step down DC/DC converter for medium power applications.
The design consists of 2A and 1A primary output switches.
In addition to the 2A/1A capability, a 1A dependant output
switch can be externally connected to either of the primary
outputs to produce 3A/1A dual regulator or 2A/2A dual
regulator configurations.
Supply operation is from 2.3V to 5.5V. The switching fre-
quency can be set to 2.25MHz, adjustable from 0.75MHz
to 4MHz, or synchronized to an external clock. Each
output is adjustable from 0.6V to 5V and has output
tracking on power-up. Internal synchronous low R
DS(ON)
power switches provide high efficiency without external
Schottky diodes.
User-selectable modes (Burst Mode
®
operation, pulse
skipping and forced continuous) allow a trade-off between
ripple noise and power efficiency. Burst Mode operation
provides high efficiency at light loads. Pulse-skipping
mode provides low ripple noise at light loads.
The device is capable of low dropout configurations and
both channels can operate at 100% duty cycle. In shut-
down, 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 LTC3546 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTC3546E 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 LTC3546I is guaranteed
to meet performance specifications over the full –40°C to 125°C operating
junction temperature range. The maximum ambient temperature
consistent with these specifications is determined by specific operating
conditions in conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal
impedance and other environmental factors.
Note 3:
The LTC3546 is tested in feedback loop which servos V
FB1
to the
midpoint for the error amplifier (V
ITH1
= 0.6V) and V
FB2
to the midpoint for
the error amplifier (V
ITH2
= 0.6V).
Note 4:
Total supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency.
Note 5:
Variable frequency operation with resistor is guaranteed by design
and is subject to duty cycle limitations.
Note 6:
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.
Note 7:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature, T
A
, and power
dissipation, P
D
, according to the following formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 34°C/W)
