Step-Down DC/DC Regulator
The LTC
®
3548 is a dual, constant-frequency, synchronous
step down DC/DC converter. Intended for low power ap-
plications, it operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage
range and has a constant 2.25MHz switching frequency,
allowing the use of tiny, low cost capacitors and inductors
with a profi le ≤1mm. Each output voltage is adjustable
from 0.6V to 5V. Internal synchronous 0.35Ω, 0.7A/1.2A
power switches provide high effi ciency without the need
for external Schottky diodes.
A user selectable mode input is provided to allow the user
to trade-off noise ripple for low power effi ciency. Burst
Mode operation provides high effi ciency at light loads,
while pulse-skipping mode provides low noise ripple at
light loads.
To further maximize battery runtime, the P-channel
MOSFETs are turned on continuously in dropout (100%
duty cycle), and both channels draw a total quiescent cur-
rent of only 40μA. In shutdown, the device draws <1μA.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
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 LTC3548 is guaranteed to meet specifi ed performance from
0°C to 85°C. Specifi cations over the – 40°C to 85°C operating temperature
range are assured by design, characterization and correlation with
statistical process controls. The LTC3548I is guaranteed to meet specifi ed
performance over the full –40°C to 85°C temperature range.
Note 3: The LTC3548 is tested in a proprietary test mode that connects V
FB
to the output of the error amplifi er.
Note 4: Dynamic supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge
being delivered at the switching frequency.
Note 5: T
J
is calculated from the ambient T
A
and power dissipation P
D
according to the following formula: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
θ
JA
).
Note 6: The DFN switch on-resistance is guaranteed by correlation to
wafer level measurements.
