Key Featrues

Wide Input Voltage Range (4V to 60V): The LTC3891 supports a broad input voltage range, making it versatile for various applications, including automotive and battery-powered systems. This feature ensures reliable operation even with fluctuating input voltages, enhancing system stability and efficiency.
Low Operating Quiescent Current (50µA): With a low quiescent current, the LTC3891 minimizes power consumption during standby or light-load conditions. This feature is particularly beneficial for energy-sensitive applications, extending battery life and improving overall power efficiency.
Programmable Fixed Frequency (50kHz to 900kHz): The ability to program the switching frequency allows designers to optimize the regulator for specific performance and efficiency requirements. This flexibility helps in reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI) and improving thermal management in compact designs.
Selectable Current Limit: The LTC3891 offers a selectable current limit feature, providing enhanced protection against overcurrent conditions. This ensures safe operation and protects the device and connected components from potential damage, increasing system reliability.
Very Low Dropout Operation (99% Duty Cycle): The regulator can operate with a very low dropout voltage, enabling efficient power conversion even when the input voltage is close to the output voltage. This feature is crucial for applications requiring high efficiency and minimal power loss, such as in portable devices and distributed power systems.

Applications

Automotive Power Management: The LTC3891 is ideal for managing power in automotive always-on systems, such as infotainment, telematics, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). Its wide input voltage range (4V to 60V) and low quiescent current (50µA) ensure efficient operation in demanding automotive environments, making it suitable for battery-powered and distributed power systems in vehicles.
Industrial Distributed Power Systems: The LTC3891 is well-suited for distributed power systems in industrial applications, where reliable and efficient DC/DC conversion is critical.
