The LT C
®
3872-1 is a constant frequency current mode
boost DC/DC controller that drives an N-channel power
MOSFET and requires very few external components. The
No R
SENSE
TM
architecture eliminates the need for a sense
resistor, improves efficiency and saves board space.
The LTC3872-1 provides excellent AC and DC load and
line regulation with ±1.5% output voltage accuracy. It
incorporates an undervoltage lockout feature that shuts
down the device when the input voltage falls below 2.3V.
LTC3872-1 has the same functionality as the standard
LTC3872 except that it has no frequency foldback in cur
-
rent limit.
High switching frequency of 550kHz allows the use of a
small inductor
. The LTC3872-1 is available in an 8-lead
low profile (1mm) ThinSOT
TM
package and 8-pin 2mm ×
3mm DFN package.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: The LTC3872-1 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that

A
. The LTC3872-1E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls. The LTC3872-1I is guaranteed
over the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range. The
LTC3872-1H is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 150°C operating junction
temperature range. The maximum ambient temperature consistent with
these specifications is determined by specific operating conditions in
conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal impedance and
other environmental factors.
