The LTC
®
3414 is a high efficiency monolithic synchro-
nous, step-down DC/DC converter utilizing a constant
frequency, current mode architecture. It operates from an
input voltage range of 2.25V to 5.5V and provides a
regulated output voltage from 0.8V to 5V while delivering
up to 4A of output current. The internal synchronous
power switch with 67mΩ on-resistance increases effi-
ciency and eliminates the need for an external Schottky
diode. Switching frequency is set by an external resistor or
can be synchronized to an external clock. 100% duty cycle
provides low dropout operation extending battery life in
portable systems. OPTI-LOOP
®
compensation allows the
transient response to be optimized over a wide range of
loads and output capacitors.
The LTC3414 can be configured for either Burst Mode
operation or forced continuous operation. Forced continu-
ous operation reduces noise and RF interference while
Burst Mode operation provides high efficiency by reduc-
ing gate charge losses at light loads. In Burst Mode
operation, external control of the burst clamp level allows
the output voltage ripple to be adjusted according to the
requirements of the application.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: The LTC3414E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls. The LTC3414I is guaranteed over the full
–40°C to 85°C operating temperature range. The LTC3414MP is
guaranteed over the full –55°C to 125°C operating tempaerature range.

Note 4: Dynamic supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge
being delivered at the switching frequency.
Note 5: T

Note 6: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliabability.
