The LTC
®
3252 is a switched capacitor step-down DC/DC
converter that produces two adjustable regulated outputs
from a single 2.7V to 5.5V input. The part uses switched
capacitor fractional conversion to achieve a typical effi-
ciency increase of 50% over that of a linear regulator. No
inductors are required.
A unique constant frequency, spread spectrum architec-
ture provides a very low noise regulated output as well as
low noise at the input. The part also has Burst Mode
®
operation to provide high efficiency at low output currents,
as well as ultralow current shutdown.
Low operating currents (60µA with both outputs enabled,
35µA with one output enabled) and low external parts
count make the LTC3252 ideally suited for space-con-
strained battery-powered applications. The part is short-
circuit and overtemperature protected and is available in a
tiny 4mm
×
3mm 12-pin DFN package.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LTC3252EDE is guaranteed to meet specified performance
from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the – 40°C and 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design characterization and correlation
with statistical process control.
Note 3:
Based on long-term current density limitations.
Note 4:
Minimum operating voltage required for regulation is:
V
IN
> 2 • (V
OUT(MIN)
+ R
OL
• I
OUT
)
Note 5:
Output not in regulation; R
OL
= (V
IN
/2 – V
OUT
)/I
OUT
.
Note 6:
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
temperature may impair device reliability.
