DESCRIPTION

The LT®3957A is a wide input range, current mode DC/DC converter which is capable of generating either positive or negative output voltages. It can be configured as either a boost, flyback, SEPIC or inverting converter. It features an internal low side N-channel power MOSFET rated for 40V at 5A and driven from an internal regulated 5.2V supply. The fixed frequency, current- mode architecture results in stable operation over a wide range of supply and output voltages.
