Features n n n n n n n n n LT3470A Micropower Buck Regulator with Integrated Boost and Catch Diodes DESCRIPTION .. n n Low Quiescent Current: 35μA at 12VIN to 3.3VOUT Integrated Boost and Catch Diodes Input Range: 4V to 40V 3.3V at 250m A from 4V to 40V Input 5V at 250m A from 5.7V to 40V Input Low Output Ripple: <10m V < 1μA in Shutdown Mode Output Voltage: 1.25V to 16V Hysteretic Mode Control - Low Ripple Burst Mode® Operation at Light Loads - Continuous Operation at Higher Loads Solution Size as Small as 50mm2 Low Profile (0.75mm) 2mm × 3mm Thermally Enhanced 8-Lead DFN Package The LT®3470A is a micropower step-down DC/DC converter that integrates a 440m A power switch, catch diode and boost diode into low profile 2mm × 3mm DFN package. The LT3470A bines Burst Mode and continuous operation to allow the use of tiny inductor and capacitors while providing a low ripple output to loads of up to 250m A. With its wide input range of 4V to 40V, the LT3470A can regulate a wide variety of power sources, from 2-cell Li-Ion batteries to unregulated wall transformers and lead-acid batteries. Quiescent current in regulation is just 35μA in a typical application while a zero current shutdown mode disconnects the load from the input source, simplifying power management in battery-powered systems. Fast current limiting and hysteretic control protects the LT3470A and external ponents against shorted outputs, even at 40V input. The LT3470A has higher output current and improved start-up and dropout performance pared to the LT3470. L, LT, LTC and LTM are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
