3542fa
500mA, 2.25MHz
Synchronous Step-Down
DC/DC Converter
The LTC
®
3542 is a high effi ciency monolithic synchronous
buck converter using a constant frequency, current mode
architecture. Supply current during operation is only
26μA, dropping to <1μA in shutdown. The 2.5V to 5.5V
input voltage range makes the LTC3542 ideally suited for
single Li-Ion battery-powered applications. 100% duty
cycle provides low dropout operation, extending battery
life in portable systems. The output voltage is adjustable
from 0.6V to V
IN
. Internal power switches are optimized
to provide high effi ciency and eliminate the need for an
external Schottky diode.
Switching frequency is internally set at 2.25MHz, allowing
the use of small surface mount inductors and capacitors,
and it can synchronize to an external clock signal with a
frequency range of 1MHz to 3MHz through the MODE/
SYNC pin. The LTC3542 is specifi cally designed to work
well with ceramic output capacitors, achieving very low
output voltage ripple and a small PCB footprint.
The LTC3542 can be confi gured for the power saving Burst
Mode
®
Operation. For reduced noise and RF interference,
the MODE/SYNC pin can be confi gured for pulse skipping
operation.

TYPICAL PERFORMANCE 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. No pin should exceed 6V.
Note 2: The LTC3542 is guaranteed to meet performance specifi cations
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifi cations over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls. The LTC3542I is guaranteed over the full
–40°C to 125°C operating temperature range.
Note 3: Failure to solder the Exposed Pad of the package to the PC board
will result in a thermal resistance much higher than 102°C/W.

Note 4: The converter is tested in a proprietary test mode that connects
the output of the error amplifi er to the SW pin, which is connected to an
external servo loop.
Note 5: Dynamic supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge
being delivered at the switching frequency.
Note 6: The DFN switch on resistance is guaranteed by correlation to wafer
level measurements.
