LTC1701/LTC1701B 1MHz Step-Down DC/DC Converters in SOT-23 UFEATURESDESCRIPTIO ■ Tiny 5-Lead SOT-23 Package The LTC®1701/LTC1701B are the industry’s first SOT-23 ■ Uses Tiny Capacitors and Inductor step-down, current mode, DC/DC converters. Intended for ■ High Frequency Operation: 1MHz low to medium power applications, they operate from 2.5V ■ High Output Current: 500mA to 5.5V input voltage range and switch at 1MHz, allowing ■ Low RDS(ON) Internal Switch: 0.28 Ω the use of tiny, low cost capacitors and inductors 2mm or ■ High Efficiency: Up to 94% less in height. The output voltage is adjustable from 1.25V ■ Current Mode Operation for Excellent Line to 5V. A built-in 0.28Ω switch allows up to 0.5A of output and Load Transient Response current at high efficiency. OPTI-LOOPTM compensation ■ Short-Circuit Protected allows the transient response to be optimized over a wide ■ Low Quiescent Current: 135µA (LTC1701) range of loads and output capacitors. ■ Low Dropout Operation: 100% Duty Cycle The LTC1701 incorporates automatic power saving Burst ■ Ultralow Shutdown Current: IQ < 1µA ModeTM operation to reduce gate charge losses when the ■ Peak Inductor Current Independent of Inductor Value load current drops below the level required for continuous ■ Output Voltages from 5V Down to 1.25V operation. The LTC1701B operates continuously to very U low load currents to provide low ripple at the expense of APPLICATIO S light load efficiency. With no load, the LTC1701 draws only 135µA. In shutdown, both devices draw less than 1µA, ■ PDAs/Palmtop PCs making them ideal for current sensitive applications. ■ Digital Cameras ■ Cellular Phones Their small size and switching frequency enables a ■ Portable Media Players complete DC/DC converter function to consume less than ■ PC Cards 0.3 square inches of PC board area. ■ Handheld Equipment , LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
