LT3470A Micropower Buck Regulator with Integrated Boost and Catch Diodes FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Low Quiescent Current: 35μA at 12VIN to 3.3VOUT The LT®3470A is a micropower step-down DC/DC con- n Integrated Boost and Catch Diodes verter that integrates a 440mA power switch, catch diode n Input Range: 4V to 40V and boost diode into low profile 2mm × 3mm DFN n 3.3V at 250mA from 4V to 40V Input package. The LT3470A combines Burst Mode and n 5V at 250mA from 5.7V to 40V Input continuous operation to allow the use of tiny inductor n Low Output Ripple: <10mV and capacitors while providing a low ripple output to n < 1μA in Shutdown Mode loads of up to 250mA. n Output Voltage: 1.25V to 16V With its wide input range of 4V to 40V, the LT3470A can n Hysteretic Mode Control regulate a wide variety of power sources, from 2-cell Li-Ion – Low Ripple Burst Mode® Operation at Light Loads batteries to unregulated wall transformers and lead-acid – Continuous Operation at Higher Loads batteries. Quiescent current in regulation is just 35μA in n Solution Size as Small as 50mm2 a typical application while a zero current shutdown mode n Low Profile (0.75mm) 2mm × 3mm Thermally disconnects the load from the input source, simplifying Enhanced 8-Lead DFN Package power management in battery-powered systems. Fast cur- rent limiting and hysteretic control protects the LT3470A APPLICATIONS and external components against shorted outputs, even at 40V input. The LT3470A has higher output current and n Automotive Battery Regulation improved start-up and dropout performance compared n Power for Portable Products to the LT3470. n Distributed Supply Regulation L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology, the Linear logo and Burst Mode are registered trademarks n Industrial Supplies of Linear Technology Corporation.
