LTC3548-2 Dual Synchronous, Fixed /Adjustable Output, 2.25MHz Step-Down DC/DC Regulator FEATURESDESCRIPTION n High Effi ciency: Up to 95% The LTC®3548-2 is a dual, constant-frequency, synchro- n 1.8V/800mA Fixed Output and 400mA Adjustable nous step-down DC/DC converter. Intended for low power Output Voltage applications, it operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage n Only 40μA Quiescent Current (Both Channels) range and has a constant 2.25MHz switching frequency, n 2.25MHz Constant-Frequency Operation allowing the use of tiny, low cost capacitors and inductors n High Switch Current Limits: 1.2A and 0.7A with a profi le ≤1.2mm. For channel 1, the output voltage is n No Schottky Diodes Required fi xed at 1.8V/800mA; for channel 2, the output voltage is n Low RDS(ON) Internal Switches: 0.35Ω adjustable from 0.6V to VIN Internal synchronous 0.35Ω, n Current Mode Operation for Excellent Line 1.2A/0.7A power switches provide high effi ciency without and Load Transient Response the need for external Schottky diodes. n Short-Circuit Protected A user selectable mode input is provided to allow the n Low Dropout Operation: 100% Duty Cycle user to trade-off noise ripple for low power effi ciency. n Ultralow Shutdown Current: IQ < 1μA Burst Mode® operation provides high effi ciency at light n Power-On Reset Output loads, while pulse-skipping mode provides low noise n Externally Synchronizable Oscillator ripple at light loads. n Small, Thermally Enhanced 3mm × 3mm DFN Package To further maximize battery run time, the P-channel APPLICATIONS MOSFETs are turned on continuously in dropout (100% duty cycle), and both channels draw a total quiescent cur- n PDAs/Palmtop PCs rent of only 40μA. In shutdown, the device draws <1μA. n Digital Cameras n Cellular Phones L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology, the Linear logo and Burst Mode are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
