Description
The LTC^®3630 is a high efficiency step-down DC/DC
converter with internal high side and synchronous power
switches that draws only 12μA typical DC supply current
while maintaining a regulated output voltage at no load.
The LTC3630 can supply up to 500mA load current and
features a programmable peak current limit that provides
a simple method for optimizing efficiency and for reduc-
ing output ripple and component size. The LTC3630’s
combination of Burst Mode^® operation, integrated power
switches, low quiescent current, and programmable peak
current limit provides high efficiency over a broad range
of load currents.
With its wide input range of 4V to 65V, the LTC3630 is a
robust converter suited for regulating a wide variety of
power sources. Additionally, the LTC3630 includes a precise
run threshold and soft-start feature to guarantee that the
power system start-up is well-controlled in any environ-
ment. A feedback comparator output enables multiple
LTC3630s to be paralleled in higher current applications.
The LTC3630 is available in the thermally-enhanced
3mm × 5mm DFN and the MSE16 packages.
