LTC3547 Dual Monolithic 300mA Synchronous Step-Down Regulator UFEATURESDESCRIPTIO ■ High Effi ciency Dual Step-Down Outputs: Up to 96% The LTC®3547 is a dual, 2.25MHz, constant-frequency, ■ 300mA Output Current per Channel at V synchronous step-down DC/DC converter in a tiny 3mm IN = 3V ■ Automatic Low Ripple Burst Mode Operation × 2mm DFN package. 100% duty cycle provides low drop- (20mV out operation, extending battery life in portable systems. P-P) ■ Only 40µA Quiescent Current During Operation Low output voltages are supported with the 0.6V feed- (Both Channels) back reference voltage. Each regulator can supply 300mA ■ 2.25MHz Constant-Frequency Operation continuous output current. ■ 2.5V to 5.5V Input Voltage Range The input voltage range is 2.5V to 5.5V, making it ideal for ■ Low Dropout Operation: 100% Duty Cycle Li-Ion and USB powered applications. Supply current dur- ■ Internally Compensated for All Ceramic Capacitors ing operation is only 40µA and drops to < 1µA in shutdown. ■ Independent Internal Soft-Start for Each Channel Automatic Burst Mode® operation increases effi ciency at ■ Current Mode Operation for Excellent Line and Load light loads, further extending battery life. Transient Response ■ 0.6V Reference Allows Low Output Voltages An internally set 2.25MHz switching frequency allows ■ Short-Circuit Protected the use of tiny surface mount inductors and capacitors. ■ Ultralow Shutdown Current: I Internal soft-start reduces inrush current during start- Q < 1µA ■ Low Profi le (0.75mm) 8-Lead 3mm up. All outputs are internally compensated to work with × 2mm DFN Package ceramic capacitors. The LTC3547 is available in a low U profi le (0.75mm) 3mm × 2mm DFN package. The LTC3547 APPLICATIO S is also available in a fi xed output voltage confi guration, eliminating the need for the external feedback networks ■ Cellular Telephones (see Table 2). ■ Digital Still Cameras ■ Wireless and DSL Modems , LT, LTC and LTM are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
