POWER LOSS (W) LTC3561A 1A, 4MHz, Synchronous Step-Down DC/DC Converter FEATURES DESCRIPTION Uses Tiny Capacitors and Inductor The LTC 3561A is a constant frequency, synchronous High Frequency Operation: Up to 4MHz step-down DC/DC converter. Intended for medium power Low R Internal Switches: 0.15 applications, it operates from a 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage DS(ON) High Efficiency: Up to 96% range and has a user configurable operating frequency up Stable with Ceramic Capacitors to 4MHz, allowing the use of tiny, low cost capacitors and Current Mode Operation for Excellent Line inductors 1mm or less in height. The output voltage is and Load Transient Response adjustable from 0.8V to 5.5V. Internal synchronous power Short-Circuit Protected switches provide high efficiency. The LTC3561As current Low Dropout Operation: 100% Duty Cycle mode architecture and external compensation allow the Low Shutdown Current: I 1A transient response to be optimized over a wide range of Q Low Quiescent Current: 330A loads and output capacitors. Output Voltages from 0.8V to 5V To further maximize battery life, the P-channel MOSFET V : 2.5V to 5.5V IN is turned on continuously in dropout (100% duty cycle). Small 8-Lead 3mm 3mm DFN Package In shutdown, the device draws <1A.
