LTC3447 I2C Controllable Buck Regulator in 3mm × 3mm DFN UFEATURESDESCRIPTIO ■ I2C Programmable Output with 21.6mV Resolution The LTC®3447 is a high effi ciency monolithic synchronous ■ Overtemperature Protected current mode buck regulator. Using an I2C interface, the ■ High Effi ciency: Up to 93% output voltage can be set between 0.69V and 2.05V using ■ Very Low Quiescent Current: Only 33µA an internal 6-bit DAC. ■ 600mA Output Current at VIN = 3V The buck regulator has optional external feedback resis- ■ 2.5V to 5.5V Input Voltage Range tors that can be used for setting the initial start up voltage. ■ 1MHz Constant Frequency Operation The feedback voltage reference for this start-up option ■ No Schottky Diode Required is 0.6V. Once the voltage DAC is updated via the I2C, the ■ Low Dropout Operation: 100% Duty Cycle buck regulator switches from external to internal feedback ■ Stable with Ceramic Capacitors resistors. When there are no external resistors, the default ■ Shutdown Mode Draws <1µA Supply Current start-up voltage is 1.38V. ■ ±2% Output Voltage Accuracy ■ Standard (100kHz) or Fast Mode (400kHz) I2C The switching frequency is internally set at 1MHz, al- ■ 6-Bit Voltage DAC (0.69V to 2.05V) lowing the use of small surface mount inductors and ■ Disable Burst Mode Operation capacitors. ■ Enable Power Good Blanking In Burst Mode® operation, supply current is only 33µA, ■ Optional External Start-Up Resistors dropping to <1µA in shutdown. The 2.5V to 5.5V input ■ Soft-Start voltage range makes the LTC3447 ideally suited for single ■ 10 Lead, 3mm × 3mm DFN Package cell Li-Ion battery-powered applications. 100% duty cycle U capability provides low dropout operation, extending APPLICATIO S battery life in portable systems.
