The device is available in adjustable and fixed output voltage versions. Supply current during operation is only 200µA, dropping to <1µA in shutdown. The 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage range makes the LTC3410B ideally suited for single Li-Ion battery-powered applications. 100% duty cycle provides low dropout operation, extending battery life in portable systems. PWM pulse skipping mode operation provides very low output ripple voltage for noise sensitive applications. Switching frequency is internally set at 2.25MHz, allowing the use of small surface mount inductors and capacitors. The L...
