Low Profile (0.75mm) 3mm x 2mm Thermally
Enhanced 8-Lead DD and 1mm ThinSOT Packages
The LT
®
3470 is a micropower step-down DC/DC converter
that integrates a 300mA power switch, catch diode
and boost diode into low profile 3mm x 2mm DD and
ThinSOT
TM
packages. The LT3470 combines Burst Mode
and continuous operation to allow the use of tiny inductor
and capacitors while providing a low ripple output to
loads of up to 200mA.
With its wide input range of 4V to 40V, the LT3470 can
regulate a wide variety of power sources, from 2-cell
Li-Ion batteries to unregulated wall transformers and lead-
acid batteries. Quiescent current in regulation is just 26µA
in a typical application while a zero current shutdown
mode disconnects the load from the input source, simpli-
fying power management in battery-powered systems.
Fast current limiting and hysteretic control protects the
LT3470 and external components against shorted out-
puts, even at 40V input.

with statistical process controls. The LT3470I specifications are
guaranteed over the –40°C to 125°C temperature range. LT3470H
specifications are guaranteed over –40°C to 150°C temperature range.
Note 3:
Bias current flows out of the FB pin.
Note 4:
This is the minimum voltage across the boost capacitor needed to
guarantee full saturation of the switch.
Note 5:
This parameter is assured by design and correlation with statistical
process controls.
