LTC3406A
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Design Example
As a design example, assume the LTC3406A is used
in a single lithium-ion battery-powered cellular phone
application. The V
4.2V down to about 2.7V. The load current requirement
is a maximum of 0.6A but most of the time it will be in
standby mode, requiring only 2mA. Effi ciency at both
low and high load currents is important. Output voltage
is 2.5V. With this information we can calculate L using

Substituting V
f = 1.5MHz in Equation (3) gives:
A 2.2μH inductor works well for this application. For best
effi ciency choose a 720mA or greater inductor with less
than 0.2Ω series resistance.
