The LTC
廬
3408 is a high efficiency monolithic synchro-
nous buck regulator optimized for WCDMA power ampli-
fier applications. The output voltage can be dynamically
programmed from 0.3V to 3.5V. At V
OUT
> 3.6V an internal
0.08鈩?bypass P-channel MOSFET connects V
OUT
directly
to V
IN
, eliminating power loss through the inductor.
The input voltage range is 2.5V to 5V making the LTC3408
ideally suited for single Li-Ion battery-powered applica-
tions. 100% duty cycle provides low dropout operation,
extending battery life in portable systems.
Switching frequency is internally set at 1.5MHz, allowing
the use of small surface mount inductors and capacitors.
The internal synchronous switch increases efficiency and
eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode.
The LTC3408 is available in a low profile (0.75mm) 8-lead
3mm
