Analog Devices Inc. LTC3308A/B Synchronous Step-Down Silent Switcher™

Analog Devices Inc. LTC3308A/B Synchronous Step-Down Silent Switcher™ is a very small, high efficiency, low noise, monolithic synchronous 4A step-down DC/DC converter. It operates from a 2.25V to 5.5V input supply. Using constant frequency, peak current mode control at switching frequencies up to 3MHz, and minimum on-time as low as 22ns, this regulator achieves fast transient response with small external components. A Silent Switcher architecture minimizes EMI emissions.

The LTC3308x operates in forced continuous or pulse skip mode for low noise or low-ripple Burst Mode operation for high efficiency at light loads. This makes the device ideal for battery-powered systems. The IC regulates output voltages as low as 500mV. Other features include output overvoltage protection, short-circuit protection, thermal shutdown, clock synchronization, and up to 100% duty cycle operation for low dropout. The device is available in a low profile 12-lead 2mm×2mm×0.74mm LQFN package with an exposed pad for low thermal resistance.
