LT3473/LT3473A Micropower 1A Boost Converter with Schottky and Output Disconnect UFEATURESDESCRIPTIO ■ Tiny Solution Size The LT®3473/LT3473A are micropower step-up DC/DC ■ Low Quiescent Current: converters with integrated Schottky diode and output 150 µ A in Active Mode (VIN = 3.6V, VOUT = 15V, disconnect circuitry in low profile DFN packages. The No Load) small package size, high level of integration and the use of 1 µ A in Shutdown Mode tiny SMT components yield a solution size of less than ■ Internal 1A, 36V Switch 50mm2. The internal 1A switch allows the device to deliver ■ Integrated Schottky Diode 25V at up to 80mA from a Li-Ion cell, while automatic Burst ■ Integrated PNP Output Disconnect Mode operation maintains efficiency at light load. An ■ Internal Reference Override Pin auxiliary reference input (CTRL) allows the user to over- ■ PGOOD Pin ride the internal 1.25V feedback reference with any lower ■ 25V at 80mA from 3.6V Input value, allowing full control of the output voltage during ■ Auxiliary NPNs for Intermediate operation. A PGOOD pin sinks current when the output Bias Voltages (LT3473A) voltage reaches 90% of final value. ■ Automatic Burst Mode® Operation at Light Load ■ Constant Switching Frequency: 1.2MHz The LT3473A includes two NPN transistors for generating ■ Thermal Shutdown intermediate bias voltages from the output and is offered ■ Input Range: 2.2V to 16V in a 12-lead (4mm × 3mm) DFN package. The LT3473 ■ Low Profile (3mm × 3mm) DFN Package (LT3473) does not include these NPNs and is offered in an 8-lead ■ Low Profile (4mm × 3mm) DFN Package (LT3473A) (3mm × 3mm) package. U The rugged 36V switch and output disconnect circuitry APPLICATIO S allow outputs up to 34V to be easily generated in a simple ■ OLED Bias boost topology. ■ CCD Bias , LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
