The LTC
3564 is a high efficiency monolithic synchro-
nous buck regulator using a constant frequency, current
mode architecture. Supply current during operation is
only 20
μA, dropping to ≤1μA in shutdown. The 2.5V to
5.5V input voltage range makes the LTC3564 ideally suited
for single Li-Ion battery-powered or 3.3V to 5V input
voltage applications. 100% duty cycle provides low drop-
out operation, extending battery life in portable systems.
Automatic Burst Mode
operation increases efficiency at
light loads, further extending battery runtime.
Switching frequency is internally set at 2.25MHz, 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. Low
output voltages are easily supported with the 0.6V feed-
back reference voltage. The LTC3564 is available in low
profile (1mm) ThinSOT and 6-Lead (2mm
× 3mm) DFN
packages.
