LTC3115-1
40V, 2A Synchronous
Buck-Boost DC/DC
Converter
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
TheLTC®3115-1isahighvoltagemonolithicsynchronous
buck-boostDC/DCconverter.Itswide2.7Vto40Vinputand
output voltage ranges make it well suited to a wide variety
of automotive and industrial applications. A proprietary
low noise switching algorithm optimizes efficiency with
input voltages that are above, below or even equal to the
output voltage and ensures seamless transitions between
operational modes.

inductors for miniaturization of the application circuit. Pin
selectable Burst Mode operation reduces standby current
and improves light load efficiency which combined with a

battery-powered applications. Additional features include
output disconnect in shutdown, short-circuit protection
and internal soft-start. The LTC3115-1 is available in ther-
mally enhanced 16-lead 4mm × 5mm × 0.75mm DFN and
20-lead TSSOP packages.
