Typical Application
Description
The LTC3406B-2 is a high efficiency monolithic synchronous buck regulator using a constant frequency, current mode architecture. Supply current with no load is 350µA, dropping to <1µA in shutdown. The 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage range makes the LTC3406B-2 ideally suited for single Li-Ion battery-powered applications. 100% duty cycle capability provides low dropout operation, extending battery life in portable systems. PWM pulse skipping mode operation provides very low output ripple voltage for noise sensitive applications.
The switching frequency is internally set at 2.25MHz, allowing the use of tiny surface mount inductors and capacitors. The internal synchronous switch increases efficiency and eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode. Low output voltages are easily supported with the 0.6V feedback reference voltage. The LTC3406B-2 is available in a low profile (1mm) SOT-23 package. Refer to LTC3406 for applications that require Burst Mode® operation.
