DESCRIPTIO
FEATURES
■
High Efficiency: Up to 94%
The LTC®1772 is a constant frequency current mode step-
downDC/DCcontrollerprovidingexcellentACandDCload
and line regulation. The device incorporates an accurate
undervoltagelockoutfeaturethatshutsdowntheLTC1772
when the input voltage falls below 2.0V.
■
High Output Currents Easily Achieved
■
Wide VIN Range: 2.5V to 9.8V
■
Constant Frequency 550kHz Operation
Burst Mode® Operation at Light Load
■
■
Low Dropout: 100% Duty Cycle
Tiny 6-Lead SOT-23 Package
0.8V Reference Allows Low Output Voltages
The LTC1772 provides a ±2.5% output voltage accuracy
and consumes only 270µA of quiescent current. For
applications where efficiency is a prime consideration, the
LTC1772 is configured for Burst Mode operation, which
enhances efficiency at low output current.

To further maximize the life of a battery source, the
external P-channel MOSFET is turned on continuously in
dropout (100%dutycycle).In shutdown, the device draws
a mere 8µA. High constant operating frequency of 550kHz
allows the use of a small external inductor.
Shutdown Mode Draws Only 8µA Supply Current
±2.5% Reference Accuracy
