verter with two very low dropout (VLDO) linear regulators
to provide up to three stepped-down output voltages from
a single input voltage. The input voltage range is ideally
suited for Li-Ion battery-powered applications, as well
as powering low voltage logic from 5V or 3.3V rails. The
output voltage range extends down to 0.4V for the VLDO
regulators and 0.8V for the buck.
The 1A synchronous buck converter provides the main
output with high efficiency, typically 85%. The two 300mA
VLDO regulators can run off the main output to provide
two additional lower voltage outputs. A built-in supply
monitor provides a power good indication.
The buck converter switches at 2.25MHz, allowing the use
of small surface mount inductors and capacitors. Constant
frequency current mode operation produces controlled
output spectrum and fast transient response. A mode-
select pin allows automatic Burst Mode operation to be
enabled for higher efficiency at light load, or disabled for
lower noise operation down to very light loads. The two
VLDO regulators are stable with ceramic output capacitors
as small as 1µF
.

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 LTC3446 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTC3446E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C operating 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 LTC3446I is guaranteed to meet performance specifications over
the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range. Note that the
maximum ambient temperature consistent with these specifications is
determined by specific operating conditions in conjunction with board
layout, the rated package thermal impedance and other environmental
factors. The junction temperature (T
J
, in °C) is calculated from the ambient
temperature (T
A
, in °C) and power dissipation (P
D
, in Watts) according to
the formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
•
θ
JA
)
where
θ
JA
(in °C/W) is the package thermal impedance.
Note 3:
Minimum operating V
IN
voltage required for the VLDO regulators
to stay in regulation is:
V
IN
≥ LV
OUT(MAX)
+ 1.4V and V
IN
≥ 2.7V
Note 4:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge
being delivered at the switching frequency.
Note 5:
The LTC3446 is tested in a feedback loop that connects the
BUCKFB pin to the output of the buck converter’s error amplifier (i.e., the
I
TH
pin).
Note 6:
Minimum operating LV
IN
voltage required for the VLDO regulators
to stay in regulation is:
LV
IN
≥ L
VOUT(MAX)
+ 100mV and LV
IN
≥ 0.9V
Note 7:
Operating conditions are limited by maximum junction
temperature. The regulated output voltage specification will not apply
for all possible combinations of input voltage and output current. When
operating at maximum input voltage, the output current range must be
limited. When operating at maximum output current, the input voltage
range must be limited.
Note 8:
PGOOD assertion indicates that the feedback voltages of all
enabled supplies are within the specified percentage of their target values.
