Linear Technology announces the LTC3544, a quad channel, high efficiency, 2.25 MHz, synchronous buck regulator that delivers up to 300mA, dual 200mA and 100mA continuous outputs from a 3mm x 3mm QFN package. Using a constant frequency current mode architecture, the LTC3544 operates from an input voltage range of 2.25V to 5.5V, making it ideal for single-cell Li-Ion/polymer, or multicell alkaline/NiCad/NiMH applications. It can generate output voltages as low as 0.8V, enabling it to power the latest generation of low voltage DSPs and microcontrollers. Its 2.25MHz switching frequency enables the utilization of tiny, low cost ceramic capacitors and inductors less than a 1mm in height, which combined with a 3mm x 3mm QFN package, provide a very compact quad output solution.
The LTC3544's Burst Mode® operation minimizes quiescent current to only 70uA total for all four channels under no load conditions. For applications that require the lowest noise possible, the LTC3544B uses a pulse skipping mode in lieu of Burst Mode operation for lowest output ripple. Both devices deliver efficiencies as high as 95% and offer shutdown current less than 1uA. The LTC3544 and LTC3544B utilize low dropout 100% duty cycle operation, allowing output voltages equal to VIN, further extending battery run-time. Each channel has independent enable pins and internal soft-start, further enhancing design flexibility. Other features include short-circuit protection and over-temperature protection.
The LTC3544EUD and LTC3544BEUD are both available from stock in 16-lead 3mm x 3mm QFN packages.

QrCode
What its a QR code?
Three steps: Scanning of a QR code: Find your way to a press release without typing. Use the QR code on the print version of a press release to get redirected to the corresponding page on PresseBox.
How does scanning a QR code work? Just follow these simple steps.
Everything you need is an internet-enabled mobile phone or smartphone with a built-in camera and a QR code reading software.
QR stands for Quick Response - with one step you can quickly reach a website. QR codes work like bar codes, which you can find on your milk carton, for example. A software decrypts the QR code and directs you to a web page - so you do not even need to know the web address to reach it.
