The LTC3622 is a dual 1A output, high efficiency synchronous monolithic step-down regulator capable of operating from input supplies up to 17V. The switching frequency is fixed to 1MHz or 2.25MHz with a ±50% synchronization range to an external clock. The regulator features ultralow quiescent current and high efficiency over a wide output voltage range.

The step-down regulators operate from an input voltage range of 2.7V to 17V and provide an adjustable output from 0.6V to VIN while delivering up to 1A of output current. A user-selectable mode input is provided to allow the user to trade off ripple noise for light load efficiency.

Burst Mode operation provides the highest efficiency at light loads, while pulse-skipping mode provides the lowest ripple noise. The switching regulators can be synchronized to an external clock. Furthermore, fixed VOUT options are available to eliminate the external feedback resistors.

Features:

- Dual Step-Down Outputs: 1A Per Channel

- Wide VIN Range: 2.7V to 17V

- Wide VOUT Range: 0.6V to VIN

- Up to 95% Efficiency

- No-Load IQ = 5μA with Both Channels Enabled; IQ < 4μA with Only One Channel Enabled

- High Efficiency, Low Dropout Operation (100% Duty Cycle)
