The LTC
廬
1875 is a high efficiency 1.5A monolithic syn-
chronous buck regulator using a constant frequency,
current mode architecture. Operating supply current is
only 15碌A(chǔ) with no load and drops to < 1碌A(chǔ) in shutdown.
The input supply voltage range of 2.65V to 6V makes the
LTC1875 ideally suited for single Li-Ion battery-powered
applications. 100% duty cycle provides low dropout op-
eration, extending battery life in portable systems.
The switching frequency is internally set to 550kHz, allow-
ing the use of small surface mount inductors and capaci-
tors. For noise sensitive applications, the LTC1875 can be
externally synchronized from 350kHz to 750kHz. Burst
Mode operation is inhibited during synchronization or
when the SYNC/MODE pin is pulled low.
The internal synchronous switch increases efficiency and
eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode. Low
output voltages are easily supported with a 0.8V feedback
reference voltage. The LTC1875 is available in a 16-lead
SSOP package.
