LTC3417A
Dual Synchronous
1.5A/1A 4MHz Step-Down
DC/DC Regulator
DescripTion
The LTC
®
3417A is a dual constant frequency, synchronous
step-down DC/DC converter. Intended for medium power
applications, it operates from a 2.25V to 5.5V input volt-
age range and has a constant programmable switching
frequency, allowing the use of tiny, low cost capacitors
and inductors 2mm or less in height. Each output voltage
is adjustable from 0.8V to 5V. Internal, synchronous, low
R
DS(ON)
power switches provide high efficiency without
the need for external Schottky diodes.
A user selectable mode input allows the user to trade
off ripple voltage for light load efficiency. Burst Mode
®
operation provides high efficiency at light loads, while
Pulse Skip mode provides low ripple noise at light loads.
A phase mode pin allows the second channel to operate
in-phase or 180° out-of-phase with respect to channel 1.
Out-of-phase operation produces lower RMS current on V
IN
and thus a lower RMS derating on the input capacitor.
To further maximize battery life, the P-channel MOSFETs
are turned on continuously in dropout (100% duty cycle)
and both channels draw a total quiescent current of only
125µA. In shutdown, the device draws <1µA.

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 LTC3417AE is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating ambient
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls. The LTC3417AI is guaranteed to meet
performance specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating temperature
range.
Note 3:
The LTC3417A is tested in feedback loop which servos V
FB1
to the
midpoint for the error amplifier (V
ITH1
= 0.6V) and V
FB2
to the midpoint for
the error amplifier (V
ITH2
= 0.6V).
Note 4:
Total supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency.
Note 5:
Switch on-resistance is guaranteed by design and test correlation
on the DHC package and by final test correlation on the FE package.
Note 6:
Variable frequency operation with resistor is guaranteed by design
but not production tested and is subject to duty cycle limitations.
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
temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 8:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature, T
A
, and power dis-
sipation, P
D
, according to the following formula:
LTC3417AEDHC: T
J
