40VIN/OUT, 1A Synchronous Buck-Boost DC/DC Converter
Offers 2.7V to 40V Input & Output Range
MILPITAS, CA – April 29, 2014 – The LTC3114-1 is a synchronous, current-mode buck-boost
converter that delivers up to 1A of continuous output current from a wide range of power
sources, including single-cell Li-Ion, 24V/28V industrial rails and 40V automotive inputs. The
LTC3114-1’s 2.2V to 40V input and 2.7V to 40V output range provides a regulated output with
inputs above, below or equal to the regulated output, maximizing power source flexibility and
extending battery run time over step-down only solutions. The proprietary low noise buck-boost
topology incorporated in the LTC3114-1 provides a continuous jitter-free transition between
buck and boost modes, making it ideal for RF and other noise-sensitive applications.
The device’s selectable Automatic Burst Mode® operation lowers quiescent current to
only 30μA, improving light load efficiency and further extending battery run time. The
LTC3114-1 uses a constant 1.2MHz switching frequency and features pin-programmable average
output current and current monitor. Proprietary buck-boost PWM circuitry ensures low noise and
high efficiency while minimizing the size of external components. The combination of tiny
externals and a 3mm x 5mm DFN or TSSOP-16E package provides a compact solution footprint.
The LTC3114-1 incorporates four internal low RDS(ON) N-channel MOSFETs to deliver
efficiencies of up to 96%. Automatic Burst Mode operation lowers quiescent current to only
30μA, improving light load efficiency and extending battery run time. For noise-sensitive
applications, Burst Mode operation can be disabled. Furthermore, current-mode control improves
line and load transient responses while keeping compensation simple. Additional features include
