FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
■
Output Disconnected from Input During Shutdown
The LT®1306 is a fully integrated, fixed frequency syn-
chronous boost converter capable of generating 5V at 1A
from a Li-Ion cell. The device contains both the main
power switch and synchronous rectifier on chip and
automatically disconnects the output from the input in
shutdown, eliminating the need for external load discon-
nect circuitry. Additionally, the output remains regulated
when VIN exceeds VOUT, allowing difficult step-up/step-
down converter functions to be easily realized using a
single inductor.

Quiescent Current: 160µA
Shutdown Current: 9µA Typ
■
The internal 300kHz oscillator of the LT1306 can be easily
synchronizedtoanexternalclockfrom425kHzto500kHz.
This allows switching harmonics to be tightly controlled
and eliminates any beat frequencies that may result from
amultifrequencysystem.TheLT1306automaticallyshifts
into power saving Burst ModeTM operation at light loads.
At heavy loads the LT1306 operates in fixed frequency
current mode. No-load quiescent current is 160µA and
reduces to 9µA in shutdown mode.
