廬
1874 is a dual constant frequency current mode
step-down DC/DC controller with excellent AC and DC load
and line regulation. Each controller has an accurate
undervoltage lockout that shuts down the individual con-
troller when the input voltage falls below 2.0V.
The LTC1874 boasts
鹵2.5%
output voltage accuracy and
consumes only 270碌A of quiescent current per controller.
The LTC1874 is configured with Burst Mode operation,
which enhances efficiency at low output current for appli-
cations where efficiency is a prime consideration.
To further maximize the life of a battery source, each
external P-channel MOSFET is turned on continuously in
dropout (100% duty cycle). In shutdown, each controller
draws a mere 8碌A. High constant operating frequency of
550kHz allows the use of small external inductors.
The LTC1874 is available in a small footprint 16-lead
narrow SSOP.
