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 2mm or less in height. The output voltage
is adjustable from 0.8V to 5V. Internal sychronous 0.11Ω
power switches with 2.4A peak current ratings provide
high efficiency. The LTC3568’s current mode architecture
and external compensation allow the transient response
to be optimized over a wide range of loads and output
capacitors.
The LTC3568 can be configured for automatic power sav-
ing Burst Mode operation to reduce gate charge losses
when the load current drops below the level required for
continuous operation. For reduced noise and RF interfer-
ence, the SYNC/MODE pin can be configured to skip pulses
or provide forced continuous operation.
To further maximize battery life, the P-channel MOSFET
is turned on continuously in dropout (100% duty cycle)
with a low quiescent current of 60µA. In shutdown, the
device draws <1µA.

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 LTC3568 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that T
J
=
T
A
. The LTC3568E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications from
0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls. The LTC3568I is guaranteed over the
full –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range. The maximum
ambient temperature is determined by specific operating conditions in
conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal resistors and
other environmental factors.
Note 3:
The LTC3568 is tested in a feedback loop which servos V
FB
to the
midpoint for the error amplifier (V
ITH
= 0.6V).
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 formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 43°C/W)
Note 6:
Switch on-resistance is guaranteed by correlation to wafer level
measurements.
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.
