internal switching regulator efficiently provides an TG switch drive stays enabled until the sensed inductor auxiliary bias supply to drive multiple, large N-channel current exceeds the VC derived threshold of the current MOSFET switches. sense comparator. The LT3840 includes functions such as average output If the current comparator threshold is not reached for the current control and monitoring, micro-power operation entire oscillator cycle, the switch driver stays on for up with low output ripple, soft-start, output voltage tracking, to eight cycles. If after eight cycles the TG switch driver power good and a handful of protection features. is still on, it is turned off to regenerate the BOOST boot- strapped supply.
