DESCRIPTION

The LTC®3454 is a synchronous buck-boost DC/DC converter optimized for driving a single high power LED at currents up to 1A from a single cell Li-Ion battery input. The regulator operates in either synchronous buck, synchronous boost, or buck-boost mode depending on input voltage and LED forward voltage. PLED/PIN effi ciency greater than 90% can be achieved over the entire usable range of a Li-Ion battery (2.7V to 4.2V).

FEATURES
