LTC3419
Dual Monolithic 600mA
Synchronous Step-Down
Regulator
DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
3419 is a dual, 2.25MHz, constant-frequency,
synchronous step-down DC/DC converter in a tiny
3mm
×
3mm DFN package. 100% duty cycle provides
low dropout operation, extending battery life in portable
systems. Low output voltages are supported with the 0.6V
feedback reference voltage. Each regulator can supply
600mA output current.
The input voltage range is 2.5V to 5.5V, making it ideal
for Li-Ion and USB powered applications. Supply cur-
rent during operation is only 35μA and drops to <1μA in
shutdown. A user-selectable mode input allows the user
to trade off between high efficiency Burst Mode operation
and pulse-skipping mode.
An internally set 2.25MHz switching frequency allows the
use of tiny surface mount inductors and capacitors. Inter-
nal soft-start reduces inrush current during start-up. Both
outputs are internally compensated to work with ceramic
output capacitors. The LTC3419 is available in a low profile
(0.75mm) 3mm
×
3mm DFN package. The LTC3419 is also
available in a fixed output voltage configuration selected
via internal resistor dividers (see Table 2).

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
Guaranteed by long term current density limitations.
Note 3:
The LTC3419E and LTC3419E-1 are guaranteed to meet specified
performance from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C and 85°C
operating temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls.
Note 4:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge
being delivered at the switching frequency.
Note 5:
The DFN switch on-resistance is guaranteed by correlation to
wafer level measurements.
Note 6:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 7:
The converter is tested in a proprietary test mode that connects
the output of the error amplifier to the SW pin, which is connected to an
external servo loop.
