Uses Tiny Capacitors and Inductor
The LTC®3411A is a constant frequency, synchronous n
High Frequency Operation: Up to 4MHz
step-down DC/DC converter. Intended for medium power n
Low RDS(ON) Internal Switches: 0.15Ω
applications, it operates from a 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage n
High Efficiency: Up to 96%
range and has a user configurable operating frequency up n
Selectable Low Ripple (25mVP-P) Burst Mode®
to 4MHz, allowing the use of tiny, low cost capacitors and
Operation: IQ = 40µA
inductors 1mm or less in height. The output voltage is n Stable with Ceramic Capacitors adjustable from 0.8V to 5.5V. Internal synchronous power n Current Mode Operation for Excellent Line switches provide high efficiency. The LTC3411A’s current and Load Transient Response mode architecture and external compensation allow the n Short-Circuit Protected transient response to be optimized over a wide range of n Low Dropout Operation: 100% Duty Cycle loads and output capacitors. n Low Shutdown Current: IQ ≤ 1µA The LTC3411A can be configured for automatic power n Output Voltages from 0.8V to 5V saving Burst Mode operation (I n Q = 40µA) to reduce gate Synchronizable to External Clock charge losses when the load current drops below the level n Supports Pre-Biased Outputs required for continuous operation. For reduced noise and n Small 10-Lead 3mm × 3mm DFN or MSOP Package RF interference, the SYNC/MODE pin can be configured to

skip pulses or provide forced continuous operation. To further maximize battery life, the P-channel MOSFET n Notebook Computers is turned on continuously in dropout (100% duty cycle). n Digital Cameras In shutdown, the device draws <1µA. n Cellular Phones L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology, the Linear logo, Burst Mode and OPTI-LOOP are n Handheld Instruments registered trademarks and Hot Swap and ThinSOT are trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
