Analog Devices Inc. LTC3256 Step-Down Charge Pump DC/DC Converters

Analog Devices Inc. LTC3256 Step-Down Charge Pump Converters are switched capacitor step-down DC/DC converters that generate two regulated outputs over a wide input range. The first regulated output is a 5V output with a direct connection to the charge pump output. The second regulated output is a 3.3V output via low dropout (LDO) linear post-regulator. The converters provide a total output current up to 350mA. Power dissipation is reduced by over 2W at 12V VIN and maximum load on the two outputs.

The LTC3256 from Analog Devices maximizes efficiency by running the charge pump in 2:1 mode over a wide operating range. The converters automatically switch to 1:1 mode as needed based on VIN and load conditions. The devices' controlled input current and switching slew rates minimize both conducted and radiated EMI. Reliable system operation and fault monitoring are ensured through an integrated watchdog timer, independent power good outputs, and reset input. LTC3256's buffered 1.1V reference output allows system self-testing for safety-critical applications.
