LTC3448
1.5MHz/2.25MHz, 600mA
Synchronous Step-Down
Regulator with LDO Mode
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC
®
3448 is a high efficiency, monolithic, synchronous
buck regulator using a constant frequency, current mode
architecture. Supply current during operation is only 32µA
(linear regulator mode) and drops to <1µA in shutdown. The
2.5V to 5.5V input voltage range makes the LTC3448 ide-
ally suited for single Li-Ion battery-powered applications.
100% duty cycle provides low dropout operation, extend-
ing battery life in portable systems. At moderate output load
levels, PWM pulse skipping mode operation provides very
low output ripple voltage for noise sensitive applications.
The LTC3448 automatically switches into linear regulator
operation at very low load currents to maintain <5mV
P-P
output voltage ripple. Supply current in this mode is
typically 32µA. The switch to linear regulator mode occurs
at a threshold of 3mA. Linear regulator operation can be set
to on, off or automatic turn on/off.
Switching frequency is selectable at either 1.5MHz or
2.25MHz, allowing the use of small surface mount induc-
tors and capacitors.
The internal synchronous switch increases efficiency and
eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode. Low
output voltages are easily supported with the 0.6V feed-
back reference voltage. The LTC3448 is available in a low
profile 3mm
×
3mm DFN package or thermally enhanced
8-lead MSOP.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LTC3448E 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.
Note 3:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation P
D
according to the following formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
)(43°C/W)
Note 4:
The LTC3448 is tested in a proprietary test mode that connects
V
FB
to the output of the error amplifier.
Note 5:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency. LRO is “linear regulator operation.”
Note 6:
4MHz operation is guaranteed by design but is not production
tested and is subject to duty cycle limitations.
Note 7:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature is active. Continu-
ous operation above the specified maximum operating junction tempera-
ture may impair device reliability.
Note 8:
The load current below which the switching regulator turns off and
the LDO turns on is, to first order, inversely proportional to the value of
the inductor. This effect is covered in more detail in the Operation section.
This parameter is not production tested but is guaranteed by design.
Note 9:
For 2.5V < V
IN
< 2.7V the output voltage is limited to V
IN
– 0.7V
to ensure regulation in linear regulator mode. This parameter is not
production tested but is guaranteed by design.
