DC/DC converter with an extended input and output range.
The unique 4-switch, single inductor architecture provides
low noise and seamless operation from input voltages
above, below or equal to the output voltage.
With an input range of 2.7V to 15V, the LTC3112 is well-
suited for a wide variety of single or multiple cell battery,
backup capacitor or wall adapter source applications. Low
R
DS(ON)
internal N-Channel MOSFET switches provide
highly efficient operation in applications with higher load
current requirements.
The LTC3112 features selectable PWM or Burst Mode
operation, an easily synchronized oscillator and output
disconnect in shutdown. An output current monitor circuit
allows the load current to be controlled or measured. Other
features include <1µA shutdown current, short circuit
protection, soft-start, current limit and thermal shutdown.
The LTC3112 is offered in both a 16-pin (4mm

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 LTC3112 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that T
J
≈ T
A
.
The LTC3112E is guaranteed to meet specifications from 0°C to 85°C junction
temperature. Specifications over the –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation with
statistical process controls. The LTC3112I is guaranteed to meet specifications
over the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature, the LTC3112H is
guaranteed to meet specifications over the –40°C to 150°C operating junction
temperature range and the LTC3112MP is guaranteed and tested to meet
specifications over the full –55°C to 150°C operating junction temperature
range. High junction temperatures degrade operating lifetimes; operating
lifetime is derated for temperature greater than 125°C. Note that the maximum
ambient temperature consistent with these specifications is determined by
specific operating conditions in conjunction with board layout, the rated
package thermal impedance and other environmental factors.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 3:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 150°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 4:
Voltage transients on the switch pins beyond the DC limit specified
in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, are non disruptive to normal operation
when using good layout practices, as shown on the demo board or
described in the data sheet and application notes.
Note 5:
I
OUT
current is tested in a non-switching DC state. In a switching
environment I
OUT
accuracy may exhibit variation with factors such as
switching frequency, load current, input/output voltage, and temperature.
See typical performance characteristic curves for predicted variation.
Note 6:
The junction temperature (T
J
, in °C) is calculated from the ambient
temperature (T
A
, in °C) and power dissipation (P
D
, in Watts) according to
the formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
•
q
JA
), where
q
JA
(in °C/W) is the package thermal
impedance.
Note 7:
SYNC frequency range is tested with a square wave. Operation
with 100ns minimum high or low times is assured by design.
