LTC3416(RevA) Datasheet PDF - Linear Technology

DESCRIPTION
The LTC®3416 is a high efficiency monolithic synchronous, step-down DC/DC converter utilizing a constant frequency, current mode architecture. It operates from an input voltage range of 2.25V to 5.5V and provides a regulated output voltage from 0.8V to 5V while delivering up to 4A of output current. The internal synchronous power switch with 67mΩ of on-resistance increases efficiency and eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode. Switching frequency is set by an external resistor. 100% duty cycle provides low dropout operation extending battery life in portable systems. OPTI-LOOP® compensation allows the transient response to be optimized over a wide range of loads and output capacitors.
