LTC3423/LTC3424 Low Output Voltage, 3MHz Micropower Synchronous Boost Converters UFEATURESDESCRIPTIO ■ 1.5V to 5.5V Adjustable Output Voltage The LTC®3423 and LTC3424 are high efficiency, fixed ■ Synchronous Rectification: Up to 95% Efficiency frequency, step-up DC/DC converters that can regulate ■ 1A Switch Current (LTC3423) or output voltages as low as 1.5V from a single cell. An 2A Switch Current (LTC3424) applied voltage of at least 2.7V to the VDD pin is required ■ Fixed Frequency Operation Up to 3MHz to power the internal control circuitry. ■ Wide Input Range: 0.5V to 5.5V (Operating) The devices include a 0.16Ω N-channel MOSFET switch ■ Very Low Quiescent Current: 38 µ A (Burst Mode® and a 0.21Ω P-channel synchronous rectifier. The LTC3423 Operation) is intended for applications requiring less than 0.75W of ■ No External Schottky Diode Required output power and the LTC3424 for 1.5W or less. Switching ■ Synchronizable Switching Frequency frequencies up to 3MHz are programmed with an external ■ Burst Mode Enable Control timing resistor and the oscillator can be synchronized to ■ OPTI-LOOP® Compensation an external clock. ■ Very Low Shutdown Current: < 1µA ■ Small 10-Pin MSOP Package Quiescent current is only 38µA in Burst Mode operation, U maximizing battery life in portable applications. Burst APPLICATIO S Mode operation is user controlled and can be enabled by driving the MODE/SYNC pin high. If the MODE/SYNC pin ■ Pagers has either a clock or is driven low then the operation is at ■ Handheld Instruments constant fixed frequency. ■ Cordless Phones ■ Wireless Handsets Other features include a 1µA shutdown, thermal shutdown ■ GPS Receivers and current limit. The LTC3423 and LTC3424 are available ■ Battery Backup in the 10-lead MSOP package.
