DESCRIPTION
The LT®1940 is a dual current mode PWM step-down DC/DC converter with internal 2A power switches. Both converters are synchronized to a single 1.1MHz oscillator and run with opposite phases, reducing input ripple current. The output voltages are set with external resistor dividers, and each regulator has independent shutdown and soft-start circuits. Each regulator generates a powergood signal when its output is in regulation, easing power supply sequencing and interfacing with microcontrollers and DSPs.
