The LTC
®
3404 is a high efficiency monolithic synchro-
nous buck regulator using a constant frequency, current
mode architecture. Supply current during operation is
only 10μA and drops to < 1μA in shutdown. The 2.65V to
6V input voltage range makes the LTC3404 ideally suited
for single Li-Ion battery-powered applications. 100% duty
cycle provides low dropout operation, extending battery
life in portable systems.
Switching frequency is internally set at 1.4MHz, allowing
the use of small surface mount inductors and capacitors.
For noise sensitive applications the LTC3404 can be
externally synchronized from 1MHz to 1.7MHz. Burst
Mode operation is inhibited during synchronization or
when the SYNC/MODE pin is pulled low, preventing low
frequency ripple from interfering with audio circuitry.
The internal synchronous switch increases efficiency and
eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode. Low
output voltages are easily supported with the 0.8V feed-
back reference voltage. The LTC3404 is available in a
space saving 8-lead MSOP package.
For higher input voltage (11V abs max) applications, refer
to the LTC1877 data sheet.

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.
Note 2: The LTC3404E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls. The LTC3404I is guaranteed to meet
performance specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating temperature
range. The LTC3404MP is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
over the –55°C to 125°C operating temperature range.
Note 3: T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation P
D
according to the following formulas:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
)(150°C/W)
Note 4: The LTC3404 is tested in a feedback loop which servos V
FB
to the
balance point for the error amplifier (V
ITH
= 1.2V).
Note 5: Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency.
