DescripTion
Ultralow Voltage Step-Up
Converter and Power Manager
The LT C
®
3108 is a highly integrated DC/DC converter ideal
for harvesting and managing surplus energy from extremely
low input voltage sources such as TEGs (thermoelectric
generators), thermopiles and small solar cells. The step-up
topology operates from input voltages as low as 20mV.
The LTC3108 is functionally equivalent to the LTC3108-1
except for its unique fixed V
OUT
options.
Using a small step-up transformer, the LTC3108 provides a
complete power management solution for wireless sensing
and data acquisition. The 2.2V LDO powers an external
microprocessor, while the main output is programmed to
one of four fixed voltages to power a wireless transmitter
or sensors. The power good indicator signals that the main
output voltage is within regulation. A second output can be
enabled by the host. A storage capacitor provides power
when the input voltage source is unavailable. Extremely
low quiescent current and high efficiency design ensure
the fastest possible charge times of the output reservoir
capacitor.
The LTC3108 is available in a small, thermally enhanced
12-lead (3mm × 4mm) DFN package and a 16-lead SSOP
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 LTC3108 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that T
J
T
A
. The LTC3108E is guaranteed to meet specifications from 0°C to 85°C
junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C to 125°C operating
junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls. The LTC3108I is guaranteed
over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range.
Note that the maximum ambient temperature is determined by specific
operating conditions in conjunction with board layout, the rated thermal
package thermal resistance and other environmental factors. The junction
temperature (T
J
) is calculated from the ambient temperature (T
A
) and
power dissipation (P
D
) according to the formula: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
θ
JA
°C/W),
where θ
JA
is the package thermal impedance.
Note 3: Specification is guaranteed by design and not 100% tested in
production.
Note 4: Failure to solder the exposed backside of the package to the PC
board ground plane will result in a thermal resistance much higher than
43°C/W.
Note 5: The absolute maximum rating is a DC rating. Under certain
conditions in the applications shown, the peak AC voltage on the C2 pin
may exceed ±8V. This behavior is normal and acceptable because the
current into the pin is limited by the impedance of the coupling capacitor.
