step-down DC/DC converter. Intended for medium power
applications, it operates from a 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage
range and has a user configurable operating frequency up
to 4MHz, allowing the use of tiny, low cost capacitors and
inductors 1mm or less in height. The output voltage is
adjustable from 0.8V to 5.5V. Internal synchronous power
switches provide high efficiency. The LTC3561A’s current
mode architecture and external compensation allow the
transient response to be optimized over a wide range of
loads and output capacitors.
To further maximize battery life, the P-channel MOSFET
is turned on continuously in dropout (100% duty cycle).
In shutdown, the device draws <1µA.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
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 LTC3561AEDD is guaranteed to meet specified performance
specifications from 0°C to 85°C junction temperature. Specifications over
the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by
design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls.
The LTC3561AIDD is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating
junction temperature range.
Note 3:
The LTC3561A is tested in a feedback loop which servos V
FB
to the
midpoint for the error amplifier (V
ITH
= 0.7V).
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 T
A
and power dissipation P
D
according to the following formulas:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 43°C/W)
Note 6:
Switch on-resistance is sampled at wafer level measurements and
assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process
controls.
Note 7:
4MHz operation is guaranteed by design but not production tested
and is subject to duty cycle limitations (see Applications Information).
Note 8:
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
