The LT ®1933 is a current mode 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. Its high operating frequency allows the use of
tiny, low cost inductors and ceramic capacitors, resulting
in low, predictable output ripple.
Cycle-by-cycle current limit provides protection against
shorted outputs, and soft-start eliminates input current
surge during start up. The low current (<2μA) shutdown
provides output disconnect, enabling easy power management in battery-powered systems.
