The LTC®3250-1.5 is a charge pump step-down DC/DC converter that produces a 1.5V regulated output from a 3.1V to 5.5V input. The part uses switched capacitor fractional conversion to achieve a typical efficiency increase of 50% over that of a linear regulator. No inductors are required.
A unique constant frequency architecture provides a low noise regulated output as well as lower input noise than conventional charge pump regulators.* High frequency operation (fOSC = 1.5MHz) simplifies filtering to further reduce conducted noise. The part also uses Burst Mode® operation to improve efficiency at light loads.
Low operating current (35mA with no load, <1A inshutdown) and low external parts count (three smallceramic capacitors) make the LTC3250-1.5 ideally suited for space constrained battery powered applications. The part is short-circuit and overtemperature protected, and is available in a low profile (1mm) 6-pin ThinSOT package.
