DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
3672B-1 is a triple power supply composed of a
400mA synchronous buck regulator and two 150mA low-
dropout linear regulators (LDOs), where one of the LDOs
can be powered from the buck output to improve efficiency.
Constant-frequency 2.25MHz operation is maintained
down to very light loads. The input supply range of 2.9V
to 5.5V is especially well-suited for single-cell Lithium-Ion
and Lithium-Polymer applications, and for powering low
voltage ASICs from 3.3V or 5V rails.
The LTC3672B-1 regulates 1.8V at the buck output, 1.2V
at the LDO1 output, and 2.8V at the LDO2 output. Exter-
nal component count is minimal—all that is needed is a
single inductor, an input capacitor, and output capacitors
for each of the three outputs. Control loop compensation
is internal to the LTC3672B-1.
The LTC3672B-1 is available in a 2mm

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 LTC3672B-1 is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°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:
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:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge delivered
to the buck regulator’s internal MOSFET switches at the switching
frequency.
Note 5:
The current limit features of this part are intended to protect the
IC from short term or intermittent fault conditions. Continuous operation
above the specified maximum specified pin current rating may result in
device degradation or failure.
Note 6:
Dropout voltage is the minimum input to output voltage differential
needed to maintain regulation at a specified output current. When LDO1 is
in dropout, its output voltage will be equal to: V
IN1
– V
DROP1
. When LDO2
is in dropout, its output voltage will be equal to: V
IN
– V
DROP2
.
