Overview

The LT3470EDDB#TRMPBF is a Micropower Buck Regulator designed for high efficiency over a wide range of input voltages from 4V to 40V. It integrates both the boost and catch diodes into a compact 3mm x 2mm DFN package, minimizing external component count for space-constrained designs. The device utilizes Burst Mode operation to maintain low quiescent current at light loads, making it ideal for battery-powered systems requiring standby efficiency.

Why Choose This Part

This regulator features integrated boost and catch diodes, significantly reducing the PCB area and bill-of-materials complexity. Its low 18uA quiescent current and 0.5uA shutdown current are critical for maximizing uptime in battery-operated electronics.

Applications

Automotive Battery Regulation
Handles 4V to 40V input transients, making it suitable for automotive 12V bus systems that require small, efficient step-down conversion.
Industrial Control Supplies
Regulates industrial 24V rails down to low voltage logic levels with minimal heat dissipation in a tiny footprint.
Wall Transformer Regulation
Provides a robust solution for unregulated wall adapters that can see significant voltage fluctuations.
Portable Products
Extends battery life in handheld devices by drawing only 18uA of quiescent current during light load operation.

Getting Started

Designers should prioritize placing the input capacitor and the VOUT feedback resistors close to the IC to minimize noise and improve regulation. Evaluation of the design can be performed using the Analog Devices DC992A demonstration board, which highlights the LT3470's ability to drive up to 200mA from 40V inputs.
