The LTC

3406B-2 is a high efficiency monolithic synchro-
nous buck regulator using a constant frequency, current
mode architecture. Supply current with no load is 350µA,
dropping to <1µA in shutdown. The 2.5V to 5.5V input
voltage range makes the LTC3406B-2 ideally suited for
single Li-Ion battery-powered applications. 100% duty
cycle capability provides low dropout operation, extend-
ing battery life in portable systems. PWM pulse skipping
mode operation provides very low output ripple voltage for
noise sensitive applications.
The switching frequency is internally set at 2.25MHz, allow-
ing the use of tiny surface mount inductors and capacitors.
The internal synchronous switch increases efficiency and
eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode. Low
output voltages are easily supported with the 0.6V feedback
reference voltage. The LTC3406B-2 is available in a low pro-
file (1mm) SOT-23 package. Refer to LTC3406 for appli-
cations that require Burst Mode
