down regulators using a current mode, constant-frequency
architecture. The DC supply current is only 130µA (Burst
Mode operation at no-load) while maintaining the output
voltages, dropping to zero current in shutdown. The 2.25V
to 5.5V input supply range makes the parts ideally suited
for single Li-Ion applications. 100% duty cycle capability
provides low dropout operation, which extends operating
time in battery-operated systems.
The operating frequency is externally programmable up to
4MHz, allowing the use of small surface mount inductors.
0°, 90°, or 180° (LTC3615) or 140°/180° (LTC3615-1) of
phase shift between the two channels can be selected to
minimize input current ripple and output voltage ripple in a
dual 3A or single 6A output configuration. Programmable
slew rate limiting reduces EMI, and external synchroniza-
tion can be applied up to 4MHz.
The internal synchronous switches increase efficiency
and eliminate the need for external catch diodes, saving
external components and board space.
The LTC3615/LTC3615-1 are offered in leadless 24-pin

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LTC3615/LTC3615-1 are tested under pulsed load conditions
such that T
J
≈
T
A
. The LTC3615E/LTC3615E-1 are guaranteed to meet
performance specifications over the 0°C to 85°C operating junction
temperature range. Specifications over the –40°C to 125°C operating
junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls. The LTC3615I/LTC3615I-1
are guaranteed to meet specifications over the –40°C to 125°C operating
junction temperature range. The LTC3615H/LTC3615H-1 are guaranteed
to meet specifications over the –40°C to 150°C operating temperature
range. The LTC3615MP/LTC3615MP-1 are tested and guaranteed to meet
specifications over the full –55°C to 150°C operating junction temperature
range. High junction temperatures degrade operating lifetime; operating
lifetime is derated for junction temperatures greater than 125°C. Note that
the maximum ambient temperature consistent with these specifications
is determined by specific operating conditions in conjunction with board
layout, the rated package thermal impedance and other environmental
factors. The junction temperature (T
J
, in °C) is calculated from the ambient
temperature
(T
A
, in °C) and power dissipation (P
D
, in watts) according to the formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P

where
θ

(in °C/W) is the package thermal impedance.

This parameter is tested in a feedback loop which servos V

the midpoint for the error amplifier (V

= 0.75V).
Note 4:
External compensation on ITH pin.
Note 5:
Tying the ITH pin to SV
IN
enables internal compensation and AVP
mode for the selected channel.
Note 6:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge
being delivered at the switching frequency.
Note 7:
See description of the TRACK/SS pin in the Pin Functions section.
Note 8:
When sourcing current, the average output current is defined
as flowing out of the SW pin. When sinking current, the average output
current is defined as flowing into the SW pin. Sinking mode requires the
use of forced continuous mode.
Note 9:
See description of the MODE pin in the Pin Functions section.
Note 10:
Guaranteed by design and correlation to wafer level
measurements for QFN packages.
Note 11:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 150°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability or permanently damage the
