The LTC
®
3405A-1.5/LTC3405A-1.8 are high efficiency
monolithic synchronous buck regulators using a constant
frequency, current mode architecture. Supply current
during operation is only 20µA and drops to <1µA in
shutdown. The 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage range makes the
LTC3405A-1.5/LTC3405A-1.8 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 1.5MHz, allowing
the use of small surface mount inductors and capacitors.
The LTC3405A-1.5/LTC3405A-1.8 are specifically designed
to work well with ceramic output capacitors, achieving
very low output voltage ripple and a small PCB footprint.
The internal synchronous switch increases efficiency and
eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode. The
LTC3405A-1.5/LTC3405A-1.8 are available in a low profile
(1mm) ThinSOT package.
For adjustable output voltage, refer to the LTC3405A data
sheet.
