DESCRIPTION
The LTC®3620 is a high efficiency, synchronous buck regulator, suitable for very low power, very small footprint applications powered by a single Li-Ion battery.
The internal synchronous switches increase efficiency and eliminate the need for external Schottky diodes. Low output voltages are easily supported by the 0.6V feedback reference voltage. The LTC3620-1 option is internally programmed to provide a 1.1V output.
