DESCRIPTION
TheLTC®3528/LTC3528Baresynchronous,fixedfrequency
step-up DC/DC converters with output disconnect. High
efficiencysynchronousrectification,inadditiontoa700mV
start-up voltage and operation down to 500mV once
started, provides longer run time for single or multiple
cell battery-powered products.

1MHz Fixed Frequency Operation
A switching frequency of 1MHz minimizes solution
footprint by allowing the use of tiny, low profile induc-
tors and ceramic capacitors. The current mode PWM is
internally compensated, simplifying the design process.
The LTC3528 enters Burst Mode operation at light loads,
while the LTC3528B features continuous switching at light
loads. Anti-ringing circuitry reduces EMI by damping the
inductorindiscontinuousmode.Additionalfeaturesinclude
a low shutdown current, open-drain power good output,
short-circuit protection and thermal overload protection.
