DescripTion
The
LTC
®
3115-2
is a high voltage monolithic synchronous
buck-boost DC/DC converter optimized for applications
subject to fast (<1ms) input voltage transients. For all other
applications, the LTC3115-1 is recommended. With its wide
2.7V to 40V input and output voltage ranges, the LTC3115-2
is well suited for use in a wide variety of automotive and
industrial power supplies. A proprietary low noise switch-
ing algorithm optimizes efficiency with input voltages that
are above, below or even equal to the output voltage and
ensures seamless transitions between operational modes.
Programmable frequency PWM mode operation provides
low noise, high efficiency operation and the ability to syn-
chronize switching to an external clock. Switching frequen-
cies up to 2MHz are supported to allow use of small value in-
ductors for miniaturization of the application circuit. Pin se-
lectable Burst Mode operation reduces standby current and
improves light load efficiency which, combined with a 3µA
shutdown current, make the LTC3115-2 ideally suited for
battery-powered applications. Additional features include
output disconnect in shutdown, short-circuit protection
and internal soft-start. The LTC3115-2 is available in ther-
mally enhanced 16-lead 4mm

0.75mm DFN and

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 LTC3115-2 is tested under pulsed load conditions such
that T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTC3115E-2 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 ensured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The
LTC3115I-2 specifications are guaranteed over the –40°C to 125°C
operating junction temperature range. The LTC3115H-2 specifications are
guaranteed over the –40°C to 150°C operating junction temperature range.
The LTC3115MP-2 specifications are guaranteed over the –55°C to 150°C
operating junction temperature range. High junction temperatures degrade

operating lifetime; operating lifetime is derated for junction temperatures
greater than 125°C. The maximum ambient temperature consistent with
these specifications is determined by specific operating conditions in
conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal resistance and
other environmental factors.
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 following formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
•
θ
JA
)
where
θ
JA
is the thermal impedance of the package.
Note 3:
Current measurements are performed when the LTC3115-2 is
not switching. The current limit values measured in operation will be
somewhat higher due to the propagation delay of the comparators.
Note 4:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during momentary overload conditions. The maximum
rated junction temperature will be exceeded when this protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified absolute maximum operating
junction temperature may impair device reliability or permanently damage
the device.
Note 5:
Switch timing measurements are made in an open-loop test
configuration. Timing in the application may vary somewhat from these
values due to differences in the switch pin voltage during the non-overlap
durations when switch pin voltage is influenced by the magnitude and
direction of the inductor current.
