LTC7804 Low IQ Synchronous Boost Controller FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Synchronous Operation for Highest Efficiency and The LTC®7804 is a high performance synchronous boost Reduced Heat Dissipation DC/DC switching regulator control er that drives an al n Wide VIN Range: 4.5V to 40V and Operates Down to N-channel power MOSFET stage. Synchronous rectifica- 1V After Start-Up tion increases efficiency, reduces power losses and eases n Output Voltage Up to 40V thermal requirements. A constant frequency current mode n Low Operating IQ: 14μA architecture allows a phase-lockable switching frequency n Spread Spectrum Operation of up to 3MHz. The LTC7804 operates from a wide 4.5V n Pass-Thru/100% Duty Cycle Capability for to 40V input supply range. When biased from the boost Synchronous MOSFET converter output , the LTC7804 can operate from an input n RSENSE or Inductor DCR Current Sensing supply as low as 1V after startup. n Programmable Fixed Frequency (100kHz to 3MHz) The very low no-load quiescent current extends operating n Phase-Lockable Frequency (100kHz to 3MHz) runtime in battery powered systems. OPTI-LOOP com- n Selectable Continuous, Pulse-Skipping, or Low pensation allows the transient response to be optimized Ripple Burst Mode® Operation at Light Loads over a wide range of output capacitance and ESR values. n Low Shutdown IQ: 1.2μA The MODE pin selects among Burst Mode operation, n Thermally Enhanced 16-Pin 3mm × 3mm QFN and pulse-skipping mode, or continuous inductor current MSOP Packages mode at light loads. The LTC7804 additionally features spread spectrum oper- APPLICATIONS ation which significantly reduces the peak radiated and n Automotive and Transportation conducted noise on both the input and output supplies, n Industrial making it easier to comply with electromagnetic interfer- n Military/Avionics ence (EMI) standards. n Telecommunications All registered trademarks and trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
