The LT

3436 is an 800kHz monolithic boost switching
regulator. A high efficiency 3A, 0.1 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 range. A low
dropout internal regulator maintains consistent perfor-
mance over a wide range of inputs from 24V systems to Li-
Ion batteries. An operating supply current of 1mA main-
tains high efficiency, especially at lower output currents.
Shutdown reduces quiescent current to 11µA. Maximum
switch current remains constant at all duty cycles. Syn-
chronization capability allows an external logic level signal
to increase the internal oscillator from 1MHz to 1.4MHz.
Full cycle-by-cycle switch current limit protection and ther-
mal shutdown are provided. High frequency operation al-
lows the reduction of input and output filtering components
and permits the use of tiny chip inductors. The LT3436 is
available in an exposed pad, 16-pin TSSOP package.
