DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit DC2005A is a synchronous step-
down regulator using an
regulator. The DC2005A operates from an input voltage
range of 2.7V to 17V and provides an adjustable output
voltage range from 1.2V to 5V (V
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 load, while pulse-skipping mode provides the lowest
voltage ripple. The MODE pin can also be used to sync the
switching frequency to an external clock.
The switching frequency is fixed at 1MHz or 2.25MHz
with a ±40% synchronizing range. The regulator features
ultralow quiescent current and high efficiency over a wide
V
range.

DEMO MANUAL DC2005A
The DC2005A uses very low profile surface mount com-
ponents and all ceramic output capacitors. The compact
8-lead DFN (3mm × 3mm) package makes the LTC3624 an
excellent choice for battery-powered equipment, general
purpose step-down power supply, and emergency radio
applications.
It is recommended to read the data sheet and demo manual
of the LTC3624 prior using or making any changes to
DC2005A.
