LTC3530
Wide Input Voltage
Synchronous Buck-Boost
DC/DC Converter
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The LTC®3530 is a wide V range, highly efficient, fixed
n
Regulated Output with Input Voltages Above, Below
IN
or Equal to the Output
frequency, buck-boost DC/DC converter that operates
from input voltages above, below or equal to the output
voltage. The topology incorporated in the IC provides a
continuoustransferfunctionthroughalloperatingmodes,
making the product ideal for single lithium-ion, two-cell
alkaline or NiMH applications where the output voltage is
within the battery voltage range.

1.8V. Switching frequencies up to 2MHz are programmed
with an external resistor. Automatic Burst Mode operation
allows the user to program the load current threshold for
Burst Mode operation using a single resistor from the
BURST pin to GND.
