The LTC
®
3412A is a high efficiency monolithic synchro-
nous, step-down DC/DC converter utilizing a constant
frequency, current mode architecture. It operates from an
input voltage range of 2.25V to 5.5V and provides a
regulated output voltage from 0.8V to 5V while delivering
up to 3A of output current. The internal synchronous
power switch with 77mΩ on-resistance increases effi-
ciency and eliminates the need for an external Schottky
diode. Switching frequency is set by an external resistor or
can be synchronized to an external clock. 100% duty cycle
provides low dropout operation extending battery life in
portable systems. OPTI-LOOP
®
compensation allows the
transient response to be optimized over a wide range of
loads and output capacitors.
The LTC3412A can be configured for either Burst Mode
operation or forced continuous operation. Forced continu-
ous operation reduces noise and RF interference while
Burst Mode operation provides high efficiency by reduc-
ing gate charge losses at light loads. In Burst Mode
operation, external control of the burst clamp level allows
the output voltage ripple to be adjusted according to the
application requirements.

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 LTC3412AE 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. The LTC3412I is guaranteed to meet
specified performance over the full – 40°C to 85°C operating temperature
range.
Note 3:
The LTC3412A is tested in a feedback loop that adjusts V
FB
to
achieve a specified error amplifier output voltage (I
TH
).
Note 4:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge
being delivered at the switching frequency.
Note 5:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation as follows: LTC3412AFE: T
J
= T
A
+ P
D
(38°C/W)
LTC3412AEUF: T
J
= T
A
+ P
D
(34°C/W)
Note 6:
4MHz operation is guaranteed by design and not production tested.
Note 7:
Switch on resistance is guaranteed by design and test condition in
the UF package and by final test correlation in the FE package.
