Press Release Summary:
Optimized for 2-cell Li-Ion, wall adapter, or automotive power sources, step-down Model LT3470 features integrated boost and catch diodes. It operates from input voltages of 4-40 V, delivering up to 200 mA of output current. Housed in 8-pin, 2 x 3 mm DFN package, micropower H-grade converter consumes less than 1 µA in shutdown mode. Burst Mode® operation minimizes quiescent current to 26 µA, making unit suited for always-on automotive systems.
Original Press Release:
40V, 200mA Micropower Step-Down DC/DC With TJ(MAX) = 150°C
MILPITAS, CA - April 23, 2007 - Linear Technology announces the H-grade version of the LT3470. The LT3470 is a 40V micropower step-down DC/DC converter with integrated boost and catch diodes in a 2mm x 3mm DFN package. It operates from input voltages of 4V to 40V, delivering up to 200mA of output current. The LT3470 is optimized for 2-cell Li-Ion, wall adapter or automotive power sources. Burst Mode® operation reduces quiescent current to only 26uA, making it ideal for applications such as always-on automotive systems. The entire solution footprint is only 50mm2, making it ideal for space constrained applications.
The H-grade version operates up to a junction temperature of 150˚C, compared to the
E- and I-grade maximum junction temperature of 125°C. All electrical specifications are identical for the E-, I- and H-grade versions. The H- grade parts are both tested and guaranteed to the maximum junction temperature of 150˚C. They are well suited for automotive and industrial applications, which are subjected to high ambient temperatures.
The LT3470HDDB is available from stock in a 2mm x 3mm DFN-8 package. Pricing starts at $3.07 each for 1,000 piece quantities.
