DESCRIPTION
The LT®1683 is a switching regulator controller designed to lower conducted and radiated electromagnetic interference (EMI). Ultralow noise and EMI are achieved by controlling the voltage and current slew rates of external N-channel MOSFET switches. Current and voltage slew rates can be independently set to optimize harmonic content of the switching waveforms vs efficiency. The LT1683 can reduce high frequency harmonic power by as much as 40dB with only minor losses in efficiency.
