140V, Low I, Negative to Positive Synchronous Boost Controller with 10V Gate Drive

The LTC®7899 is a high performance DC/DC negative to positive switching regulator controller that drives all N-channel synchronous MOSFET stages and can operate from input voltages up to 135V. The positive output voltage can easily be programmed with only two resistors by using the integrated feedback level shifter. The LTC7899 can alternatively be configured as a step-up (Boost) operation with pass-through.

The gate drive voltage for the LTC7899 can be programmed from 5V to 10V to allow the use of logic or standard-level MOSFETs to maximize efficiency.

The low no-load quiescent current extends operating run time in battery-powered systems. OPTI-LOOP® compensation allows the transient response to be optimized over a wide range of output capacitance and ESR values. The user can adjust the dead times of the LTC7899 with external resistors for margin or to tailor the application for higher efficiency and allow for high frequency operation.

The LTC7899 additionally features spread spectrum operation, which significantly reduces the peak radiated and conducted noise on both the input and output supplies, making it easier to comply with electromagnetic interference (EMI) standards.
