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 LTC3411A’s current
mode architecture and external compensation allow the
transient response to be optimized over a wide range of
loads and output capacitors.
The LTC3411A can be configured for automatic power
saving Burst Mode operation (I
Q
= 40μA) to reduce gate
charge losses when the load current drops below the level
required for continuous operation. For reduced noise and
RF interference, 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).
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 LTC3411AE is guaranteed to meet 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
LTC3411AI is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range.
Note 3:
The LTC3411A 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:
LTC3411AEDD: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 43°C/W)
LTC3411AEMS: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 120°C/W)
Note 6:
For the DD package, 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 temperature may impair device reliability.
