DESCRIPTION
Dual Synchronous, 800mA,
2.25MHz Step-Down
DC/DC Regulator
The LTC
®
3407-4 is a dual, constant frequency, synchro-
nous step down DC/DC converter. Intended for low power
applications, it operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage
range and has a constant 2.25MHz switching frequency,
allowing the use of tiny, low cost capacitors and induc-
tors with a profi le ≤1mm. Each output voltage is adjust-
able from 0.6V to 5V. Internal synchronous 0.35Ω, 1.2A
power switches provide high effi ciency without the need
for external Schottky diodes.
A user selectable mode input is provided to allow the user
to trade-off noise ripple for low power effi ciency. Burst
Mode
®
operation provides high effi ciency at light loads,
while pulse-skipping mode provides low noise ripple at
light loads.
To further maximize battery life, the P-channel MOSFETs
are turned on continuously in dropout (100% duty cycle),
and both channels draw a total quiescent current of only
40μA. In shutdown, the device draws <1μA.
The LTC3407-4 is identical to the LTC3407-2 except for
the reduced power-on reset delay time.
