LT1304/LT1304-3.3/LT1304-5
Micropower
DC/DC Converters with
Low-Battery Detector
Active in Shutdown
The LT
®
1304 is a micropower step-up DC/DC converter
ideal for use in small, low voltage, battery-operated sys-
tems. The devices operate from a wide input supply range
of 1.5V to 8V. The LT1304-3.3 and LT1304-5 generate
regulated outputs of 3.3V and 5V and the adjustable
LT1304 can deliver output voltages up to 25V. Quiescent
current, 120µA in active mode, decreases to just 10µA in
shutdown with the low-battery detector still active. Peak
switch current, internally set at 1A, can be reduced by
adding a single resistor from the I
LIM
pin to ground. The
high speed operation of the LT1304 allows the use of
small, surface-mountable inductors and capacitors. The
LT1304 is available in an 8-lead SO package.
