The LTC
®
3410 is a high efficiency monolithic synchro-
nous buck regulator using a constant frequency, current
mode architecture. The device is available in adjustable
and fixed output voltage versions. Supply current during
operation is only 26µA, dropping to <1µA in shutdown.
The 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage range makes the LTC3410
ideally suited for single Li-Ion battery-powered applica-
tions. 100% duty cycle provides low dropout operation,
extending battery life in portable systems.
Switching frequency is internally set at 2.25MHz, allowing
the use of small surface mount inductors and capacitors.
The LTC3410 is specifically designed to work well with
ceramic output capacitors, achieving very low output
voltage ripple and a small PCB footprint.
The internal synchronous switch increases efficiency and
eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode. Low
output voltages are easily supported with the 0.8V feed-
back reference voltage. The LTC3410 is available in a tiny,
low profile SC70 package.
