LTC3801/LTC3801B Micropower Constant Frequency Step-Down DC/DC Controllers in ThinSOT
U FEATURES DESCRIPTIO
■
High Efficiency: Up to 94%
The LTC®3801/LTC3801B are constant frequency cur- ■

High Output Currents Easily Achieved
parts provide excellent AC and DC load and line regula- ■
Internal Soft-Start
tion with ±1.5% output voltage accuracy. The LTC3801 ■
Wide VIN Range: 2.4V to 9.8V
consumes only 195µA of quiescent current in normal ■
Low Dropout: 100% Duty Cycle
operation, dropping to 16µA under no-load conditions. ■
Constant Frequency 550kHz Operation
The LTC3801/LTC3801B incorporate an undervoltage lock- ■ Burst Mode® Operation for High Efficiency out feature that shuts down the device when the input at Light Loads (LTC3801) voltage falls below 2.2V. The LTC3801 automatically ■ Burst Mode Operation Disabled for Lower Output switches into Burst Mode operation at light loads which Ripple at Light Loads (LTC3801B) enhances efficiency at low output current. In the LTC3801B, ■ Output Voltage as Low as 0.8V Burst Mode operation is disabled for lower output ripple at ■ ±1.5% Voltage Reference Accuracy light loads. ■ Current Mode Operation for Excellent Line and Load Transient Response To further maximize the life of a battery source, the ■ Only 6µA Supply Current in Shutdown (LTC3801) external P-channel MOSFET is turned on continuously in ■ Low Profile (1mm) SOT-23 Package dropout (100% duty cycle). High switching frequency of 550kHz allows the use of a small inductor.
