The LTC
®
3240-3.3/LTC3240-2.5 are step-up/step-down
charge pump DC/DC converters that produce a fixed
regulated output voltage of 3.3V or 2.5V over a wide input
voltage range (1.8V to 5.5V).
With input voltages greater than the regulated output
voltage the LTC3240 operates as a low dropout regulator.
Once the input voltage drops within 100mV of the regulated
output voltage the part automatically switches to step-up
mode. In step-up mode the LTC3240 operates as a constant
frequency (1.2MHz) doubling charge pump.
The LTC3240-3.3/LTC3240-2.5 feature low no load operat-
ing current (65µA typical) and ultralow operating current
in shutdown (<1µA). Built-in soft-start circuitry prevents
excessive inrush current during start-up. Thermal shut-
down and current-limit circuitry allow the parts to survive
a continuous short-circuit from V
OUT
to GND.
The LTC3240-3.3/LTC3240-2.5 require only three tiny
external ceramic capacitors for an ultrasmall application
footprint. The LTC3240-3.3/LTC3240-2.5 are available in a
6-pin (2mm
×
2mm) DFN package.

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.

The LTC3240-3.3/LTC3240-2.5 are 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,
