The LTC
廬
3459 is a low current, high efficiency synchronous
boost converter intended for low power, size constrained
portable applications. The LTC3459 can be powered from
a single lithium ion battery, a 2- to 3-cell stack of Alkaline
or Nickel batteries, or any low impedance voltage source
between 1.5V and 5.5V. The output is programmable via
an external divider between 2.5V and 10V. Although the part
is primarily intended for boost applications, V
OUT
will
maintain regulation below V
IN
(at reduced efficiency).
The LTC3459 offers Burst Mode operation with a fixed
peak current, providing high conversion efficiency over a
wide range of load currents. During start-up, inductor
current is controlled preventing the inrush surge current
found in many boost converters. In shutdown the output
is disconnected from the input and quiescent current is
reduced to <1碌A(chǔ).
The LTC3459 is offered in a low profile (1mm) 6-pin
SOT-23 (ThinSOT
TM
) package allowing a tiny footprint for
the total solution.
