LTC3251/
LTC3251-1.2/LTC3251-1.5
500mA High Efficiency,
Low Noise, Inductorless
Step-Down DC/DC Converter
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC
®
3251/LTC3251-1.2/LTC3251-1.5 are 2-phase
charge pump step-down DC/DC converters that produce a
regulated output from a 2.7V to 5.5V input. The parts use
switched capacitor fractional conversion to achieve twice
the typical efficiency of a linear regulator. No inductors are
required. V
OUT
is resistor programmable from 0.9V to 1.6V
or fixed at 1.2V or 1.5V, with up to 500mA of load current
available.
A unique 2-phase spread spectrum architecture provides
a very low noise regulated output as well as low noise at the
input.* The parts have four operating modes: Continuous
Spread Spectrum, Spread Spectrum with Burst Mode
operation, Super Burst
TM
mode operation and shutdown.
Low operating current (35µA in Burst Mode operation,
10µA in Super Burst mode operation) and low external
parts count make the LTC3251/LTC3251-1.2/LTC3251-1.5
ideally suited for space-constrained battery-powered
applications. The parts are short-circuit and overtempera-
ture protected, and are available in a thermally enhanced
10-pin MSOP 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.
Note 2:
Based on long term current density limitations.
Note 3:
The LTC3251E is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the – 40°C to 85°C operating temperature
range are assured by design, characterization and correlation with
statistical process controls.

Note 7:
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
