3563f

500mA, Synchronous

Step-Down DC/DC Converter

with Selectable Output Voltage

The LTC

nous buck converter using a constant frequency, current

mode architecture. A voltage select input allows the user

to program the output voltage to 1.28V or 1.87V. Supply

current during operation is only 26µA, dropping to <1µA in

shutdown. The 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage range makes the

LTC3563 ideally suited for single Li-Ion battery-powered

applications. 100% duty cycle provides low dropout opera-

tion, extending battery life in portable systems. Internal

power switches are optimized to provide high efficiency

and eliminate the need for an external Schottky diode.

The switching frequency is internally set at 2.25MHz,

allowing the use of small surface mount inductors and

capacitors. The LTC3563 is specifically designed to work

well with ceramic output capacitors, achieving very low

output voltage ripple and a small PCB footprint.

The LTC3563 is configured for the power saving Burst

Mode Operation.
