LTC3521 1A Buck-Boost DC/DC and Dual 600mA Buck DC/DC Converters FEATURES DESCRIPTION n Three High Efficiency DC/DC Converters: The LTC 3521 combines a 1A buck-boost DC/DC converter Buck-Boost (V : 1.8V to 5.25V, I : 1A) and dual 600mA synchronous buck DC/DC converters. The OUT OUT Dual Buck (V : 0.6V to V , I : 600mA) 1.1MHz switching frequency minimizes the solution foot- OUT IN OUT n 1.8V to 5.5V Input Voltage Range print while maintaining high efficiency. All three converters n feature soft-start and internal compensation to minimize Pin-Selectable Burst Mode Operation n the solution footprint and simplify the design process. 30A Total Quiescent Current in Burst Mode Operation The buck converters are current mode controlled and n Independent Power Good Indicator Outputs utilize an internal synchronous rectifier to improve ef- n Integrated Soft-Start ficiency. The buck converters support 100% duty cycle n Thermal and Overcurrent Protection operation to extend battery life. If the PWM pin is held n <2A Current in Shutdown low, the buck converters automatically transition from n Small 4mm 4mm QFN and Thermally Enhanced Burst Mode operation to PWM mode at high loads. With TSSOP Packages the PWM pin held high, the buck converters remain in low noise, 1.1MHz PWM mode. APPLICATIONS The buck-boost converter features continuous conduction n Bar Code Readers operation to maximize efficiency and minimize noise. At n Medical Instruments light loads, the buck-boost converter can be operated in n Handy Terminals Burst Mode operation to improve efficiency and reduce n PDAs, Handheld PCs no-load standby current. n GPS Receivers The LTC3521 provides a <2A shutdown mode, over- L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology, Burst Mode and the Linear logo are registered trademarks and PowerPath is a trademark of Linear Technology Corporation.
