FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®3405A-1.375 is a high efficiency monolithic
synchronous buck regulator using a constant frequency,
current mode architecture. Supply current during opera-
tionisonly20µAanddropsto<1µAinshutdown.The2.5V
to 5.5V input voltage range makes the LTC3405A-1.375
ideally suited for single Li-Ion battery-powered applica-
tions. 100% duty cycle provides low dropout operation,
extending battery life in portable systems.

Load Transient Response
Switching frequency is internally set at 1.5MHz, allowing
the use of small surface mount inductors and capacitors.
The LTC3405A-1.375 is specifically designed to work well
with ceramic output capacitors, achieving very low output
voltage ripple and a small PCB footprint.

Overtemperature Protected
Low Profile (1mm) ThinSOTTM Package
U
The internal synchronous switch increases efficiency and
eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode. The
LTC3405A-1.375 is available in a low profile (1mm)
ThinSOT package.
