LTC3103 1.8µA Quiescent Current, 15V, 300mA Synchronous Step-Down DC/DC Converter FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Ultralow Quiescent Current: 1.8µA The LTC®3103 is a high efficiency, monolithic synchronous n Synchronous Rectification: Efficiency Up to 95% step-down converter using a current mode architecture n Wide VIN Range: 2.5V to 15V capable of supplying 300mA of output current. n Wide VOUT Range: 0.6V to 13.8V The LTC3103 offers two operational modes: automatic n 300mA Output Current Burst Mode operation and forced continuous mode allow- n User-Selectable Automatic Burst Mode ® or Forced ing the user the ability to optimize output voltage ripple, Continuous Operation noise and light load efficiency. With Burst Mode operation n Accurate and Programmable RUN Pin Threshold enabled, the typical DC input supply current at no load n 1.2MHz Fixed Frequency PWM drops to 1.8µA maximizing the efficiency for light loads. n Internal Compensation Selection of forced continuous mode provides very low n Power Good Status Output for VOUT noise constant frequency, 1.2MHz operation. n Available in Thermally Enhanced 3mm × 3mm × 0.75mm, 10-Pin DFN and 10-Pin MSOP Packages Additionally, the LTC3103 includes an accurate RUN com- parator, thermal overload protection, a power good output APPLICATIONS and an integrated soft-start feature to guarantee that the n power system start-up is well controlled.
