LTC3127
1A Buck-Boost DC/DC
Converter with Programmable
Input Current Limit
DESCRIPTION
The
LTC
®
3127
is a wide V
IN
range, highly efficient, 1.35MHz
fixed frequency buck-boost DC/DC converter that operates
from input voltages above, below or equal to the output
voltage. The LTC3127 features programmable average
input current limit, making it ideal for power-limited input
sources. The input current limit is programmed with a
single resistor and is accurate from 0.2A to 1A of average
input current.
The topology incorporated provides a continuous
transfer function through all operating modes. Other
features include <1μA shutdown current, pin-selectable
Burst Mode operation and thermal overload protection.
The LTC3127 is housed in thermally enhanced 10-lead
(3mm
×
3mm
×
0.75mm) DFN packages and 12-lead
MSOP packages.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LTC3127 is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls. Note that the maximum
ambient temperature is determined by specific operating conditions in
conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal resistance and
other environmental factors.
Note 3:
Specification is guaranteed when the inductor current is in
continuous conduction.
Note 4:
Current measurements are made when the output is not
switching.
Note 5:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may result in device degradation or failure.
Note 6:
Failure to solder the exposed backside of the package to the PC
board ground plane will result in a thermal resistance much higher than
43°C/W.
