LTC3406B-1.2 1.5MHz, 600mA Synchronous Step-Down Regulator in ThinSOT UFEATURESDESCRIPTIO ■ High Efficiency: Up to 96% The LTC®3406B-1.2 is a high efficiency monolithic syn- ■ 600mA Output Current at VIN = 3V chronous buck regulator using a constant frequency, ■ 2.5V to 5.5V Input Voltage Range current mode architecture. Supply current with no load is ■ 1.5MHz Constant Frequency Operation 300µA dropping to <1µA in shutdown. The 2.5V to 5.5V ■ No Schottky Diode Required input voltage range makes the LTC3406B-1.2 ideally suited ■ Low Quiescent Current: 300µA for single Li-Ion battery-powered applications. 100% duty ■ Shutdown Mode Draws < 1µA Supply Current cycle provides low dropout operation, extending battery ■ Current Mode Operation for Excellent Line and life in portable systems. PWM pulse skipping mode opera- Load Transient Response tion provides very low output ripple voltage for noise ■ Overtemperature Protected sensitive applications. ■ Low Profile (1mm) ThinSOTTM Package Switching frequency is internally set at 1.5MHz, allowing the use of small surface mount inductors and capacitors. UAPPLICATIO S The internal synchronous switch increases efficiency and eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode.
