DescripTion
400mA/800mA Synchronous
Step-Down DC/DC with
Average Input Current Limit
The LT C
®
3619 is a dual monolithic synchronous buck
regulator using a constant frequency, current mode
architecture.
The input supply voltage range is 2.5V to 5.5V, making it
ideal for Li-Ion and USB powered applications. 100% duty
cycle capability provides low dropout operation, extend-
ing the run time in battery-operated systems. Low output
voltages are supported with the 0.6V feedback reference
voltage. Channel 1 and channel 2 can supply 400mA and
800mA output current, respectively.
The LTC3619’s programmable average input current limit
is ideal for USB applications and for point-of-load power
supplies because the LTC3619’s limited input current will
still allow its output to deliver high peak load currents
without collapsing the input supply. When the sum of both
channels’ currents exceeds the input current limit, channel 2
is current limited while channel 1 remains regulated. The
operating frequency is internally set at 2.25MHz allowing
the use of small surface mount inductors. Internal soft-start
reduces in-rush current during start-up. The LTC3619 is
available in small MSOP and 3mm × 3mm DFN packages
and is also available in a
low noise
, high efficiency pulse-
skipping version, LTC3619B.
