The LT
®
1961 is a 1.25MHz monolithic boost switching
regulator. A high efficiency 1.5A, 0.2Ω switch is included
on the die together with all the control circuitry required to
complete a high frequency, current-mode switching regu-
lator. Current-mode control provides fast transient re-
sponse and excellent loop stability.
New design techniques achieve high efficiency at high
switching frequencies over a wide operating voltage range.
A low dropout internal regulator maintains consistent
performance over a wide range of inputs from 24V sys-
tems to Li-Ion batteries. An operating supply current of
1mA maintains high efficiency, especially at lower output
currents. Shutdown reduces quiescent current to 6μA.
Maximum switch current remains constant at all duty
cycles. Synchronization allows an external logic level
signal to increase the internal oscillator from 1.5MHz to
2MHz.
The LT1961 is available in an exposed pad, 8-pin MSOP
package. Full cycle-by-cycle switch current limit protec-
tion and thermal shutdown are provided. High frequency
operation allows the reduction of input and output filtering
components and permits the use of chip inductors.

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 LT1961E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 125°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
LT1961I is guaranteed over the – 40ºC to 125ºC operating junction
temperature range.
Note 3: Minimum input voltage is defined as the voltage where the
internal regulator enters lockout. Actual minimum input voltage to
maintain a regulated output will depend on output voltage and load
current. See Applications Information.
