LTC3499/LTC3499B 750mA Synchronous Step-Up DC/DC Converters with Reverse-Battery Protection FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Reverse-Battery Protection for DC/DC Converter The LTC®3499/LTC3499B are synchronous, fixed frequency and Load step-up DC/DC power converters with integrated reverse n High Efficiency: Up to 94% battery protection that protect and disconnect the devices n Generates 5V at 175mA from a 1.8V Input and load when the battery polarity is reversed while n Operates from 1.8V to 5.5V Input Supply delivering high efficiency in a small (3mm × 3mm) DFN n 2V to 6V Adjustable Output Voltage package. True output disconnect eliminates inrush current n Inrush Current Controlled During Start-Up and allows zero load current in shutdown. n Output Disconnnect in Shutdown The devices feature an input voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V n Low Noise 1.2MHz PWM Operation enabling operation from two alkaline or NiMH batteries. The n Tiny External Components switching frequency is internally set at 1.2MHz allowing n Automatic Burst Mode® Operation (LTC3499) the use of tiny surface mount inductors and capacitors. n Continuous Switching at Light Loads (LTC3499B) A minimal number of external components are required n Overvoltage Protection to generate output voltages ranging from 2V to 6V. The n 8-Lead (3mm × 3mm × 0.75mm) DFN LTC3499 features automatic Burst Mode operation to and MSOP Packages increase efficiency at light loads, while the LTC3499B features continuous switching at light loads. APPLICATIONS The soft-start time is externally programmable through a n Medical Equipment small capacitor. Anti-ring circuitry reduces EMI emissions n Digital Cameras by damping the inductor in discontinuous mode.
