LTC3526L/LTC3526LB
550mA 1MHz Synchronous
Step-Up DC/DC Converters
in 2mm × 2mm DFN
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The LTC®3526L/LTC3526LB are synchronous, fixed
frequency step-up DC/DC converters with output discon-
nect. Synchronous rectification enables high efficiency in
the low profile 2mm × 2mm DFN package. Battery life in
single AA/AAA powered products is extended further with
a 680mV start-up voltage and operation down to 500mV
once started.

A switching frequency of 1MHz minimizes solution foot-
print by allowing the use of tiny, low profile inductors
and ceramic capacitors. The current mode PWM design
is internally compensated, reducing external parts count.
The LTC3526L features Burst Mode operation at light load
conditions allowing it to maintain high efficiency over a
widerangeofload.TheLTC3526LBfeaturesfixedfrequency
operation for low noise applications. Anti-ring circuitry
reduces EMI by damping the inductor in discontinuous
mode. Additional features include a low shutdown current
of under 1μA and thermal shutdown.
