LTC3547
Dual Monolithic
300mA Synchronous
Step-Down Regulator
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC
®
3547 is a dual, 2.25MHz, constant-frequency,
synchronous step-down DC/DC converter in a tiny 3mm
×
2mm DFN package. 100% duty cycle provides low drop-
out operation, extending battery life in portable systems.
Low output voltages are supported with the 0.6V feed-
back reference voltage. Each regulator can supply 300mA
continuous output current.
The input voltage range is 2.5V to 5.5V, making it ideal for
Li-Ion and USB powered applications. Supply current dur-
ing operation is only 40µA and drops to < 1µA in shutdown.
Automatic Burst Mode
®
operation increases efficiency at
light loads, further extending battery life.
An internally set 2.25MHz switching frequency allows
the use of tiny surface mount inductors and capacitors.
Internal soft-start reduces inrush current during start-
up. All outputs are internally compensated to work with
ceramic capacitors. The LTC3547 is available in a low
profile (0.75mm) 3mm
×
2mm DFN package. The LTC3547
is also available in a fixed output voltage configuration,
eliminating the need for the external feedback networks
(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:
The LTC3547E is 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 3:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge
being delivered at the switching frequency.
Note 4:
The DFN switch on-resistance is guaranteed by correlation to
wafer level measurements.
Note 5:
Guaranteed by long term current density limitations.
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.
