The LTC3614 uses internal switches with RDS(ON) of only 25mOhms and 35mOhms to deliver efficiencies of up to 95%. Burst Mode® operation reduces no-load quiescent current to only 75µA, maximizing both light-load efficiency and run time in battery-powered applications. An adjustable Burst Mode clamp enables designers to optimize light load efficiency. For applications requiring the lowest possible noise, the LTC3614 can be configured to run in either pulse-skipping or forced continuous mode, reducing noise and potential RF interference.
Additionally, programmable switching slew rates can further reduce potential noise concerns. The LTC3614 also offers tracking capability as well as a DDR memory mode in which the device can source/sink ±3A. Additional features include optional active voltage positioning, a Power Good voltage monitor, external synchronization capability and thermal protection.
The LTC3614EUDD is available in a 3mm x 5mm QFN-24.
