synchronous monolithic step-down regulator. The switch-
ing frequency is fixed to 1MHz or 2.25MHz. The regulator
features ultralow quiescent current and high efficiencies
over a wide V
OUT
range.
The step-down regulator operates from an input voltage
range of 2.7V to 17V and provides an adjustable output
range from 0.6V to V
IN
while delivering up to 1A of output
current. A user-selectable mode input is provided to allow
the user to trade off ripple noise for light load efficiency;
Burst Mode operation provides the highest efficiency at
light loads, while pulse-skipping mode provides the low-
est voltage ripple.

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:
Transient absolute maximum voltages should not be applied for
more than 4% of the switching duty cycle.
Note 3:
The LTC3621 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTC3621E 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
LTC3621I 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.
Note 4:
The quiescent current in forced continuous mode does not include
switching loss of the power FETs.
Note 5:
The LTC3621 is tested in a proprietary test mode that connects V
