LTC1772 Constant Frequency Current Mode Step-Down DC/DC Controller in SOT-23 UFEATURESDESCRIPTIO ■ High Efficiency: Up to 94% The LTC®1772 is a constant frequency current mode step- ■ High Output Currents Easily Achieved down DC/DC controller providing excellent AC and DC load ■ Wide V and line regulation. The device incorporates an accurate IN Range: 2.5V to 9.8V ■ Constant Frequency 550kHz Operation undervoltage lockout feature that shuts down the LTC1772 ■ Burst Mode® Operation at Light Load when the input voltage falls below 2.0V. ■ Low Dropout: 100% Duty Cycle The LTC1772 provides a ±2.5% output voltage accuracy ■ Tiny 6-Lead SOT-23 Package and consumes only 270µA of quiescent current. For ■ 0.8V Reference Allows Low Output Voltages applications where efficiency is a prime consideration, the ■ Current Mode Operation for Excellent Line and Load LTC1772 is configured for Burst Mode operation, which Transient Response enhances efficiency at low output current. ■ Low Quiescent Current: 270µA ■ Shutdown Mode Draws Only 8 To further maximize the life of a battery source, the µA Supply Current ■ external P-channel MOSFET is turned on continuously in ±2.5% Reference Accuracy U dropout (100%dutycycle).In shutdown, the device draws APPLICATIO S a mere 8µA. High constant operating frequency of 550kHz allows the use of a small external inductor. ■ One or Two Lithium-Ion-Powered Applications ■ The LTC1772 is available in a small footprint 6-lead Cellular Telephones ■ SOT-23.
