DESCRIPTION
High Efficiency, High Voltage
20mA Synchronous
Step-Down Converter
The LTC
®
3632 is a high efficiency, high voltage step-down
DC/DC converter with internal high side and synchronous
power switches that draws only 12μA typical DC sup-
ply current at no load while maintaining output voltage
regulation.
The LTC3632 can supply up to 20mA load current and
features a programmable peak current limit that provides
a simple method for optimizing efficiency in lower current
applications. The LTC3632’s combination of Burst Mode
®
operation, integrated power switches, low quiescent cur-
rent, and programmable peak current limit provides high
efficiency over a broad range of load currents.
With its wide 4.5V to 50V input range and internal
overvoltage monitor capable of protecting the part through
60V surges, the LTC3632 is a robust converter suited for
regulating a wide variety of power sources. Additionally,
the LTC3632 includes a precise run threshold and soft-start
feature to guarantee that the power system start-up is
well-controlled in any environment.
The LTC3632 is available in the thermally enhanced
3mm × 3mm DFN and MS8E packages.
