The LTC
3404 is a high efficiency monolithic synchro-
nous buck regulator using a constant frequency, current
mode architecture. Supply current during operation is
only 10
A and drops to < 1
A in shutdown. The 2.65V to
6V input voltage range makes the LTC3404 ideally suited
for single Li-Ion battery-powered applications. 100% duty
cycle provides low dropout operation, extending battery
life in portable systems.
Switching frequency is internally set at 1.4MHz, allowing
the use of small surface mount inductors and capacitors.
For noise sensitive applications the LTC3404 can be
externally synchronized from 1MHz to 1.7MHz. Burst
Mode operation is inhibited during synchronization or
when the SYNC/MODE pin is pulled low, preventing low
frequency ripple from interfering with audio circuitry.
The internal synchronous switch increases efficiency and
eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode. Low
output voltages are easily supported with the 0.8V feed-
back reference voltage. The LTC3404 is available in a
space saving 8-lead MSOP package.
For higher input voltage (11V abs max) applications, refer
to the LTC1877 data sheet.

C to 70
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: T
