The LTC
®
3405A-1.375 is a high efficiency monolithic
synchronous buck regulator using a constant frequency,
current mode architecture. Supply current during opera-
tion is only 20µA and drops to <1µA in shutdown. The 2.5V
to 5.5V input voltage range makes the LTC3405A-1.375
ideally suited for single Li-Ion battery-powered applica-
tions. 100% duty cycle provides low dropout operation,
extending battery life in portable systems.
Switching frequency is internally set at 1.5MHz, allowing
the use of small surface mount inductors and capacitors.
The LTC3405A-1.375 is specifically designed to work well
with ceramic output capacitors, achieving very low output
voltage ripple and a small PCB footprint.
The internal synchronous switch increases efficiency and
eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode. The
LTC3405A-1.375 is available in a low profile (1mm)
ThinSOT package.
For other output voltages, refer to the LTC3405A and
LTC3405A-1.5/LTC3405A-1.8 data sheets.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LTC3405A-1.375 is guaranteed to meet performance
specifications from 0°C to 70°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:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation P
D
according to the following formula:
LTC3405A-1.375: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
)(250°C/W)
Note 4:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency.

RUN (Pin 1):
Run Control Input. Forcing this pin above
1.5V enables the part. Forcing this pin below 0.3V shuts
down the device. In shutdown, all functions are disabled
drawing <1µA supply current. Do not leave RUN floating.
GND (Pin 2):
Ground Pin.
SW (Pin 3):
Switch Node Connection to Inductor. This pin
connects to the drains of the internal main and synchro-
nous power MOSFET switches.
V
IN
(Pin 4):
Main Supply Pin. Must be closely decoupled
to GND, Pin 2, with a 2.2µF or greater ceramic capacitor.
V
OUT
(Pin 5):
Output Voltage Feedback Pin. An internal
resistive divider divides the output voltage down for com-
parison to the internal 0.9V reference voltage.
MODE (Pin 6):
Mode Select Input. To select pulse skip-
ping mode, tie to V
IN
. Grounding this pin selects Burst
Mode operation. Do not leave this pin floating.
