Introduction

High voltage monolithic step-down converters simplify circuit design and save space by integrating the high side power switch into the device. In most cases, the switch is an n-type transistor (NMOS or NPN) with a boot-strapped drive stage, requiring an external boost diode and capacitor as well as the main catch diode, complicating the applications circuit.

The LT3470 is a 40V step-down converter with the power switch, catch diode and boost diode ...
