LT1934/LT1934-1

Micropower Step-Down Switching Regulators in Thin SOT and DFN

FEATURES DESCRIPTION n Wide Input Voltage Range: 3.2V to 34V

The LT®1934 is a micropower step-down DC/DC converter

n Micropower Operation: IQ = 12μA

with internal 400m A power switch, packaged in a low

n 5V at 250m A from 6.5V to 34V Input (LT1934) profi le (1mm) Thin SOT. With its wide input range of 3.2V n 5V at 60m A from 6.5V to 34V Input (LT1934-1) to 34V, the LT1934 can regulate a wide variety of power n 3.3V at 250m A from 4.5V to 34V Input (LT1934) sources, from 4-cell alkaline batteries and 5V logic rails n 3.3V at 60m A from 4.5V to 34V Input (LT1934-1) to unregulated wall transformers and lead-acid batteries. n Low Shutdown Current: <1μA Quiescent current is just 12μA and a zero current shut- n Low VCESAT Switch: 200m V at 300m A down mode disconnects the load from the input source, n Low Profi le (1mm) SOT-23 (Thin SOTTM) and simplifying power management in battery-powered sys-

(2mm × 3mm × 0.8mm) 6-Pin DFN Package tems. Burst Mode® operation and the low drop internal power switch result in high effi ciency over a broad range of load current.

APPLICATIONS

The LT1934 provides up to 300m A of output current. The
