DESCRIPTION
The LTC®1435 is a synchronous step-down switching regulator controller that drives external N-channel power MOSFETs using a fixed frequency architecture. Burst ModeTM operation provides high efficiency at low load currents. A maximum duty cycle limit of 99% provides low dropout operation which extends operating time in battery-operated systems.
