LTC3561A  
1A, 4MHz, Synchronous  
Step-Down DC/DC Converter  
FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
The LTC®3561A is a constant frequency, synchronous  
step-down DC/DC converter. Intended for medium power  
applications, it operates from a 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage  
range and has a user configurable operating frequency up  
to 4MHz, allowing the use of tiny, low cost capacitors and  
inductors 1mm or less in height. The output voltage is  
adjustable from 0.8V to 5.5V. Internal synchronous power  
switches provide high efficiency. The LTC3561A’s current  
mode architecture and external compensation allow the  
transient response to be optimized over a wide range of  
loads and output capacitors.  
Uses Tiny Capacitors and Inductor  
High Frequency Operation: Up to 4MHz  
Low R  
Internal Switches: 0.15Ω  
DS(ON)  
High Efficiency: Up to 96%  
Stable with Ceramic Capacitors  
Current Mode Operation for Excellent Line  
and Load Transient Response  
Short-Circuit Protected  
Low Dropout Operation: 100% Duty Cycle  
Low Shutdown Current: I ≤ 1μA  
Q
Low Quiescent Current: 330μA  
Output Voltages from 0.8V to 5V  
To further maximize battery life, the P-channel MOSFET  
is turned on continuously in dropout (100% duty cycle).  
In shutdown, the device draws <1μA.

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 LTC3561AEDD is guaranteed to meet specified performance  
specifications from 0°C to 85°C junction temperature. Specifications over  
the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by  
design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls.  
The LTC3561AIDD is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating  
junction temperature range.  
Note 5: T is calculated from the ambient T and power dissipation P  
according to the following formulas:  
J
A
D
T = T + (P • 43°C/W)  
J
A
D
Note 6: Switch on-resistance is sampled at wafer level measurements and  
assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process  
controls.  
Note 7: 4MHz operation is guaranteed by design but not production tested  
and is subject to duty cycle limitations (see Applications Information).  
Note 8: 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 impair device reliability.  
Note 3: The LTC3561A is tested in a feedback loop which servos V to the  
FB  
midpoint for the error amplifier (V = 0.7V).  
ITH  
Note 4: Dynamic supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge  
being delivered at the switching frequency.

When the input supply voltage decreases toward the

is the dropout condition. In dropout, the PMOS switch

efficiency and component size. High frequency operation  
allows the use of smaller inductor and capacitor values.  
Operation at lower frequencies improves efficiency by  
reducing internal gate charge losses but requires larger  
inductance values and/or capacitance to maintain low  
output ripple voltage.  
The inductor ripple current decreases with larger induc-  
tance or frequency, and increases with higher V or V  
.

Accepting larger values of ΔI allows the use of lower

several ways, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3. In both

In a majority of applications, the LTC3561A does not  
dissipate much heat due to its high efficiency. However,  
in applications where the LTC3561A is running at high  
ambient temperature with low supply voltage and high  
duty cycles, such as in dropout, the heat dissipated may  
exceed the maximum junction temperature of the part. If  
the junction temperature reaches approximately 150°C,  
both power switches will be turned off and the SW node  
will become high impedance.

Choosing the closest inductor from a vendor of 2.2μH,  
results in a maximum ripple current of:  
As an example, consider the case when the LTC3561A  
is in dropout at an input voltage of 3.3V with a load cur-  
rent of 1A. From the Typical Performance Characteristics  
graph of Switch Resistance, the R

Board Layout Considerations  
5. A ground plane is preferred, but if not available, route all  
small-signal components back to the SGND pin (Exposed  
Pad).AllSGNDandPGNDpinsmustbeconnectedtogether  
through a thick copper trace or ground plane.  
When laying out the printed circuit board, the following  
checklist should be used to ensure proper operation of  
the LTC3561A. These items are also illustrated graphically  
in the layout diagram of Figure 6. Check the following in  
your layout:  
6. Flood all unused areas on all layers with copper. Flood-  
ing with copper will reduce the temperature rise of power  
components. These copper areas should be connected to  
the Exposed Pad for best results.
