DESCRIPTION

The LTC®3562 is a quad high efficiency monolithic synchronous step-down regulator with an I2C interface. Two regulators are externally adjustable and can have their feedback voltages programmed between 425mV and 800mV in 25mV steps (Type A). The other two regulators are fixed output regulators whose output voltages can be programmed between 600mV and 3.775V in 25mV steps (Type B). All four regulators operate independently and can be put into pulse skip, LDO, Burst Mode operation, or forced Burst Mode operation through I2C control. The Type-A regulators have separate RUN pins that can be enabled if I2C control is unavailable.
