High Efficiency Maintained Over Three Decades of
Output Current
maintain high efficiencies at low output currents. These
devices drive an external P-channel power MOSFET at
switchingfrequencies exceeding400kHzusingaconstant
off-time current mode architecture providing constant
ripple current in the inductor.

Low 160µA Standby Current at Light Loads
Logic Controlled Micropower Shutdown: IQ < 20µA
Short-Circuit Protection
Very Low Dropout Operation: 100% Duty Cycle
High Efficiency in a Small Amount of Board Space
Output Can Be Externally Held High in Shutdown
Available in 8-Pin SO Package
The operating current level is user-programmable via an
external current sense resistor. Wide input supply range
allows operation from 3.5V* to 14V (16V maximum).
Constantoff-timearchitectureprovides lowdropoutregu-
lation limited by only the RDS(ON) of the external MOSFET
and resistance of the inductor and current sense resistor.

The LTC1147 series incorporates automatic power saving
Burst Mode operation to reduce switching losses when
load currents drop below the level required for continuous
operation. Standby power is reduced to only 2mW at
