Working Principles

The LT3471EDD#TR is a step-down switching regulator that converts a higher input voltage to a lower output voltage. It utilizes a pulse-width modulation (PWM) control scheme to regulate the output voltage. The internal power switch, along with an inductor and capacitors, forms a buck converter topology.

During operation, the input voltage is switched on and off at a high frequency by the internal power switch. This creates a series of pulses that are filtered to produce a stable output voltage. The feedback pin (FB) monitors the output voltage and adjusts the duty cycle of the power switch to maintain the desired output voltage.
