LM3460-1.2, -1.5
Precision Controller for GTLp and GTL Bus Termination
General Description
The LM3460 is a monolithic integrated circuit designed for
precision control of GTLplus and GTL Bus termination. This
controller is available in a tiny SOT23-5 package, and in-
cludes an internally compensated op amp, a bandgap refer-
ence, an NPN output transistor, and voltage setting resistors.
A trimmed precision bandgap voltage reference utilizes tem-
perature drift curvature correction for excellent voltage sta-
bility over the operating range. The precision output control
enables the termination voltage to maintain tight regulation,
despite fast switching requirements on the bus.
The LM3460 controller is designed to be used with a high
current (> 7A) NPN pass transistor to provide the high
current needed for the bus termination. The wide bandwidth
of the feedback loop provides excellent transient response,
and greatly reduces the output capacitance required, thus
reducing cost and board space requirements.
