LTC3534
7V, 500mA Synchronous
Buck-Boost DC/DC
Converter
DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
3534 is a wide V
IN
range, highly efficient, fixed
frequency, buck-boost DC/DC converter that operates
from input voltages above, below or equal to the output
voltage. The topology incorporated in the IC provides a
continuous transfer function through all operating modes,
making the product ideal for multi-cell Alkaline/NiMH or
single Lithium-Ion/Polymer applications where the output
voltage is within the battery voltage range.
The LTC3534 offers extended V
IN
and V
OUT
ranges of 2.4V
to 7V and 1.8V to 7V, respectively. Quiescent current is
only 25μA in Burst Mode operation, maximizing battery
life in portable applications. Burst Mode operation is user
controlled and can be enabled by driving the PWM pin
low. If the PWM pin is driven high then fixed frequency
switching is enabled.
Other features include fixed 1MHz operating frequency, a
<1μA shutdown, short-circuit protection, programmable
soft-start, current limit and thermal overload protection.
The LTC3534 is available in the thermally enhanced 16-lead
(3mm
×
5mm) DFN and 16-lead GN packages.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LTC3534E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
Note 3:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may result in device degradation or failure.
Note 4:
The IC is tested in a feedback loop to make this measurement.
Note 5:
Current Measurements are performed when the outputs are not
switching.
