and dual 600mA synchronous buck DC/DC converters. The
1.1MHz switching frequency minimizes the solution foot-
print while maintaining high efficiency. All three converters
feature soft-start and internal compensation to minimize
the solution footprint and simplify the design process.
The buck converters are current mode controlled and
utilize an internal synchronous rectifier to improve ef-
ficiency. The buck converters support 100% duty cycle
operation to extend battery life. If the PWM pin is held
low, the buck converters automatically transition from
Burst Mode operation to PWM mode at high loads. With
the PWM pin held high, the buck converters remain in low
noise, 1.1MHz PWM mode.
The buck-boost converter features continuous conduction
operation to maximize efficiency and minimize noise. At
light loads, the buck-boost converter can be operated in
Burst Mode operation to improve efficiency and reduce
no-load standby current.
The LTC3521 provides a <2μA shutdown mode, over-
temperature shutdown and current limit protection
on all converters. The LTC3521 is available in a 24-pin
0.75mm × 4mm × 4mm QFN package, and a 20-pin ther-
mally enhanced TSSOP 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:
The LTC3521 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈
T
A
. The LTC3521E is guaranteed to meet performance specifica-
tions from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 125°C operating
junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls. The LTC3521I is guaranteed
over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range. The
maximum ambient temperature is determined by specific operating
conditions in conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal
impedance and other environmental factors.

elecTrical characTerisTics
Note 3:
Current measurements are performed when the LTC3521 is not
switching. The current limit values in operation will be somewhat higher
due to the propagation delay of the comparators.
Note 4:
The LTC3521 is tested in a proprietary test mode that connects
each FB pin to the output of the respective error amplifier.
Note 5:
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.
