DESCRIPTION

Demonstration circuit 1123 is a I

2

C Quad Synchro-

nous  Step-Down  DC/DC  Regulators  featuring  the 

LTC3562.  The LTC3562 is a quad high efficiency 

monolithic  synchronous  step-down  regulator  with 

an I

2

C interface. Two regulators are externally ad-

justable and can have their feedback voltages pro-

grammed  between  425mV  and  800mV  in  25mV 

(Type A). The other two regulators are fixed output 

regulators  whose  output  voltages  can  be  pro-

grammed  between  600mV  and  3.775V  in  25mV 

steps  (Type  B).  All  four  regulators  operate  inde-

pendently  and  can  be  put  into  pulse  skip,  LDO, 

Burst Mode operation or forced Burst Mode opera-

tion  through  I

2

C  control.  The  Type  A  regulators 

have separate RUN pins that can be enabled if I

2

control is unavailable. 
The  2.85V  to  5.5V  input  range  makes  the  LTC-

3562  ideally  suited  for  single  Li-ion  battery  pow-

ered  applications.  At  low  output  load  conditions, 

the  regulators  can  be  switched  into  LDO,  Burst 

Mode  operation  or  forced  Burst  Mode  operation, 

extending battery life in portable systems. The qui-

escent current drops to under 100µA with all regu-

lators  in  LDO  mode  and  under  0.1µA  when  all 

regulators are shut down 
Switching  frequency  is  internally  set  to  2.25MHz, 

allowing the use of small surface mount inductors 

and  capacitors.  All  regulators  are  internally  com-

pensated. 
The  LTC3562  is  offered  in  a  low  profile  3mm 

 

3mm QFN package. 

Design files for this circuit board are available. 

Call the LTC factory.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES 

The LTC3562 is a highly integrated power man-

agement  IC  that  contains  four  I

2

C  controllable, 

monolithic, high efficiency step-down regulators. 

Two  regulators  provide  up  to  600ma  of  output 

current and the other two regulators produce up 

to 400ma. All four regulators are 2.25MHz, con-

stant-frequency,  current  mode  switching  regula-

tors that can be independently controlled through 

I
