Q
To minimize external components the LT3154 can be
configured to operate from a 2.2MHz internal oscillator.
To optimize applications for highest efficiency or small‑
est footprint the oscillator can be programmed between
500kHz to 4MHz, or synchronized to an external clock for
noise sensitive circuits.

APPLICATIONS

Portable Inventory Terminals
Selectable Burst Mode operation reduces quiescent cur‑
rent to 17μA, ensuring high efficiency across the entire
load range. The VIN start‑up threshold (UVLO) can be
adjusted for various input sources. An internal or exter‑
nally programmable soft‑start limits inrush current
during start‑up. Other features include <1μA shutdown
current, short circuit, and thermal overload protection.
The LT3154 is housed in the thermally enhanced 16‑lead
(3mm × 3mm × 0.74mm) LQFN package.
