The LTC
®
3445 contains a high efficiency monolithic syn-
chronous current mode buck regulator, two LDO regula-
tors, a PowerPath
TM
controller and an I
2
C
TM
interface.
The buck regulator has a 6-bit programmable output range
of 0.85V to 1.55V. Also, the buck regulator uses either a
constant (1.5MHz) or a spread spectrum switching fre-
quency. Using the spread spectrum option allows for a
lower noise regulated output as well as low noise at the
input. In addition, the regulated output voltage slew rate is
programmable via the I
2
C interface.
The LTC3445 contains two LDO voltage regulators. The
regulator output voltages are externally resistor program-
mable. Each LDO is capable of delivering up to 50mA.
The LTC3445 contains control circuitry (PowerPath) for
automatic back-up battery selection. V
BACKUP
is typically
a coin cell.
Typical supply current during operation is only 360µA and
drops to 27µA in shutdown. The 2.5V to 5.5V input
voltage range makes the LTC3445 ideal for single Li-Ion
battery-powered applications. Automatic Burst Mode
®
operation increases efficiency at light loads, further ex-
tending battery life.
