LT3470
Micropower Buck Regulator
with Integrated Boost and
Catch Diodes
DescripTion
The LT
®
3470 is a micropower step-down DC/DC con-
verter that integrates a 300mA power switch, catch diode
and boost diode into low profile 3mm
×
2mm DD and
ThinSOT™ packages. The LT3470 combines Burst Mode
and continuous operation to allow the use of tiny induc-
tor and capacitors while providing a low ripple output to
loads of up to 200mA.
With its wide input range of 4V to 40V, the LT3470 can
regulate a wide variety of power sources, from 2-cell Li-Ion
batteries to unregulated wall transformers and lead-acid
batteries. Quiescent current in regulation is just 26µA in
a typical application while a zero current shutdown mode
disconnects the load from the input source, simplifying
power management in battery-powered systems. Fast
current limiting and hysteretic control protects the LT3470
and external components against shorted outputs, even
at 40V input.

specifications are guaranteed over –40°C to 150°C temperature range.
Note 3:
Bias current flows out of the FB pin.
Note 4:
This is the minimum voltage across the boost capacitor needed to
guarantee full saturation of the switch.
Note 5:
This parameter is assured by design and correlation with statistical
process controls.
