The LT
廬
1616 is a current mode PWM step-down DC/DC
converter with internal 0.6A power switch, packaged in a
tiny 6-lead SOT-23. The wide input range of 3.6V to 25V
makes the LT1616 suitable for regulating a wide variety of
power sources, from 4-cell batteries and 5V logic rails to
unregulated wall transformers and lead-acid batteries. Its
high operating frequency allows the use of tiny, low cost
inductors and ceramic capacitors. With its internal com-
pensation eliminating additional components, a complete
400mA step-down regulator fits onto 0.15 square inches
of PC board area.
The constant frequency current mode PWM architecture
and stable operation with ceramic capacitors results in
low, predictable output ripple. Current limiting provides
protection against shorted outputs. The low current (<1碌A(chǔ))
shutdown provides complete output disconnect, enabling
easy power management in battery-powered systems.
