DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
3454 is a synchronous buck-boost DC/DC
converter optimized for driving a single high power LED
at currents up to 1A from a single cell Li-Ion battery in-
put. The regulator operates in either synchronous buck,
synchronous boost, or buck-boost mode depending on
input voltage and LED forward voltage. P

efficiency
greater than 90% can be achieved over the entire usable
range of a Li-Ion battery (2.7V to 4.2V).
LED current is programmable to one of four levels, includ-
ing shutdown, with dual external resistors and dual enable
inputs. In shutdown no supply current is drawn.
A high constant operating frequency of 1MHz allows the
use of small external components. The LTC3454 is offered
in a low profile (0.75mm) thermally enhanced 10-lead
(3mm
×
3mm) DFN package.

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 LTC3454 is guaranteed to meet 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.
