LTC3555EUFD#TRPBF Application Field and Working Principle

The LTC3555EUFD#TRPBF is a high-efficiency DC/DC step-down switching regulator with integrated power switch. It is ideal for powering applications that require a small footprint, high efficiency, and low cost. It is a perfect choice for designing high-performance and low-noise power supplies for consumer and industrial applications.

Application Field

The LTC3555EUFD#TRPBF is designed for powering cellular phones, PDAs, digital cameras, portable medical equipment, and many other consumer and industrial applications. The regulator can provide up to 4A of output current and operate from inputs up to 6V, making it ideal for battery-based systems. It offers fast-transient response and excellent load-transient performance, and it can support a wide array of output voltage ranges from 0.9V to 5.5V.

Working Principle

The LTC3555EUFD#TRPBF functions as a DC/DC buck switch regulator that is composed of an integrated power switch, an inductor and a set of external switches. The regulator works by first limiting the input voltage through the integrated power switch. The integrated power switch then controls the current through the inductor, which maintains a constant output voltage. The regulator is controlled by a feedback signal that is used to maintain the output voltage by adjusting the switching frequency of the external switches. The regulator can be configured for Burst Mode or Forced Continuous Mode operation for improved efficiency or for ripple current or noise reduction.
