DESCRIPTION
Dual Synchronous
400mA/800mA, 2.25MHz
Step-Down DC/DC Regulator
The LTC
®
3548A is a dual, constant frequency, synchronous
step-down DC/DC converter. Intended for low power ap-
plications, it operates from a 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage
range and has a constant 2.25MHz switching frequency,
enabling the use of tiny, low cost capacitors and inductors
1mm or less in height. Each output voltage is adjustable
from 0.6V to 5V. Internal synchronous 0.35Ω, 0.7A/1.2A
power switches provide high efficiency without the need
for external Schottky diodes.
A user-selectable mode input is provided to allow the user
to trade-off ripple noise for low power efficiency. Burst
Mode
®
operation provides the highest efficiency at light
loads, while pulse-skipping mode provides the lowest
ripple noise 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.

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 LTC3548AE is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C and 125°C operating junction
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls. The LTC3548AI is guaranteed over the
full –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range. Note that
the maximum ambient temperature is determined by specific operating
conditions in conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal
resistance and other environmental factors.
The l denotes the specifi cations which apply over the full operating
junction temperature range, otherwise specifi cations are at T

= 25°C. V

Note 3: The LTC3548A is tested in a proprietary test mode that connects
V
FB
to the output of the error amplifier.
Note 4: Dynamic supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge
being delivered at the switching frequency.
Note 5: T
J
is calculated from the ambient, T
A
, and power dissipation, P

,
according to the following formula:
T

= T

Note 6: The DFN switch on-resistance is guaranteed by correlation to
wafer level measurements.
