Key Featrues

Wide VIN Range (4.5V to 38V): This feature allows the LTC3833 to operate across a broad input voltage range, making it highly versatile for various power supply applications. Its ability to handle such a wide range ensures compatibility with multiple power sources, enhancing its usability in diverse environments, from industrial to automotive systems.
Differential Output Sensing: This feature enables accurate voltage regulation by compensating for up to 500mV of line loss. It improves performance in high-current applications by ensuring the output voltage remains stable, even with significant voltage drops across PCB traces or cables, leading to more reliable and efficient power delivery.
Controlled On-Time Valley Current Mode Architecture: This architecture provides both fast transient response and constant frequency switching, independent of input voltage, output voltage, and load current. This results in improved efficiency and stability, especially in dynamic load conditions, making it ideal for computing and datacomm systems.
Frequency Programmable from 200kHz to 2MHz: The ability to adjust the switching frequency allows designers to optimize the LTC3833 for specific applications, balancing efficiency and component size. Higher frequencies enable the use of smaller inductors and capacitors, reducing the overall footprint, while lower frequencies improve efficiency in high-power applications.
Overvoltage Protection and Current Limit Foldback: These safety features protect the system from damage due to overvoltage or excessive current. Overvoltage protection ensures the output voltage does not exceed safe limits, while current limit foldback reduces the risk of thermal damage during short-circuit conditions, enhancing the reliability and longevity of the device in demanding environments.
