LTC3603 2.5A, 15V Monolithic Synchronous Step-Down Regulator
Features Description
n
Wide Input Voltage Range: 4.5V to 15V
The LTC®3603 is a high efficiency, monolithic synchronous n
2.5A Output Current
step-down DC/DC converter utilizing a constant-frequency, n
Low RDS(ON) Internal Switches: 45m
Ω
and 85m
Ω current mode architecture. It operates from an input voltage n
Programmable Frequency: 300kHz to 3MHz
range of 4.5V to 15V and provides an adjustable regulated n
Low Quiescent Current: 75µA
output voltage from 0.6V to 14.5V while delivering up to n 0.6V ±1% Reference Allows Precise, 2.5A of output current. The internal synchronous power Low Output Voltage switch with 45mΩ on-resistance increases efficiency n 99% Maximum Duty Cycle and eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode. n Adjustable Burst Mode® Clamp The switching frequency can either be set by an external n Synchronizable to External Clock resistor or synchronized to an external clock. OPTI-LOOP® n Power Good Output Voltage Monitor compensation allows the transient response to be optimized n Overtemperature Protection over a wide range of loads and output capacitors. n Overvoltage Protection The LTC3603 can be configured for either Burst Mode op- n Available in 16-Lead Thermally Enhanced eMSOP eration or forced continuous operation. Forced continuous and 4mm × 4mm QFN Packages operation reduces noise and RF interference, while Burst
applications
Mode operation provides the highest efficiency at light loads. In Burst Mode operation, external control of the burst n Point-of-Load Supplies clamp level allows the output voltage ripple to be adjusted n Portable Instruments according to the requirements of the application. n Communications Infrastructure L, LT, LTC, LTM, Burst Mode, OPTI-LOOP, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks and ThinSOT is a trademark of Linear Technology Corporation.
