FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
TheLTC®3388-1/LTC3388-3are highefficiencystep-down
DC/DCconverterswithinternalhighsideandsynchronous
power switches that draw only 720nA typical DC sup-
ply current at no load while maintaining output voltage
regulation.

Capableofsupplying50mAofloadcurrent,theLTC3388-1/
LTC3388-3alsoincorporateanaccurateundervoltagelock-
out (UVLO) feature to disable the converter and maintain
a low quiescent current state when the input voltage falls
below 2.3V. In regulation, the LTC3388-1/LTC3388-3 enter
a sleep state in which both input and output quiescent cur-
rents are minimal. The buck converter turns on and off as
neededtomaintainregulation.Anadditionalstandbymode
disables buck switching while the output is in regulation
for short duration loads requiring low ripple.
