The LTC
®
3418 is a high efficiency, monolithic synchronous
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 8A of output
current. The internal synchronous power switch increases
efficiency 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. OPTI-LOOP
®
compensation allows the transient response to be optimized
over a wide range of loads and output capacitors.
The LTC3418 can be configured for either Burst Mode
operation or forced continuous operation. Forced con
-
tinuous operation reduces noise and RF interference
while Burst Mode operation provides high efficiency by
reducing 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. A tracking input in the
LT
C3418
allows for proper sequencing with respect to
another power supply.

The l denotes the specifications which apply over the full operating
temperature range, otherwise specifications are at T
A
= 25°C. V
IN
= 3.3V. (Note 2)
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 LTC3418 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.
Note 3: The LTC3418 is tested in a feedback loop that adjusts V
FB
to
achieve a specified error amplifier output voltage (I
TH
).
Note 4: Dynamic supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge
being delivered at the switching frequency.
Note 5: T
