LTC3410 2.25MHz, 300mA Synchronous Step-Down Regulator in SC70 UFEATURESDESCRIPTIO ■ High Efficiency: Up to 96% The LTC®3410 is a high efficiency monolithic synchro- ■ Low Ripple (20mVP-P) Burst Mode Operation: IQ 26 µ A nous buck regulator using a constant frequency, current ■ Low Output Voltage Ripple mode architecture. The device is available in adjustable ■ 300mA Output Current at VIN = 3V and fixed output voltage versions. Supply current during ■ 380mA Minimum Peak Switch Current operation is only 26µA, dropping to <1µA in shutdown. ■ 2.5V to 5.5V Input Voltage Range The 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage range makes the LTC3410 ■ 2.25MHz Constant Frequency Operation ideally suited for single Li-Ion battery-powered applica- ■ No Schottky Diode Required tions. 100% duty cycle provides low dropout operation, ■ Low Dropout Operation: 100% Duty Cycle extending battery life in portable systems. ■ Stable with Ceramic Capacitors Switching frequency is internally set at 2.25MHz, allowing ■ 0.8V Reference Allows Low Output Voltages the use of small surface mount inductors and capacitors. ■ Shutdown Mode Draws < 1µA Supply Current ■ ±2% Output Voltage Accuracy The LTC3410 is specifically designed to work well with ■ Current Mode Operation for Excellent Line and ceramic output capacitors, achieving very low output Load Transient Response voltage ripple and a small PCB footprint. ■ Overtemperature Protected The internal synchronous switch increases efficiency and ■ Available in Low Profile SC70 Package eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode. Low U output voltages are easily supported with the 0.8V feed- APPLICATIO S back reference voltage. The LTC3410 is available in a tiny, low profile SC70 package. ■ Cellular Telephones , LT, LTC and LTM are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
