400mA Micropower
Synchronous Step-Up DC/DC
Converter with Pass Through Mode
The LTC
®
3525D-3.3 is a high efficiency synchronous step-
up DC/DC converter that can start up with an input as low
as 0.85V. It offers a compact, high efficiency alternative to
charge pumps in single cell or dual cell alkaline or Li-Ion
applications. Only three small external components are re
-
quired. The LTC3525D features a fixed output voltage of 3.3V.
In shutdown, V
OUT
is connected to V
IN
through the inductor.
The device includes a 0.5Ω N-channel MOSFET switch and
a 0.8Ω P-channel synchronous rectifier. Peak switch current
ranges from 150mA to 400mA, depending on load, providing
enhanced efficiency. Quiescent current is an ultralow 7µA,
maximizing battery life in portable applications.
Other features include anti-ringing control and thermal
shutdown. The LTC3525D is available in a tiny 6-Lead
SC70 package.
