DESCRIPTION
Dual Monolithic 600mA
Synchronous Step-Down
Regulator
The LTC
®
3419 is a dual, 2.25MHz, constant-frequency,
synchronous step-down DC/DC converter in a tiny
3mm × 3mm DFN package. 100% duty cycle provides
low dropout operation, extending battery life in portable
systems. Low output voltages are supported with the 0.6V
feedback reference voltage. Each regulator can supply
600mA output current.
The input voltage range is 2.5V to 5.5V, making it ideal
for Li-Ion and USB powered applications. Supply current
during operation is only 35μA and drops to <1μA in
shutdown. A user-selectable mode input allows the user
to trade off between high effi ciency Burst Mode operation
and pulse-skipping mode.
An internally set 2.25MHz switching frequency allows the
use of tiny surface mount inductors and capacitors. Internal
soft-start reduces inrush current during start-up. Both
outputs are internally compensated to work with ceramic
output capacitors. The LTC3419 is available in a low profi le
(0.75mm) 3mm × 3mm DFN package. The LTC3419 is also
available in a fi xed output voltage confi guration selected
via internal resistor dividers (see Table 2).
