monolithic synchronous buck regulator using a controlled
on-time current mode architecture, with phase lockable
switching frequency. The operating supply voltage range is
from 3.1V to 20V, making it suitable for lithium-ion battery
stacks as well as point of load power supply applications
from a 12V or 5V input.
The operating frequency is programmable from 500kHz to
4MHz with an external resistor and may be synchronized
to an external clock signal. The high frequency capability
allows the use of small surface mount inductors and
capacitors. The unique constant frequency/controlled
on-time architecture is ideal for high step-down ratio ap-
plications that operate at high frequency while demanding
fast transient response.
The LTC3636/LTC3636-1 can select between forced con-
tinuous mode and high efficiency Burst Mode operation.
The LTC3636 and LTC3636-1 differ in their output voltage
sense range.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
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 LTC3636 is tested under pulsed load conditions such
that T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTC3636E is guaranteed to meet specifications from
0°C to 85°C junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C to
125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The
LTC3636I is guaranteed over the –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range. 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
D
•
θ
JA
), where
θ
JA
(in °C/W) is the package thermal
impedance.
Note 3:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 4:
Output voltages outside the specified range are not optimized for
controlled on-time operation. Refer to the Applications Information section
for further discussions related to the output voltage range.
Note 5:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge
