step-down converter using a current mode architecture
capable of supplying 300mA of output current.
The LTC3103 offers two operational modes: automatic
Burst Mode operation and forced continuous mode allow-
ing the user the ability to optimize output voltage ripple,
noise and light load efficiency. With Burst Mode operation
enabled, the typical DC input supply current at no load
drops to 1.8µA maximizing the efficiency for light loads.
Selection of forced continuous mode provides very low
noise constant frequency, 1.2MHz operation.
Additionally, the LTC3103 includes an accurate RUN com-
parator, thermal overload protection, a power good output
and an integrated soft-start feature to guarantee that the
power system start-up is well controlled.

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 LTC3103 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTC3103E 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
LTC3103I is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range. The junction temperature (T
J
) is calculated from the
ambient temperature (T
A
) and power dissipation (P
D
) according to the
formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
)(θ
JA
°C/W)
where
θ
JA
is the package thermal impedance. Note the maximum ambient
temperature consistent with these specifications is determined by specific
operating conditions in conjunction with board layout, the rated package
thermal resistance and other environmental factors.
Note 3:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during momentary overload conditions. The maximum
rated junction temperature will be exceeded when this protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified absolute maximum operating
junction temperature may impair device reliability or permanently damage
the device.
Note 4:
Specification is guaranteed by design.
Note 5:
