Linear Technology
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®3446 combines a synchronous buck DC/DC converter with two very low dropout (VLDO) linear regulators to provide up to three stepped-down output voltages from a single input voltage. The input voltage range is ideally suited for Li-Ion battery-powered applications, as well as powering low voltage logic from 5V or 3.3V rails. The output voltage range extends down to 0.4V for the VLDO regulators and 0.8V for the buck.
