Step-Up/Step-Down Charge Pumps Generate Fixed
The LTC 3240-3.3/LTC3240-2.5 are step-up/step-down
3.3V or 2.5V Outputs
IN
Output Current up to 150mA
Automatic Mode Switching
Constant Frequency (1.2MHz) Operation in
Step-Up Mode
Low Dropout Regulator Operation in
Step-Down Mode
Low No-Load Quiescent Current: I = 65µA
Built-In Soft-Start Reduces Inrush Current
Shutdown Disconnects Load from Input
Shutdown Current < 1µA
charge pump DC/DC converters that produce a fixed
regulated output voltage of 3.3V or 2.5V over a wide input
voltage range (1.8V to 5.5V).

With input voltages greater than the regulated output
voltage the LTC3240 operates as a low dropout regulator.

Q
TheLTC3240-3.3/LTC3240-2.5featurelownoloadoperat-
ing current (65µA typical) and ultralow operating current
in shutdown (<1µA). Built-in soft-start circuitry prevents
excessive inrush current during start-up. Thermal shut-
down and current-limit circuitry allow the parts to survive
