LT3470A
Micropower Buck Regulator
with Integrated Boost and Catch Diodes
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LT®3470A is a micropower step-down DC/DC con-
verter that integrates a 440mA power switch, catch diode
and boost diode into low profile 2mm × 3mm DFN
package. The LT3470A combines Burst Mode and
continuous operation to allow the use of tiny inductor
and capacitors while providing a low ripple output to
loads of up to 250mA.

With its wide input range of 4V to 40V, the LT3470A can
regulate a wide variety of power sources, from 2-cell Li-Ion
batteries to unregulated wall transformers and lead-acid
batteries. Quiescent current in regulation is just 35µA in
a typical application while a zero current shutdown mode
disconnects the load from the input source, simplifying
power management in battery-powered systems. Fast cur-
rent limiting and hysteretic control protects the LT3470A
and external components against shorted outputs, even
at 40V input. The LT3470A has higher output current and
improved start-up and dropout performance compared
to the LT3470.
