The LTC3129EUD is a high efficiency, 200mA buck-boost DC/DC converter with a wide VIN and VOUT range. It includes an accurate RUN pin threshold to allow predictable regulator turn-on and a maximum power point control (MPPC) capability that ensures maximum power extraction from non-ideal power sources such as photovoltaic panels.
The LTC3129EUD employs an ultralow noise, 1.2MHz PWM switching architecture that minimizes solution footprint by allowing the use of tiny, low profile inductors and ceramic capacitors. Built-in loop compensation and soft-start simplify the design. For high efficiency operation at light loads, automatic Burst Mode operation can be selected, reducing the quiescent current to just 1.3μA.
Additional features include a power good output, less than 10nA of shutdown current and thermal shutdown.
The LTC3129EUD is available in thermally enhanced 3mm × 3mm QFN and 16-lead MSOP packages. For fixed output voltage options, see the functionally equivalent LTC3129-1, which eliminates the need for an external feedback divider.
