200mA Output Current in Buck Mode
Single Inductor
The LTC3129-1 employs an ultralow noise, 1.2MHz PWM
switchingarchitecturethatminimizessolutionfootprintby
allowing the use of tiny, low profile inductors and ceramic
capacitors. Built-in loop compensation and soft-start
simplify the design. For high efficiency operation at light
loads, automatic Burst Mode operation can be selected,
reducing the quiescent current to just 1.3µA. To further
reduce part count and improve light load efficiency, the
LTC3129-1 includes an internal voltage divider to provide
eight selectable fixed output voltages.
