DESCRIPTION
Demonstration Circuit DC3123A features the
dual 5V, 2A Synchronous Step-Down DC/DC regulators
operating at 2MHz. One regulator provides a 1.2V output
and the other provides 1.8V, both up to a 2A load. The
LTC3315A supports adjustable output voltages from 0.5V
to V
, operating frequencies from 1MHz up to 3MHz. The
IN
LTC3315A is a compact, high efficiency, and high speed
synchronous monolithic step-down switching regulator.
Fast minimum on-time of 25ns enables high V
V
conversion at high frequency.
OUT
The DC3123A operating mode may be selected as Burst
Mode operation, Skip mode or Forced Continuous (FC)
mode. Setting JP1 to the FC/SYNC position will allow

the LTC3315A to sync to a clock frequency from 1MHz
to 3MHz. The LTC3315A operates in Forced Continuous
mode when syncing to an external clock.
The LTC3315A data sheet gives a complete description
of the device, operation and application information. The
data sheet must be read in conjunction with this demo.
The LTC3315A is assembled in a 1.6mm × 1.6mm WLCSP
package.
