FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
The LT®1307/LT1307B are micropower, fixed frequency
DC/DC converters that operate from an input voltage as
low as 1V. First in the industry to achieve true current
mode PWM performance from a single cell supply, the
LT1307 features automatic shifting to power saving Burst
Mode operation at light loads. High efficiency is main-
tained over a broad 100µA to 100mA load range. The
LT1307B does not shift into Burst Mode operation at light
loads, eliminating low frequency output ripple at the
expenseoflightloadefficiency. Thedevicescontainalow-
battery detector with a 200mV reference and shut down to
less than 5µA. No load quiescent current of the LT1307 is
50µAandtheinternalNPNpowerswitchhandlesa500mA
current with a voltage drop of just 295mV.

Unlike competitive devices, large electrolytic capacitors
are not required with the LT1307/LT1307B in single cell
applications. The high frequency (600kHz) switching al-
lows the use of tiny surface mount multilayer ceramic
(MLC) capacitors along with small surface mount induc-
tors. The devices work with just 10µF of output capaci-
tance and require only 1µF of input bypassing.
