LTC3532
Micropower Synchronous
Buck-Boost DC/DC Converter
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC
®
3532 is a high efficiency, fixed frequency, buck-
boost DC/DC converter that operates from input voltages
above, below or equal to the output voltage. The topology
incorporated in the IC provides a continuous transfer
function through all operating modes, making the product
ideal for single lithium-ion, multicell alkaline or NiMH ap-
plications where the output voltage is within the battery
voltage range.
The device includes two 0.36Ω N-channel MOSFET
switches and two 0.42Ω P-channel switches. Switching
frequencies up to 2MHz are programmed with an external
resistor. Quiescent current is only 35μA in Burst Mode
operation, maximizing battery life in portable applica-
tions. Automatic Burst Mode operation allows the user
to program the load current for Burst Mode operation or
to control it manually.
Other features include a 1μA shutdown, soft-start control,
thermal shutdown, and peak current limit. The LTC3532 is
available in a low profile (0.75mm) 10-lead (3mm × 3mm)
DFN and 10-lead MSOP packages.

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 LTC3532E 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 correlations
with statistical process controls.
Note 3:
Current measurements are performed when the outputs are not
switching.
Note 4:
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 result in device degradation or failure.

BURST (Pin 2):
Used to Set the Automatic Burst Mode Op-
eration Threshold. Place a resistor and capacitor in parallel
from this pin to ground. See the Applications Information
section for component value selection. For manual control,
ground the pin to force Burst Mode operation, connect to
V

SW1 (Pin 3):
Switch Pin Where the Internal Switches A
and B are Connected. Connect inductor from SW1 to SW2.
An optional Schottky diode can be connected from SW1
to ground. Minimize trace length to minimize EMI.
SW2 (Pin 4):
Switch Pin Where the Internal Switches C
and D are Connected. For applications with output voltages
over 4.3V, a Schottky diode is required from SW2 to V
OUT
to ensure SW2 does not exhibit excess voltage.
GND (Pin 5):
Signal and Power Ground for the IC.
V
OUT
(Pin 6):
Output of the Synchronous Rectifier. A filter
capacitor is placed from V

to GND.
V
IN
(Pin 7):
Input Supply Pin. Supplies current to the
inductor through SW1 and supplies internal V
CC
for the
IC. A ceramic bypass capacitor as close to the V
IN
pin and
GND (Pin 5) is required.
