Original Press Release:
2.25 MHz Synchronous Step-Down DC/DC Converter Delivers up to 1.25 A from a 2 mm x 3 mm DFN
MILPITAS, CA - July 1, 2008 - Linear Technology announces the LTC3564, a high efficiency, 2.25MHz, synchronous buck regulator that can deliver up to 1.25A of continuous output current from a 2mm x 3mm DFN or ThinSOT package. Using a constant frequency current mode architecture, the LTC3564 operates from an input voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V, making it ideal for Li-Ion battery inputs as well as 3.3V or 5V inputs for point-of-load applications. It can generate output voltages as low as 0.6V, enabling it to power the latest generation of low voltage DSPs and microcontrollers. It utilizes a constant 2.25MHz switching frequency, enabling the use of tiny, low cost ceramic capacitors and inductors less than a 1mm in height, providing a very compact solution footprint.
The LTC3564 uses internal switches with an RDS(ON) of only 0.15Ohm (N-Channel and P-Channel) to deliver efficiencies as high as 96%. It also has low dropout 100% duty cycle operation to extend battery run-time. The LTC3564 utilizes automatic Burst Mode(TM) operation to achieve only 20µA of no load quiescent current and less than 1µA in shutdown. Other features include ±2% output voltage accuracy, current mode operation and over-temperature protection.
The LTC3564EDBC is available in a 2mm x 3mm DFN-6 package while the LTC3564ES5 is available in a 5-lead ThinSOT package. Both versions are available from stock. Pricing starts at $1.95 each for both parts in 1,000-piece quantities. The LTC3564IDBC and LTC3564ISS are both tested and guaranteed to operate from a -40° to 125° junction temperature. They are both priced at $2.24 in 1,000-piece quantities and are available from stock.
