The LTC
®
3410B is a high efficiency monolithic synchro-
nous buck regulator using a constant frequency, current
mode architecture. The device is available in adjustable
and fixed output voltage versions. Supply current during
operation is only 200µA, dropping to <1µA in shutdown.
The 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage range makes the LTC3410B
ideally suited for single Li-Ion battery-powered applica-
tions. 100% duty cycle provides low dropout operation,
extending battery life in portable systems. PWM pulse
skipping mode operation provides very low output ripple
voltage for noise sensitive applications.
Switching frequency is internally set at 2.25MHz, allowing
the use of small surface mount inductors and capacitors.
The LTC3410B is specifically designed to work well with
ceramic output capacitors, achieving very low output
voltage ripple and a small PCB footprint.
The internal synchronous switch increases efficiency and
eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode. Low
output voltages are easily supported with the 0.8V feed-
back reference voltage. The LTC3410B is available in a
tiny, low profile SC70 package.

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 LTC3410BE is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
Note 3:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation P
D
according to the following formula:
LTC3410B: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
)(250°C/W)
Note 4:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency.
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 impair device reliability.
