Analog Devices Inc. LTC3307A/B Step-Down Silent Switcher™

Analog Devices Inc. LTC3307A/B Step-Down Silent Switcher™ is a very small, high efficiency, low noise, monolithic synchronous 3A step-down DC-DC converter operating from a 2.25V to 5.5V input supply. Using constant frequency, peak current mode control at switching frequencies up to 3MHz, and minimum on-time as low as 22ns, the LTC3307A/B achieves fast transient response with small external components. The Silent Switcher architecture also minimizes EMI emissions. 

The LTC3307A/B operates in forced continuous or pulse skip mode for low noise, or low-ripple Burst Mode operation for high efficiency at light loads, ideal for battery powered systems. The IC regulates output voltages as low as 500mV. Other features include output overvoltage/short-circuit protection, thermal shutdown, clock synchronization, and up to 100% duty cycle operation for low dropout. The device is available in a 2mm × 2mm × 0.74mm Low-Profile Quad Flat No-Lead (LQFN) package, with an exposed pad for low thermal resistance.
