Product Details
The LTC3542 is a high efficiency monolithic synchronous buck converter using a constant frequency, current mode architecture. Supply current during operation is only 26µA, dropping to <1µA in shutdown. The 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage range makes the LTC3542 ideally suited for single Li-Ion battery-powered applications. 100% duty cycle provides low dropout operation, extending battery life in portable systems. The output voltage is adjustable from 0.6V to VIN. Internal power switches are optimized to provide high efficiency and eliminate the need for an external Schottky diode.
Switching frequency is internally set at 2.25MHz, allowing the use of small surface mount inductors and capacitors, and it can synchronize to an external clock signal with a frequency range of 1MHz to 3MHz through the MODE/ SYNC pin. The LTC3542 is specifically designed to work well with ceramic output capacitors, achieving very low output voltage ripple and a small PCB footprint.
The LTC3542 can be configured for the power saving Burst Mode® Operation. For reduced noise and RF interference, the MODE/SYNC pin can be configured for pulse skipping operation.
