DESCRIPTIO
FEATURES
■
High Efficiency: Up to 96%
The LTC®3410 is a high efficiency monolithic synchro-
nous buck regulator using a constant frequency, current
mode architecture. The device is available in adjustable
and fixed output voltage versions. Supply current during
operation is only 26µA, dropping to <1µA in shutdown.
The 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage range makes the LTC3410
ideally suited for single Li-Ion battery-powered applica-
tions. 100% duty cycle provides low dropout operation,
extending battery life in portable systems.

Low Ripple (20mVP-P) Burst Mode Operation: IQ 26µA
■
Low Output Voltage Ripple
■
300mA Output Current at VIN = 3V
■
380mA Minimum Peak Switch Current
■
2.5V to 5.5V Input Voltage Range
■
2.25MHz Constant Frequency Operation
■
No Schottky Diode Required
■
Low Dropout Operation: 100% Duty Cycle
■
Stable with Ceramic Capacitors
Switching frequency is internally set at 2.25MHz, allowing
the use of small surface mount inductors and capacitors.
The LTC3410 is specifically designed to work well with
ceramic output capacitors, achieving very low output
voltage ripple and a small PCB footprint.
■
0.8V Reference Allows Low Output Voltages
■
Shutdown Mode Draws <1µA Supply Current
■
±2% Output Voltage Accuracy
■
Current Mode Operation for Excellent Line and
Load Transient Response
Overtemperature Protected
■
The internal synchronous switch increases efficiency and
eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode. Low
output voltages are easily supported with the 0.8V feed-
back reference voltage. The LTC3410 is available in a tiny,
low profile SC70 package.
