FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
The LT®3472 dual channel switching regulator generates
positive and negative outputs for biasing CCD imagers.
The device delivers up to –8V at 50mA and 15V at 20mA
from a lithium-ion cell, providing bias for many popular
CCD imagers. Switching at 1.1MHz, the LT3472 uses tiny,
low profile capacitors and inductors and generates low
noise outputs that are easy to filter. Schottky diodes are
internal and the output voltages are set with one resistor
per channel, reducing external component count. The
entire solution is less than 1mm profile and occupies just
50mm2.

Available in a 10-Lead (3mm × 3mm) DFN Package
Internal sequencing circuitry disables the negative chan-
nel until the positive channel has reached 88% of its final
value, ensuring that the sum of the two outputs is always
positive. Separate soft-start capacitors for each output
allow the ramp of each output to be independently
controlled.
