The LTC
®
3531/LTC3531-3.3/LTC3531-3 are synchronous
buck-boost DC/DC converters that operate from input
voltages above, below or equal to the output voltage. The
topology incorporated in the ICs provides a continuous
transfer through all operating modes, making the product
ideal for single cell Li-Ion and multicell alkaline or nickel
applications. The converters operate in Burst Mode, mini-
mizing solution footprint and component count as well as
providing high conversion efficiency over a wide range of
load currents.
The devices include two 0.5Ω N-channel MOSFET switches
and two P-channel switches (0.5Ω, 0.8Ω). Quiescent
current is typically 16μA, making the parts ideal for bat-
tery power applications. Other features include a <1μA
shutdown current, current limiting, thermal shutdown
and output disconnect. The parts are offered in a 6-pin
ThinSOT
TM
package for fixed voltage versions or a 3mm

3mm DFN package for fixed and adjustable versions.

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:
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 3:
The LTC3531 is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
