LTC3563 500mA, Synchronous Step-Down DC/DC Converter with Selectable Output Voltage UFEATURESDESCRIPTIO ■ High Effi ciency: Up to 96% The LTC®3563 is a high effi ciency monolithic synchro- ■ Pin Selectable Output Voltage: 1.28V/1.87V nous buck converter using a constant frequency, current ■ Low Ripple (<20mV mode architecture. A voltage select input allows the user P-P) Burst Mode® Operation:I to program the output voltage to 1.28V or 1.87V. Supply Q = 26µA ■ Very Low Quiescent Current: Only 26µA current during operation is only 26µA, dropping to <1µA in ■ 2.5V to 5.5V Input Voltage Range shutdown. The 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage range makes the ■ 2.25MHz Constant Frequency Operation LTC3563 ideally suited for single Li-Ion battery-powered ■ Low Dropout Operation: 100% Duty Cycle applications. 100% duty cycle provides low dropout opera- ■ No Schottky Diode Required tion, extending battery life in portable systems. Internal ■ Internal Soft-Start Limits Inrush Current power switches are optimized to provide high effi ciency ■ Shutdown Mode Draws <1µA Supply Current and eliminate the need for an external Schottky diode. ■ ±2% Output Voltage Accuracy The switching frequency is internally set at 2.25MHz, ■ Current Mode Operation for Excellent Line and Load allowing the use of small surface mount inductors and Transient Response capacitors. The LTC3563 is specifi cally designed to work ■ Overtemperature Protected well with ceramic output capacitors, achieving very low ■ Available in 2mm × 2mm 6-Lead DFN output voltage ripple and a small PCB footprint.
