LTC3565 1.25A, 4MHz, Synchronous Step-Down DC/DC Converter FEATURESDESCRIPTION n High Efficiency: Up to 95% The LTC®3565 is a constant frequency, synchronous n VIN Range: 2.5V to 5.5V step-down DC/DC converter. Intended for medium power n High Frequency Operation: Up to 4MHz applications, it operates from a 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage n Selectable Low Ripple (Typical 25mVp-p) range and has a user-configurable operating frequency up Burst Mode® Operation: IQ = 40µA to 4MHz, allowing the use of tiny, low cost capacitors and n Stable with Ceramic Capacitors inductors 1mm or less in height. The output voltage is n Uses Tiny Capacitors and Inductor adjustable from 0.6V to 5.5V. Internal synchronous power n Low RDS(ON) Internal Switches: 0.15Ω switches provide high efficiency. The LTC3565’s current n Current Mode Operation for Excellent Line mode architecture and external compensation allow the and Load Transient Response transient response to be optimized over a wide range of n Short-Circuit Protected loads and output capacitors. n Low Dropout Operation: 100% Duty Cycle The LTC3565 can be configured for automatic power n Low Shutdown Current: IQ ≤ 1µA saving Burst Mode operation (I n Q = 40µA) to reduce gate Output Voltages from 0.6V to 5V charge losses when the load current drops below the level n Synchronizable to External Clock required for continuous operation. For reduced noise and n Supports Pre-Biased Outputs RF interference, the SYNC/MODE pin can be configured to n Small 10-Lead (3mm × 3mm) DFN or MSOP Package skip pulses or provide forced continuous operation. APPLICATIONS To further maximize battery life, the P-channel MOSFET is turned on continuously in dropout (100% duty cycle). n Notebook Computers In shutdown, the device draws <1µA. n Digital Cameras L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology the Linear logo, Burst Mode and OPTI-LOOP are registered n trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
