LTC3525L-3 400mA Micropower Synchronous Step-Up DC/DC Converter with Output Disconnect FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Start-Up at 0.7V Typical, 0.88V Guaranteed The LTC®3525L-3 is a high efficiency synchronous step- n Up to 95% Efficiency up DC/DC converter with output disconnect that can n Output Disconnect and Inrush Current Limit start up with an input as low as 0.7V. It offers a compact, n 3V Fixed Output Voltage high efficiency alternative to charge pumps in single n Delivers 65mA at 3V from a 1V Input or 160mA cell or dual cell alkaline applications. Only three small from a 1.8V Input external components are required. The LTC3525L-3 n Burst Mode® Operation: IQ = 7µA generates a fixed 3V output voltage. n VIN: 0.5V to 4.5V The device includes a 0.5 N-channel MOSFET switch n Only Three External Components and a 0.85 P-channel synchronous rectifier. Peak switch n VIN > VOUT Operation current ranges from 150mA to 400mA, depending on n <1µA Shutdown Current load, providing enhanced efficiency. Quiescent current n Anti-Ringing Control is an ultralow 7µA, maximizing battery life in portable n Short-Circuit and Overtemperature Protection applications. n Tiny 6-Pin SC70 Package Other features include <1µA shutdown current, anti- APPLICATIONS ringing control and thermal shutdown. The LTC3525L-3 is available in a tiny 6-pin SC70 package. n MP3 Players L, LT, LTC, LTM, Burst Mode, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks n Portable Instruments and ThinSOT is a trademark of Linear Technology Corporation.
