Working Principles

The LTC3705EGN#PBF operates as a step-down DC/DC converter using a synchronous rectification topology. It converts a higher input voltage to a lower regulated output voltage by controlling the duty cycle of the internal switches. The switching frequency can be set externally using an external resistor and capacitor.

When the input voltage is applied, the internal control circuitry regulates the duty cycle to maintain the desired output voltage. The synchronous rectification mechanism reduces power losses by utilizing a low-side MOSFET instead of a diode for rectification.
