LTC3400-1 600mA, 1.2MHz Micropower Synchronous Boost Converter in ThinSOT UFEATURESDESCRIPTIO ■ Up to 92% Efficiency The LTC®3400-1 is a synchronous, fixed frequency, step- ■ Generates 3.3V at 100mA from a Single AA Cell up DC/DC converter delivering high efficiency in a 6-lead ■ Low Start-Up Voltage: 0.85V ThinSOT™ package. Capable of supplying 3.3V at 100mA ■ VOUT Connected to VIN in Shutdown from a single AA cell input, the device contains an internal ■ Internal Synchronous Rectifier NMOS switch and PMOS synchronous rectifier. ■ 2.5V to 5V Output Range A switching frequency of 1.2MHz minimizes solution ■ Automatic Burst Mode® Operation footprint by allowing the use of tiny, low profile inductors ■ Logic Controlled Shutdown (< 1µA) and ceramic capacitors. The current mode PWM design is ■ Antiringing Control Minimizes EMI internally compensated, reducing external parts count. ■ Tiny External Components The LTC3400-1 features automatic shifting to power sav- ■ Low Profile (1mm) SOT-23 Package ing Burst Mode operation at light loads. In shutdown, VOUT U and VIN are connected, which allows the input battery to be APPLICATIO S used for backup power. The LTC3400-1 features low ■ Pagers shutdown current of under 1µA. ■ MP3 Players The LTC3400-1 is offered in the low profile (1mm) ■ Digital Cameras SOT-23 package. ■ LCD Bias Supplies ■ Handheld Instruments , LTC, LT and Burst Mode are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation. ■ Wireless Handsets ThinSOT is a trademark of Linear Technology Corporation. ■ GPS Receivers US Patent Numbers 5,481,178; 6,580,258; 6,304,066; 6,127,815; 6,498,466; 6,611,131.
