LTC3112
15V, 2.5A Synchronous
Buck-Boost DC/DC
Converter
Description
The LTC®3112 is a fixed frequency synchronous buck-boost
DC/DC converter with an extended input and output range.
The unique 4-switch, single inductor architecture provides
low noise and seamless operation from input voltages
above, below or equal to the output voltage.
With an input range of 2.7V to 15V, the LTC3112 is well-
suited for a wide variety of single or multiple cell battery,
backup capacitor or wall adapter source applications. Low
RDS(ON) internal N-Channel MOSFET switches provide
highly efficient operation in applications with higher load
current requirements.
The LTC3112 features selectable PWM or Burst Mode
operation, an easily synchronized oscillator and output
disconnect in shutdown. An output current monitor circuit
allows the load current to be controlled or measured. Other
features include <1µA shutdown current, short circuit
protection, soft-start, current limit and thermal shutdown.
The LTC3112 is offered in both a 16-pin (4mm × 5mm ×
0.75mm) DFN and 20-pin TSSOP packages.
