LT1944 Dual Micropower Step-Up DC/DC Converter UFEATURESDESCRIPTIO ■ Low Quiescent Current: The LT®1944 is a dual micropower step-up DC/DC con- 20 µ A in Active Mode verter in a 10-pin MSOP package. Each converter is <1 µ A in Shutdown Mode designed with a 350mA current limit and an input voltage ■ Operates with V range of 1.2V to 15V, making the LT1944 ideal for a wide IN as Low as 1.2V ■ Low V variety of applications. Both converters feature a quies- CESAT Switch: 250mV at 300mA ■ Uses Small Surface Mount Components cent current of only 20µA at no load, which further reduces ■ High Output Voltage: Up to 34V to 0.5µA in shutdown.
