DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®3400-1 is a synchronous, fixed frequency, step-
up DC/DC converter delivering high efficiency in a 6-lead
ThinSOT™ package. Capable of supplying 3.3V at 100mA
from a single AA cell input, the device contains an internal
NMOS switch and PMOS synchronous rectifier.
A switching frequency of 1.2MHz minimizes solution
footprint 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 LTC3400-1 features automatic shifting to power sav-
ing Burst Mode operation at light loads. In shutdown, VOUT
and VIN are connected, which allows the input battery to be
used for backup power. The LTC3400-1 features low
shutdown current of under 1µA.
The LTC3400-1 is offered in the low profile (1mm)
SOT-23 package.
