LTC3419 Dual Monolithic 600mA Synchronous Step-Down Regulator FEATURESDESCRIPTION n High Effi ciency Dual Step-Down Outputs: Up to 96% The LTC®3419 is a dual, 2.25MHz, constant-frequency, n 600mA Current per Channel at VIN = 3V synchronous step-down DC/DC converter in a tiny n Only 35μA Quiescent Current During Operation 3mm × 3mm DFN package. 100% duty cycle provides (Both Channels) low dropout operation, extending battery life in portable n 2.25MHz Constant-Frequency Operation systems. Low output voltages are supported with the 0.6V n 2.5V to 5.5V Input Voltage Range feedback reference voltage. Each regulator can supply n Low Dropout Operation: 100% Duty Cycle 600mA output current. n No Schottky Diodes Required The input voltage range is 2.5V to 5.5V, making it ideal n Internally Compensated for All Ceramic Capacitors for Li-Ion and USB powered applications. Supply current n Independent Internal Soft-Start for Each Channel during operation is only 35μA and drops to <1μA in n Available in Fixed Output Versions shutdown. A user-selectable mode input allows the user n Current Mode Operation for Excellent Line and Load to trade off between high effi ciency Burst Mode operation Transient Response and pulse-skipping mode. n 0.6V Reference Allows Low Output Voltages n User-Selectable Burst Mode® Operation An internally set 2.25MHz switching frequency allows the n Short-Circuit Protected use of tiny surface mount inductors and capacitors. Internal n Ultralow Shutdown Current: I soft-start reduces inrush current during start-up. Both Q < 1μA n Available in Small MSOP or 3mm × 3mm DFN-8 outputs are internally compensated to work with ceramic Packages output capacitors. The LTC3419 is available in a low profi le (0.75mm) 3mm × 3mm DFN package. The LTC3419 is also APPLICATIONS available in a fi xed output voltage confi guration selected via internal resistor dividers (see Table 2). n Cellular Telephones , LT, LTC and LTM are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation. n Digital Still Cameras Burst Mode is a registered trademark of Linear Technology Corporation.
