LTC3624/LTC3624-2 17V, 2A Synchronous Step-Down Regulator with 3.5µA Quiescent Current FeaTuresDescripTion n Wide VIN Range: 2.7V to 17V The LTC®3624/LTC3624-2 is a high efficiency 17V, 2A n Wide VOUT Range: 0.6V to VIN synchronous monolithic step-down regulator. The switch- n 95% Max Efficiency ing frequency is fixed to 1MHz (LTC3624) or 2.25MHz n Low IQ: 3.5µA, Zero-Current Shutdown (LTC3624-2) with a ±40% synchronization range. The n Constant Frequency (1MHz/2.25MHz) regulator features ultralow quiescent current and high n Fixed VOUT Options Available efficiency over a wide VOUT range. n Low Dropout Operation (100% Duty Cycle) with The step-down regulator operates from an input voltage Ultralow IQ range of 2.7V to 17V and provides an adjustable output n 2A Rated Output Current range from 0.6V to VIN while delivering up to 2A of output n ±1% Output Voltage Accuracy current. A user-selectable mode input is provided to allow n Current Mode Operation for Excellent Line and Load the user to trade off ripple noise for light load efficiency; Transient Response Burst Mode operation provides the highest efficiency at n Synchronizable to External Clock light loads, while pulse-skipping mode provides the lowest n Pulse-Skipping, Forced Continuous, Burst Mode® voltage ripple. The MODE pin can also be used to sync the Operation switching frequency to an external clock. n Internal Compensation and Soft-Start LTC3624/LTC3624-2 Options n Overtemperature Protection PART NAMEFREQUENCYV n Compact 8-Lead DFN (3mm × 3mm) Package OUT LTC3624 1MHz Adjustable LTC3624-3.3 1MHz 3.3V applicaTions LTC3624-5 1MHz 5V LTC3624-2 2.25MHz Adjustable n Battery Powered Equipment LTC3624-23.3 2.25MHz 3.3V n Portable Instrumentation LTC3624-25 2.25MHz 5V n Emergency Radios n General Purpose Step-Down Supplies L, LT, LTC, LTM, Burst Mode, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks and Hot Swap is a trademark of Linear Technology Corporation.
