The LTC
®
3405A-1.5/LTC3405A-1.8 are high efficiency
monolithic synchronous buck regulators using a constant
frequency, current mode architecture. Supply current
during operation is only 20µA and drops to <1µA in
shutdown. The 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage range makes the
LTC3405A-1.5/LTC3405A-1.8 ideally suited for single
Li-Ion battery-powered applications. 100% duty cycle
provides low dropout operation, extending battery life in
portable systems.
Switching frequency is internally set at 1.5MHz, allowing
the use of small surface mount inductors and capacitors.
The LTC3405A-1.5/LTC3405A-1.8 are specifically designed
to work well with ceramic output capacitors, achieving
very low output voltage ripple and a small PCB footprint.
The internal synchronous switch increases efficiency and
eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode. The
LTC3405A-1.5/LTC3405A-1.8 are available in a low profile
(1mm) ThinSOT package.
For adjustable output voltage, refer to the LTC3405A data
sheet.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LTC3405AE is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
Note 3:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation P
D
according to the following formula:
LTC3405A: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
)(250°C/W)
Note 4:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency.

RUN (Pin 1):
Run Control Input. Forcing this pin above
1.5V enables the part. Forcing this pin below 0.3V shuts
down the device. In shutdown, all functions are disabled
drawing <1µA supply current. Do not leave RUN floating.
GND (Pin 2):
Ground Pin.
SW (Pin 3):
Switch Node Connection to Inductor. This pin
connects to the drains of the internal main and synchro-

V
OUT

Output Voltage Feedback Pin. An internal
resistive divider divides the output voltage down for com-
parison to the internal 1.2V reference voltage.
MODE (Pin 6):
Mode Select Input. To select pulse skip-
ping mode, tie to V
