FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®1701/LTC1701B are the industry’s first SOT-23
step-down,currentmode,DC/DCconverters.Intendedfor
lowtomediumpowerapplications,theyoperatefrom2.5V
to 5.5V input voltage range and switch at 1MHz, allowing
the use of tiny, low cost capacitors and inductors 2mm or
less in height. The output voltage is adjustable from 1.25V
to 5V. A built-in 0.28Ω switch allows up to 0.5A of output
current at high efficiency. OPTI-LOOPTM compensation
allows the transient response to be optimized over a wide
range of loads and output capacitors.

Uses Tiny Capacitors and Inductor
■
High Frequency Operation: 1MHz
■
High Output Current: 500mA
■
Low RDS(ON) Internal Switch: 0.28Ω
■
High Efficiency: Up to 94%
■
Current Mode Operation for Excellent Line
and Load Transient Response

■
Low Quiescent Current: 135µA (LTC1701)
■
Low Dropout Operation: 100% Duty Cycle
The LTC1701 incorporates automatic power saving Burst
ModeTM operation to reduce gate charge losses when the
load current drops below the level required for continuous
operation. The LTC1701B operates continuously to very
low load currents to provide low ripple at the expense of
lightloadefficiency.Withnoload,theLTC1701drawsonly
135µA. In shutdown, both devices draw less than 1µA,
making them ideal for current sensitive applications.

Their small size and switching frequency enables a
complete DC/DC converter function to consume less than
0.3 square inches of PC board area.
