DESCRIPTION
Ultralow Power 15mA
Synchronous Step-Down
Switching Regulator
The LTC
®
3620 is a high effi ciency, synchronous buck
regulator, suitable for very low power, very small footprint
applications powered by a single Li-Ion battery.
The internal synchronous switches increase effi ciency
and eliminate the need for external Schottky diodes. Low
output voltages are easily supported by the 0.6V feedback
reference voltage. The LTC3620-1 option is internally
programmed to provide a 1.1V output.
The LTC3620 uses a unique variable frequency architecture
to minimize power loss and achieve high effi ciency. The
switching frequency is proportional to the load current, and
an internal frequency clamp forces a minimum switching
frequency at light loads to minimize noise in the audio
range. The user can program the frequency of this clamp
by applying an external clock to the FMIN/MODE pin.
The battery status output, LOBATB, indicates when the
input voltage drops below 3V. To help prevent damage to
the battery, an undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit shuts
down the part if the input voltage falls below 2.8V.
The LTC3620 is available in a low profi le, 2mm × 2mm
8-lead DFN package.

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.

LTC3620E is guaranteed to meet specifi cations from 0°C to 85°C
junction temperature. Specifi cations over the –40°C to 85°C operating
junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls. Note that the maximum
ambient temperature consistent with these specifi cations is determined by
specifi c operating conditions in conjunction with board layout, the rated
