LTC3530

3530fb
Wide Input Voltage
Synchronous Buck-Boost
DC/DC Converter
The LTC
®
3530 is a wide V
IN
range, highly effi cient, xed
frequency, buck-boost DC/DC converter that operates
from input voltages above, below or equal to the output
voltage. The topology incorporated in the IC provides a
continuous transfer function through all operating modes,
making the product ideal for single lithium-ion, two-cell
alkaline or NiMH applications where the output voltage is
within the battery voltage range.
The LTC3530 is pin compatible with the LTC3440 buck-
boost DC/DC converter but adds programmable automatic
Burst Mode operation and extends the V
IN
/V
OUT
range to
1.8V. Switching frequencies up to 2MHz are programmed
with an external resistor. Automatic Burst Mode operation
allows the user to program the load current threshold for
Burst Mode operation using a single resistor from the
BURST pin to GND.
Other features include 1μA shutdown, short circuit pro-
tection, programmable soft-start control, current limit
and thermal shutdown. The LTC3530 is available in a
thermally enhanced 10-lead (3mm × 3mm) DFN or MSOP
package.
