The LTC
®
3547B is a dual, 2.25MHz, constant-frequency,
synchronous step-down DC/DC converter in a tiny 3mm ×
2mm DFN package. 100% duty cycle provides low drop-
out operation, extending battery life in portable systems.
Low output voltages are supported with the 0.6V feed-
back reference voltage. Each regulator can supply 300mA
continuous output current.
The input voltage range is 2.5V to 5.5V, making it ideal
for Li-Ion polymer and USB powered applications. Supply
current is only 1μA in shutdown.
An internally set 2.25MHz switching frequency allows the
use of tiny surface mount inductors and capacitors. Inter-
nal soft-start reduces inrush current during start-up. All
outputs are internally compensated to work with ceramic
capacitors. The LTC3547B is available in a low profi le
(0.75mm) 3mm × 2mm DFN package. The LTC3547B
is also available in a fi xed output voltage confi guration
selected via internal resistor dividers (see Table 2).
