DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
3522 combines a 400mA buck-boost DC/DC con-
verter with a 200mA synchronous buck DC/DC converter in
a tiny 3mm
×
3mm package. The 1MHz switching frequency
minimizes the solution footprint while maintaining high
efficiency. Both converters feature internal soft-start and
compensation, simplifying the design process.
The buck converter is current mode controlled and utilizes
an internal synchronous rectifier for high efficiency. The
buck converter supports 100% duty cycle operation to
extend battery life. If the PWM pin is held low, the buck
converter automatically transitions from Burst Mode opera-
tion to PWM mode. With the PWM pin held high, the buck
converter remains in low noise, 1MHz PWM mode.
The buck-boost converter provides continuous conduc-
tion operation to maximize efficiency and minimize noise.
At light loads, the buck-boost converter can be placed in
Burst Mode operation to improve efficiency and reduce
no-load standby current.
The LTC3522 provides a 1μA shutdown mode, overtem-
perature shutdown and current limit protection on both
converters. The LTC3522 is available in a 16-pin low profile
3mm

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 LTC3522 is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
Note 3:
Current measurements are performed when the LTC3522 is not
switching. The current limit values in operation will be somewhat higher
due to the propagation delay of the comparators.

Note 4:
The LTC3522 is tested in a proprietary non-switching test mode
that connects each FB pin to the output of the respective error amplifier.
Note 5:
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.
