The LTC3417A-2 is a dual constant frequency, synchronous step-down DC/DC converter. Intended for medium power applications, it operates from a 2.25V to 5.5V input voltage range and has a constant programmable switching frequency, allowing the use of tiny, low cost capacitors and inductors 2mm or less in height. Each output voltage is adjustable from 0.8V to 5V. Internal synchronous, low RDS(ON) power switches provide high efficiency without the need for external Schottky diodes.

A user selectable mode input allows the user to trade off ripple voltage for light load efficiency. Burst Mode operation provides high efficiency at light loads, while Pulse Skip mode provides low ripple noise at light loads. A phase mode pin allows the second channel to operate in-phase or 180° out-of-phase with respect to channel 1. Out-of-phase operation produces lower RMS current on VIN and thus lower stress on the input capacitor.

To further maximize battery life, the P-channel MOSFETs are turned on continuously in dropout (100% duty cycle) and both channels draw a total quiescent current of only 100μA. In shutdown, the device draws <1μA.

DC1336A

LTC3417AEDHC-2 Demo Board | Dual Synchronous 1.5/1A 1A 4MHz Step-Down DC/DC Regulator

Product Details

Demonstration circuit DC1336 is a dual output regulator consisting of two constant-frequency step-down converters, based on the LTC3417A-2 monolithic dual synchronous buck regulator. The DC1336 has an input voltage range of 2.25V to 5.5V, with one regulator capable of delivering up to 1.5A of output current and the other regulator capable of delivering up to 1A of output current. The DC1336 can operate in either Burst Mode® or Pulse-Skipping operation. In shutdown, the DC1336 can run off of less than 1 uA total. The DC1336 is a very efficient circuit: up to 94% for either circuit.
