LTC3458L
1.7A, 1.5MHz Synchronous
Step-Up DC/DC Converter
with Output Disconnect
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®3458L is a high efficiency, current mode, fixed
frequency, step up DC/DC converter with true output
disconnect and inrush current limiting. The LTC3458L is
rated for up to 6V output and includes a 0.2Ω N-channel
MOSFET switch and a 0.3Ω P-channel MOSFET synchro-
nous rectifier. The LTC3458L is well suited for battery
powered applications and includes programmable output
voltage, switching frequency and loop compensation. The
oscillator frequency can be set up to 1.5MHz or synchro-
nized to an external clock.
Quiescent current is only 12μA during Burst Mode opera-
tion maximizing battery life in portable applications. The
Burst Mode current threshold, peak current limit, and soft-
start are externally programmable. Other features include
<1μA shutdown current, antiringing control, and thermal
limit. The LTC3458L is available in a low profile (0.75mm),
4mm × 3mm 12-pin DFN package.
