extending the operating time in battery-powered systems.
The operating frequency is externally programmable up to
4MHz, allowing the use of small surface mount inductors.
For switching-noise-sensitive applications, the LTC3614
can be synchronized to an external clock at up to 4MHz.
Forced continuous mode operation in the LTC3614 reduces
noise and RF interference. Adjustable compensation allows
the transient response to be optimized over a wide range
of loads and output capacitors.
The internal synchronous switch increases efficiency and
eliminates the need for an external catch diode, saving
external components and board space. The LTC3614
is offered in a leadless 24-pin 3mm
×
5mm thermally
enhanced QFN 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 LTC3614 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that T
J
≈
T
A
. The LTC3614E is guaranteed to meet specifications from 0°C to 85°C
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 LTC3614I is guaranteed
to meet specifications over the –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature, the LTC3614H is guaranteed to meet specifications over the
–40°C to 150°C operating junction temperature range and the LTC3614MP
is guaranteed and tested to meet specifications over the full –55°C to
150°C operating junction temperature range. High junction temperatures
degrade operating lifetimes; operating lifetime is derated for temperature
greater than 125°C. 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
) is calculated from the ambient temperature
(T
A
) and power dissipation (P
D
) according to the formula: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
•
θ
JA
°C/W), where
θ
JA
is the package thermal impedance. The maximum
ambient temperature is determined by specific operating conditions in
conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal resistance and
other environmental factors.
Note 3:
This parameter is tested in a feedback loop which servos V
FB
to
the midpoint for the error amplifier (V
ITH
= 0.75V).
Note 4:
External compensation on ITH pin.
Note 5:
Tying the ITH pin to SV
IN
enables the internal compensation and
AVP mode.
Note 6:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge
being delivered at the switching frequency.
Note 7:
See description of the TRACK/SS pin in the Pin Functions section.
Note 8:
In sourcing mode the average output current is flowing out of the
SW pin. In sinking mode the average output current is flowing into the SW
Pin.
Note 9:
See description of the MODE pin in the Pin Functions section.
Note 10:
Guaranteed by correlation and design to wafer level
measurements for QFN packages.
Note 11:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 150°C when overtemperature protection is active.
