The LTC
®
3447 is a high efficiency monolithic synchronous
current mode buck regulator. Using an I
2
C interface, the
output voltage can be set between 0.69V and 2.05V using
an internal 6-bit DAC.
The buck regulator has optional external feedback resis-
tors that can be used for setting the initial start up voltage.
The feedback voltage reference for this start-up option
is 0.6V. Once the voltage DAC is updated via the I
2
C, the
buck regulator switches from external to internal feedback
resistors. When there are no external resistors, the default
start-up voltage is 1.38V.
The switching frequency is internally set at 1MHz, al-
lowing the use of small surface mount inductors and
capacitors.
In Burst Mode
®
operation, supply current is only 33µA,
dropping to <1µA in shutdown. The 2.5V to 5.5V input
voltage range makes the LTC3447 ideally suited for single
cell Li-Ion battery-powered applications. 100% duty cycle
capability provides low dropout operation, extending
battery life in portable systems. Automatic Burst Mode
operation increases efficiency at light loads, further ex-
tending battery life.
The internal synchronous switch increases efficiency and
eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LTC3447E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature are assured by design, characterization and correlation with
statistical process controls.
Note 3:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature, T
A
, and the power
dissipation, P
D
, according to the following formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ P
D
• 43°C/W
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 4:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency.
Note 5:
Determined by design, not production tested.
Note 6:
The LTC3447 is tested in a proprietary test mode that connects
V
OUT
to FB.
