Constant Frequency
Step-Down DC/DC Controller
with LDO Regulator
The LTC
®
3700 is a constant frequency current mode step-
down (buck) DC/DC controller with excellent AC and DC
load and line regulation. The on-chip 150mA low dropout
(LDO) linear regulator can be powered from the buck
controller’s input supply, its own independent input supply
or the buck regulator’s output. The buck controller incor-
porates an undervoltage lockout feature that shuts down the
controller when the input voltage falls below 2.1V.
The buck regulator provides a ±2.5% output voltage accu-
racy. It consumes only 210µA of quiescent current in nor-
mal operation with the LDO consuming an additional 50µA.
In shutdown, a mere 10µA (combined) is consumed.
For applications where efficiency is a prime consideration,
the buck controller is configured for Burst Mode operation
which enhances efficiency at low output current. To fur-
ther maximize the life of a battery source, the external
P-channel MOSFET is turned on continuously in dropout
(100% duty cycle). High constant operating frequency of
550kHz allows the use of a small external inductor.
The LDO is protected by both current limit and thermal
shutdown circuits.
The LTC3700 is available in a tiny 10-pin MSOP.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2: The LTC3700 is guaranteed to meet specifications from␣ 0°C␣ to
70°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating temperature range
are assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical
process controls.
Note 3: T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation P
D
according to the following formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
θ
JA
°C/W)
Note 4: Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency.
Note 5: The LTC3700 is tested in a feedback loop that servos V
FB
to the
output of the error amplifier.
Note 6: Peak current sense voltage is reduced dependent on duty cycle to
a percentage of value as given in Figure 2.
Note 7: Guaranteed by design; not tested in production.
Note 8: PGOOD values are expressed as a percentage difference from the
respective “Regulated Feedback Voltage” as given in the table.
