DESCRIPTIO
FEATURES
The LTC®3547 is a dual, 2.25MHz, constant-frequency,
synchronous step-down DC/DC converter in a tiny 3mm
× 2mm DFN package. 100% duty cycle provides low drop-
out operation, extending battery life in portable systems.
Low output voltages are supported with the 0.6V feed-
back reference voltage. Each regulator can supply 300mA
continuous output current.

An internally set 2.25MHz switching frequency allows
the use of tiny surface mount inductors and capacitors.
Internal soft-start reduces inrush current during start-
up. All outputs are internally compensated to work with
ceramic capacitors. The LTC3547 is available in a low
profile(0.75mm)3mm×2mmDFNpackage.TheLTC3547
is also available in a fixed output voltage configuration,
eliminating the need for the external feedback networks
(see Table 2).
