Low Profile (1mm) ThinSOT Package
The LT
®
3470 is a micropower step-down DC/DC converter
that integrates a 300mA power switch, catch diode and
boost diode into a low profile (1mm) ThinSOT
TM
package.
The LT3470 combines Burst Mode and continuous opera-
tion to allow the use of tiny inductor and capacitors while
providing a low ripple output to loads of up to 200mA.
With its wide input range of 4V to 40V, the LT3470 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 26µA
in a typical application while a zero current shutdown
mode disconnects the load from the input source, simpli-
fying power management in battery-powered systems.
Fast current limiting and hysteretic control protects the
LT3470 and external components against shorted out-
puts, even at 40V input.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LT3470E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls. The LT3470I specifications are
guaranteed over the –40°C to 125°C temperature range.
