LT1946A 2.7MHz Boost DC/DC Converter with 1.5A Switch and Soft-Start UFEATURESDESCRIPTIO ■ 1.5A, 36V Internal Switch The LT®1946A is a fixed frequency step-up DC/DC con- ■ 2.7MHz Switching Frequency verter containing an internal 1.5A, 36V switch. Capable of ■ Integrated Soft-Start Function generating 12V at 430mA from a 5V input, the LT1946A is ■ Adjustable Output from V ideal for powering large TFT-LCD panels. The LT1946A IN to 35V ■ Low V switches at 2.7MHz, allowing the use of tiny, low profile CESAT Switch: 300mV at 1.5A (Typical) ■ 12V at 430mA from a 5V Input inductors and low value ceramic capacitors. Loop com- ■ Small Thermally Enhanced 8-Lead MSOP Package pensation can be either internal or external, giving the user flexibility in setting loop compensation and allowing opti- U mized transient response with low ESR ceramic output APPLICATIO S capacitors. Soft-start is controlled with an external capaci- ■ tor which determines the input current ramp rate during TFT-LCD Bias Supplies ■ start up. The 8-lead MSOP package and high switching GPS Receivers ■ frequency ensure a low profile overall solution less than DSL Modems ■ 1.1mm high.
