FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®3405A-1.5/LTC3405A-1.8 are high efficiency
monolithic synchronous buck regulators using a constant
frequency, current mode architecture. Supply current
during operation is only 20µA and drops to <1µA in
shutdown. The2.5Vto5.5Vinputvoltagerangemakesthe
LTC3405A-1.5/LTC3405A-1.8 ideally suited for single
Li-Ion battery-powered applications. 100% duty cycle
provides low dropout operation, extending battery life in
portable systems.

Switching frequency is internally set at 1.5MHz, allowing
the use of small surface mount inductors and capacitors.
TheLTC3405A-1.5/LTC3405A-1.8arespecificallydesigned
to work well with ceramic output capacitors, achieving
very low output voltage ripple and a small PCB footprint.
