Press Release Summary:
LTC3533 synchronous buck-boost converter delivers up to 2 A output current from Li-Ion/Polymer sources or 800 mA from dual cell alkaline/NiCad/NiMH sources. Its .8-5.5V input range and 1.8-5.25 V output range provide regulated output with inputs above, below, or equal to output. Programmable Burst Mode® operation allows programming of load current, and device includes 2 N-Channel and 2 P-Channel MOSFETs with RDS(on) of 0.06 and 0.08W respectively.
Original Press Release:
2A, 2MHz Synchronous Buck-Boost DC/DC Converter
MILPITAS, CA - March 15, 2007 - Linear Technology announces the LTC3533, a synchronous buck-boost converter that delivers up to 2A of output current from a Li-Ion/Polymer source or 800mA from dual cell alkaline/NiCad/NiMH sources. Its 1.8V to 5.5V input range and 1.8V to 5.25 output range provides a regulated output with inputs above, below or equal to the output. The topology incorporated in the LTC3533 provides a continuous transition through all of the operating modes, making it ideal for applications that must maintain a constant output voltage even as the battery voltage declines below the output. In many cases, this can add up to 25% more battery run time. The LTC3533's constant switching frequency ensures low noise and is user programmable from 300kHz up to 2MHz, in order to optimize the trade off between efficiency and external component size. The combination of tiny externals and a 3mm x 4mm DFN package provide a very small solution footprint, typically required in many handheld applications.
The LTC3533 includes two N-Channel MOSFETs and two P-Channel MOSFETs (RDS(ON) of 0.06 Ohm and 0.08 Ohm, respectively) to deliver efficiencies of up to 96%. Programmable Burst Mode® operation allows the user to program the load current that activates Burst Mode power savings. Burst Mode operation requires only 40uA of quiescent current and shutdown current is less than 1uA, further extending battery run time. Other features include soft-start, current limiting, thermal shutdown and output disconnect.
LTC3533EDE is available from stock in a 14-lead DFN package. Pricing is $3.55 each for 1,000-piece quantities.
