LTC3538
800mA Synchronous
Buck-Boost
DC/DC Converter
FEATURES
■
■
DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
3538 is a highly efficient, low noise, buck-boost
DC/DC converter that operates from input voltages above,
below, and equal to the output voltage. The topology
incorporated in the IC provides a continuous transfer
function through all operating modes, making the product
ideal for single Lithium Ion or multicell Alkaline or NiMH
applications where the output voltage is within the battery
voltage range.
The LTC3538 is suited for use in Micro Hard Disk Drive
(μHDD) applications with its 800mA current capability. Burst
Mode
®
operation provides high efficiency at light loads.
The LTC3538 includes two 0.17Ω N-channel and two
0.2Ω P-channel MOSFET switches. Operating frequency
is internally set to 1MHz to minimize solution footprint
while maximizing efficiency.
Other features include <5μA shutdown current, internal
soft-start, short circuit protection and thermal shutdown.
The LTC3538 is available in a low profile (0.75mm), ther-
mally enhanced 8-lead (2mm × 3mm) DFN 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 LTC3538 is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
Note 3:
This IC includes over-temperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when over-temperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may result in device degradation or failure.
Note 4:
The IC is tested in a feedback loop to make the measurement.
