... PWM step-down DC/DC converter with an internal 0.75A power switch, packaged in a tiny 6-lead SOT-23. The wide input range of 3.6V to 36V makes the LT1933 suitable for regulating power from a wide variety of sources, including unregulated wall transformers, 24V industrial supplies and automotive batteries ...

... Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life of the device may be impaired. Note 2: The LT1933E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation ...

... C4 OSC FREQUENCY FOLDBACK SHDN (Pin 4): The SHDN pin is used to put the LT1933 in shutdown mode. Tie to ground to shut down the LT1933. Tie to 2.3V or more for normal operation. If the shutdown feature is not used, tie this pin to the V provides a soft-start function; see the Applications Infor- mation section ...

... An internal regulator provides power to the control cir- cuitry. This regulator includes an undervoltage lockout to prevent switching when V pin is used to place the LT1933 in shutdown, disconnect- ing the output and reducing the input current to less than 2µA. The switch driver operates from either the input or from the BOOST pin ...

... The MBRM140 provides better efficiency, and will handle extended overload conditions. Input Capacitor Bypass the input of the LT1933 circuit with a 2.2µF or higher value ceramic capacitor of X7R or X5R type. Y5V types have poor performance over temperature and ap- plied voltage, and should not be used. A 2.2µF ceramic is adequate to bypass the LT1933 and will easily handle the ripple current ...

... Output Capacitor The output capacitor has two essential functions. Along with the inductor, it filters the square wave generated by the LT1933 to produce the DC output. In this role it determines the output ripple, and low impedance at the switching frequency is important. The second function is to store energy in order to satisfy transient loads and stabilize the LT1933’ ...

... For proper startup, the minimum input voltage is also limited by the boost circuit. If the input voltage is ramped slowly, or the LT1933 is turned on with its SHDN pin when the output is already in regulation, then the boost capacitor may not be fully charged ...

... Frequency Compensation The LT1933 uses current mode control to regulate the output. This simplifies loop compensation. In particular, the LT1933 does not require the ESR of the output capacitor for stability allowing the use of ceramic capaci- tors to achieve low output ripple and small circuit size. ...

... The SW and BOOST nodes should be as small as possible. Finally, keep the FB node small so that the ground pin and ground traces will shield it from the SW and BOOST nodes. Include two vias near the GND pin of the LT1933 to help remove heat from the LT1933 to the ground plane. High Temperature Considerations The die temperature of the LT1933 must be lower than the maximum rating of 125° ...
