Working Principle of LT3663IMS8E-3.3#PBF

The LT3663IMS8E-3.3#PBF works on the principle of a buck regulator, which is a common switching regulator topology. It converts an input voltage to a desired output voltage by using an internal switch to allow current to flow during the on time and then to block current flow during the off time. The switching frequency is set by the internal oscillator, and the output voltage is controlled by a voltage-feedback loop.

The output voltage is monitored continuously by an internal error amplifier. When the output voltage is below the reference voltage, the error amplifier drives the switch to turn on and transfer energy from the input capacitor to the output capacitor. Current leaves the input capacitor through the switch and flows through the inductor to the output. The switch turns off when the current amplitude is below a pre-determined threshold. The current stops flowing and the output voltage is regulated as the voltage drops across the inductor.

The LT3663IMS8E-3.3#PBF also offers a programmable soft-start feature, which allows the output voltage to ramp up at a controlled rate during power up, reducing inrush current. It also offers short-circuit protection, under-voltage lockout, and current-limit protection.
