DESCRIPTION
The LTC®3544 is a quad, high efficiency, monolithic synchronous buck regulator using a constant-frequency, current mode architecture. The four regulators operate independently with separate run pins. The 2.25V to 5.5V input voltage range makes the LTC3544 well suited for single Li-Ion/polymer battery-powered applications. 100% duty cycle provides low dropout operation, extending battery runtime in portable systems. Low ripple Burst Mode® operation increases efficiency at light loads, further extending battery runtime with typically only 20mV of ripple.
