Low power charge pump saves space in automotive, industrial applications
The LTC3245 uses switched capacitor fractional conversion to maintain regulation over a wide range of input voltage from 2.7V to 38V and produces a regulated output of 3.3V, 5V or adjustable (2.5V to 5V). Internal circuitry automatically selects a conversion ratio of 2:1, 1:1 or 1:2 to optimize efficiency as input voltage and load conditions vary.
The LTC3245’s unique constant frequency architecture with reduced switching edge rates provides lower conducted and radiated noise compared to conventional switching regulators. The device has pin selectable Burst Mode® operation, enabling the user to trade off low output ripple for better efficiency and lower quiescent current. Other features include low external parts count with ceramic capacitor stability, soft-start circuitry to prevent excessive current flow during startup, plus short circuit and thermal protection.
The LTC3245 MP grade is available in a compact 12-lead MSOP package with a backside thermal pad. Devices are available from stock. For more information, visit www.linear.com/product/LTC3245
