LTC3311
5V, 12.5A Synchronous Step-Down
Silent Switcher in 3mm x 3mm LQFN
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®3311 is a very small, low noise, monolithic
step-down DC/DC converter capable of providing up to
12.5A of output current from a 2.25V to 5.5V input supply.
The device employs Silent Switcher 1 architecture with
internal hot loop bypass capacitors to achieve both low
EMI and high efficiency at switching frequencies as high
as 5MHz. For systems with higher power requirements,
multi-phasing parallel converters is readily implemented.

Accuracy: 1% with Remote Sense
The LTC3311 uses a constant frequency, peak current
mode control architecture for fast transient response. A
500mV reference allows for low voltage outputs. 100%
duty cycle operation delivers low drop out.
Peak Current Mode Control
Minimum On-Time: 35ns
Programmable Frequency to 5MHz
Precision 400mV Enable Threshold, 1μA in Shutdown
Output Soft-Start with Voltage Tracking

Configurable for Paralleling Power Stages in Forced
Continuous Mode
Other features include a power good signal when the
output is in regulation, precision enable threshold, output
overvoltage protection, thermal shutdown, a temperature
monitor, clock synchronization, mode selection and
output short circuit protection. The device is available in
a compact 18-lead 3mm x 3mm LQFN package.
