The LT C
®
3440 is a high efficiency, fixed frequency, Buck-
Boost DC/DC converter that operates from input voltages
above, below or equal to the output voltage. The topology
incorporated in the IC provides a continuous transfer
function through all operating modes, making the prod-
uct ideal for single lithium-ion, multicell alkaline or NiMH
applications where the output voltage is within the battery
voltage range.
The device includes two 0.19Ω N-channel MOSFET
switches and two 0.22Ω P-channel switches. Switch-
ing frequencies up to 2MHz are programmed with an
external resistor and the oscillator can be synchronized
to an external clock. Quiescent current is only 25µA in
Burst Mode operation, maximizing battery life in portable
applications. Burst Mode operation is user controlled and
can be enabled by driving the MODE/SYNC pin high. If the
MODE/SYNC pin has either a clock or is driven low, then
fixed frequency switching is enabled.
Other features include a 1µA shutdown, soft-start con-
trol, thermal shutdown and current limit. The LTC3440
is available in the 10-pin thermally enhanced MSOP and
(3mm × 3mm) DFN packages.

electrical characteristics
Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the
life of the device may be impaired.
Note 2: The LTC3440E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the – 4C to 8C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls.
Note 3: Current measurements are performed when the outputs are not
switching.
