DESCRIPTIO
FEATURES
■
High Efficiency: Up to 95%
The LTC®3560 is a high efficiency monolithic synchro-
nous buck regulator using a constant frequency, current
mode architecture. Supply current during operation is
only 16µA, dropping to <1µA in shutdown. The 2.5V to
5.5VinputvoltagerangemakestheLTC3560ideallysuited
forsingleLi-Ion/Li-Polymerbattery-poweredapplications.
100% duty cycle provides low dropout operation, extend-
ing battery life in portable systems.

2.5V to 5.5V Input Voltage Range
2.25MHz Constant Frequency Operation
Synchronizable to External Clock
No Schottky Diode Required
Stable with Ceramic Capacitors
Low Dropout Operation: 100% Duty Cycle
0.6V Reference Allows Low Output Voltages
Shutdown Mode Draws <1µA Supply Current
±2% Output Voltage Accuracy
Switching frequency is internally set at 2.25MHz, allowing
the use of small surface mount inductors and capacitors.
For noise sensitive applications the LTC3560 can be
externally synchronized from 1MHz to 3MHz. Burst Mode
operation is inhibited during synchronization or when the
SYNC/MODE pin is pulled high, preventing low frequency
ripple from interfering with audio circuitry.
Current Mode Operation for Excellent Line and
Load Transient Response

Low Profile (1mm) ThinSOTTM Package
U
The internal synchronous switch increases efficiency and
eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode. Low
output voltages are easily supported with the 0.6V feed-
back reference voltage. The LTC3560 is available in a low
profile (1mm) ThinSOT package.
