LTC3406AB-2 2.25MHz, 600mA Synchronous Step-Down Regulator in ThinSOT FeaTuresDescripTion n High Efficiency: Up to 96% The LTC®3406AB-2 is a high efficiency monolithic synchro- n 600mA Output Current nous buck regulator using a constant frequency, current n 2.5V to 5.5V Input Voltage Range mode architecture. Supply current with no load is 200µA n 2.25MHz Constant Frequency Operation and drops to <1µA in shutdown. The 2.5V to 5.5V input n No Schottky Diode Required voltage range makes the LTC3406AB-2 ideally suited for n Low Dropout Operation: 100% Duty Cycle single Li-Ion battery-powered applications. 100% duty n ±2% Output Voltage Accuracy cycle provides low dropout operation, extending battery n Low Quiescent Current: 200µA life in portable systems. PWM pulse skipping mode op- n 0.6V Reference Allows Low Output Voltages eration provides very low output ripple voltage for noise n Shutdown Mode Draws <1µA Supply Current sensitive applications. n Internal Soft-Start Limits Inrush Current Switching frequency is internally set at 2.25MHz, allowing n Current Mode Operation for Excellent Line and the use of small surface mount inductors and capacitors. Load Transient Response n The internal synchronous switch increases efficiency and Overtemperature Protected n eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode. Low Low Profile (1mm) ThinSOTTM Package output voltages are easily supported with the 0.6V feedback applicaTions reference voltage. The LTC3406AB-2 is available in a low profile (1mm) ThinSOT package.
