monolithic synchronous buck regulators using a constant
frequency, current mode architecture. The regulators op-
erate independently with separate run pins. The 2.25V to
5.5V input voltage range makes the LTC3545/LTC3545-1
well suited for single Li-Ion battery-powered applications.
Low ripple pulse skip mode or high efficiency Burst Mode
operation is externally selectable. PWM pulse skip mode
operation provides very low output ripple voltage while
Burst Mode operation increases efficiency at low output
loads.
Switching frequency is internally set to 2.25MHz, or the
switching frequency can be synchronized to an external
1MHz to 3MHz clock. Power good indicators easily allow
power on sequencing between the three regulators.
The internal synchronous switches increase efficiency and
eliminate external Schottky diodes. Low output voltages are
supported with the 0.6V feedback reference voltage.
The LTC3545-1 replaces the SYNC/MODE function with a
third PGOOD pin and forces Burst Mode operation.
