500mA 1MHz Synchronous
Step-Up DC/DC Converters
in 2mm × 2mm DFN
The LTC
®
3526/LTC3526B are synchronous, fixed frequency
step-up DC/DC converters with output disconnect. Syn-
chronous rectification enables high efficiency in the low
profile 2mm × 2mm DFN package. Battery life in single
AA/AAA powered products is extended further with an
850mV 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
LTC3526 features automatic Burst Mode operation at light
load conditions, while the LTC3526B features continuous
switching at light loads. Anti-ringing control circuitry also
reduces EMI concerns by damping the inductor in discon-
tinuous mode. Additional features include a low shutdown
current of under 1µA and thermal shutdown.
The LTC3526/LTC3526B are housed in a 2mm × 2mm ×
0.75mm DFN package.
For new designs, we recommend the LTC3526L/LTC3526LB.

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 LTC3526E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
Note 3: Specification is guaranteed by design and not 100% tested in
production.
Note 4: Current measurements are made when the output is not switching.
Note 5: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may result in device degradation or failure.
Note 6: Failure to solder the exposed backside of the package to the PC
board ground plane will result in a thermal resistance much higher than
102°C/W.
