DescripTion
The LTC®3619B is a dual monolithic synchronous buck
regulator using a constant frequency current mode ar-
chitecture.

Low Noise Pulse-Skipping Operation at Light Loads
The input supply voltage range is 2.5V to 5.5V, making it
ideal for Li-Ion and USB powered applications. 100% duty
cycle capability provides low dropout operation, extend-
ing the run time in battery-operated systems. Low output
voltages are supported with the 0.6V feedback reference
voltage. Channel 1 and channel 2 can supply 400mA and
800mA output current, respectively.

Current Mode Operation for Excellent Line and Load
TheLTC3619B’sprogrammableaverageinputcurrentlimit
is ideal for USB applications and for point-of-load power
supplies because the LTC3619B’s limited input current
will still allow its output to deliver high peak load currents
without collapsing the input supply. When the sum of
both channels’ currents exceeds the input current limit,
channel 2 is current limited while channel 1 remains regu-
lated. The operating frequency is internally set at 2.25MHz
allowingtheuseofsmallsurfacemountinductors.Internal
soft-start reduces in-rush current during start-up. The
LTC3619B is available in small MSOP and 3mm × 3mm
DFN packages. The LTC3619B is also available in a low
quiescent current, high efficiency Burst Mode® version,
LTC3619.
