MILPITAS, CA – March 15, 2010 – The LTC3616 is a high efficiency, 4MHz synchronous buck regulator from Linear Technology that incorporates a constant frequency, current mode architecture. Low resistance internal switches allow the LTC3616 to deliver up to 6A of continuous output current from a 3mm x 5mm QFN package and its low dropout operation allows the output voltage to range from 0.6V to just millivolts below VIN. The LTC3616 operates from an input voltage of 2.25V to 5.5V, making it ideal for single-cell Li-Ion applications as well as 3.3V or 5V intermediate bus systems. Its switching frequency is user programmable from 300 … Read More → "6A, 4MHz, Synchronous Step-Down Regulator in a 3mm x 5mm QFN"
