LTC3404 1.4MHz High Efficiency Monolithic Synchronous Step-Down Regulator FEATURES DESCRIPTIO High Efficiency: Up to 95% The LTC 3404 is a high efficiency monolithic synchro- Very Low Quiescent Current: Only 10A nous buck regulator using a constant frequency, current During Operation mode architecture. Supply current during operation is 600mA Output Current at V = 3.3V only 10A and drops to < 1A in shutdown. The 2.65V to IN 2.65V to 6V Input Voltage Range 6V input voltage range makes the LTC3404 ideally suited 1.4MHz Constant Frequency Operation for single Li-Ion battery-powered applications. 100% duty No Schottky Diode Required cycle provides low dropout operation, extending battery Low Dropout Operation: 100% Duty Cycle life in portable systems. Synchronizable from 1MHz to 1.7MHz Switching frequency is internally set at 1.4MHz, allowing Selectable Burst Mode Operation or the use of small surface mount inductors and capacitors. Pulse Skipping Mode For noise sensitive applications the LTC3404 can be 0.8V Reference Allows Low Output Voltages externally synchronized from 1MHz to 1.7MHz. Burst Shutdown Mode Draws < 1 A Supply Current Mode operation is inhibited during synchronization or 2% Output Voltage Accuracy when the SYNC/MODE pin is pulled low, preventing low Current Mode Control for Excellent Line and frequency ripple from interfering with audio circuitry. Load Transient Response Overcurrent and Overtemperature Protected The internal synchronous switch increases efficiency and Available in 8-Lead MSOP Package eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode. Low U output voltages are easily supported with the 0.8V feed- APPLICATIO S back reference voltage. The LTC3404 is available in a Cellular Telephones space saving 8-lead MSOP package. Wireless and DSL Modems For higher input voltage (11V abs max) applications, refer Personal Information Appliances to the LTC1877 data sheet.
