TYPICAL APPLICATION
FEATURES DESCRIPTION
20V High Efficiency
Nanopower
Step-Down Regulator
The LTC
®
3388-1/LTC3388-3 are high efficiency step-down
DC/DC converters with internal high side and synchronous
power switches that draw only 720nA typical DC supplycur-
rent at no load while maintaining output voltage regulation.
Capable of supplying 50mA of load current, the LTC3388-1/
LTC3388-3 also incorporate an accurate undervoltage
lockout (UVLO) feature to disable the converter and main-
tain a low quiescent current state when the input voltage
falls below 2.3V. In regulation, the LTC3388-1/LTC3388-3
enter a sleep state in which both input and output quies-
cent currents are minimal. The buck converter turns on
and off as needed to maintain regulation. An additional
standby mode disables buck switching while the output is
in regulation for short duration loads requiring low ripple.
Output voltages of 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V (LTC3388-1)
and 2.8V, 3.0V, 3.3V, 5.0V (LTC3388-3) are pin selectable.
The LTC3388-1/LTC3388-3 can operate with V
IN
up to 20V
while the no load quiescent current remains below 1µA.
