The LTC
廬
1872 is a constant frequency current mode step-
up DC/DC controller providing excellent AC and DC load
and line regulation. The device incorporates an accurate
undervoltage lockout feature that shuts down the LTC1872
when the input voltage falls below 2.0V.
The LTC1872 boasts a
鹵2.5%
output voltage accuracy and
consumes only 270碌A(chǔ) of quiescent current. For applica-
tions where efficiency is a prime consideration, the LTC1872
is configured for Burst Mode operation, which enhances
efficiency at low output current.
In shutdown, the device draws a mere 8碌A(chǔ). The high
550kHz constant operating frequency allows the use of a
small external inductor.
The LTC1872 is available in a small footprint 6-lead
SOT-23.
