DESCRIPTION
1.25A, 4MHz, Synchronous
Step-Down DC/DC Converter
The LTC
®
3565 is a constant frequency, synchronous
step-down DC/DC converter. Intended for medium power
applications, it operates from a 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage
range and has a user-configurable operating frequency up
to 4MHz, allowing the use of tiny, low cost capacitors and
inductors 1mm or less in height. The output voltage is
adjustable from 0.6V to 5.5V. Internal synchronous power
switches provide high efficiency. The LTC3565’s current
mode architecture and external compensation allow the
transient response to be optimized over a wide range of
loads and output capacitors.
The LTC3565 can be configured for automatic power
saving Burst Mode operation (I
Q
= 40µA) to reduce gate
charge losses when the load current drops below the level
required for continuous operation. For reduced noise and
RF interference, the SYNC/MODE pin can be configured to
skip pulses or provide forced continuous operation.
To further maximize battery life, the P-channel MOSFET
is turned on continuously in dropout (100% duty cycle).
In shutdown, the device draws <1µA.
