Package
The LTC
®
3406B is a high efficiency monolithic synchro-
nous buck regulator using a constant frequency, current
mode architecture. The device is available in an adjustable
version and fixed output voltages of 1.5V and 1.8V. Supply
current with no load is 300µA and drops to <1µA in
shutdown. The 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage range makes the
LTC3406B ideally suited for single Li-Ion battery-powered
applications. 100% duty cycle provides low dropout op-
eration, extending battery life in portable systems. PWM
pulse skipping mode operation provides very low output
ripple voltage for noise sensitive applications.
Switching frequency is internally set at 1.5MHz, allowing
the use of small 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 feed-
back reference voltage. The LTC3406B is available in a low
profile (1mm) ThinSOT package. Refer to LTC3406 for
applications that require Burst Mode
