The LTC
®
3255 is a switched-capacitor step-down DC/DC
converter that produces a regulated output (2.4V to 12.5V
adjustable) from a 4V to 48V input. In applications where
the input voltage exceeds twice the output voltage, 2:1
capacitive charge pumping extends output current capabil-
ity beyond input supply current limits. At no load, Burst
Mode
®
operation cuts V
IN
quiescent current to 16µA.
With its integrated
V
IN
shunt regulator, the LTC3255
excels in 4mA to 20mA current loop applications. The
device enables current multiplication; a 4mA input current
can power a 7.4mA load continuously. Alternatively, the
LTC3255 serves as a higher efficiency replacement for
linear regulators and provides a space-saving inductor-
free alternative to buck DC/DC converters.
The LTC3255 withstands reverse-polarity input supplies
and output short-circuits without
damage. Safety features
including current limit and overtemperature protection
further enhance robustness. The LTC3255 is available in
thermally enhanced 10-lead MSOP and low profile 3mm
× 3mm 10-lead DFN packages.

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: All voltages are referenced to GND unless otherwise specified.
Note 3: The LTC3255E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C operating junction temperature. Specifications over
the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by
design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls.
The LTC3255I is guaranteed over the –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range. The LTC3255H is guaranteed over the –40°C to 150°C
operating junction temperature range. The LTC3255MP is guaranteed over
the –55°C to 150°C operating junction temperature range. High junction
temperatures degrade operating lifetimes; operating lifetime is derated
for junction temperatures greater than 125°C. Note that
the maximum
ambient temperature consistent with these specifications is determined by
specific operating conditions in conjunction with board layout, the rated
package thermal resistance and other environmental factors.
The junction temperature (T
J
, in °C) is calculated from the ambient
temperature (T
A
, in °C) and power dissipation (P
D
, in Watts) according to
the formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
θ
JA
)
where θ
JA
(in °C/W) is the package thermal impedance.
Note 4: The LTC3255 has an internal diode that conducts whenever V
OUT
is pulled below GND. When so pulled, absolute maximum current out of
V
OUT
is 50mA.
Note 5: The LTC3255 has an internal diode that conducts whenever
PGOOD is pulled below GND. When so pulled, absolute maximum current
out
of PGOOD is 100µA.
Note 6: This IC has overtemperature protection that is intended to protect
the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction temperatures
will exceed 150°C when overtemperature protection is active. Continuous
operation above the specified maximum operating junction temperature
may impair device reliability.
Note 7: This IC has input overvoltage protection that shuts down the
device whenever V
IN
exceeds the specified input voltage range. Shutdown
typically occurs when V
IN
exceeds 52V. V
IN
subsequently must fall below
50V (typical) for the IC to re-enable.
