3.3V/2.5V Step-Up/
Step-Down Charge Pump
DC/DC Converter
The LTC
®
3240-3.3/LTC3240-2.5 are step-up/step-down
charge pump DC/DC converters that produce a fi xed
regulated output voltage of 3.3V or 2.5V over a wide input
voltage range (1.8V to 5.5V).
With input voltages greater than the regulated output
voltage the LTC3240 operates as a low dropout regulator.
Once the input voltage drops within 100mV of the regulated
output voltage the part automatically switches to step-up
mode. In step-up mode the LTC3240 operates as a constant
frequency (1.2MHz) doubling charge pump.
The LTC3240-3.3/LTC3240-2.5 feature low no load operat-
ing current (65µA typical) and ultralow operating current
in shutdown (<1µA). Built-in soft-start circuitry prevents
excessive inrush current during start-up. Thermal shut-
down and current-limit circuitry allow the parts to survive
a continuous short-circuit from V
OUT
to GND.
The LTC3240-3.3/LTC3240-2.5 require only three tiny
external ceramic capacitors for an ultrasmall application
footprint. The LTC3240-3.3/LTC3240-2.5 are available in a
6-pin (2mm × 2mm) DFN package.
