DESCRIPTION
Micropower Low Noise
Boost Converters with
Output Disconnect
The LT
®
3494/LT3494A are low noise boost converters
with integrated power switch, Schottky diode and output
disconnect circuitry. The parts use a novel* control tech-
nique resulting in low output voltage ripple as well as high
effi ciency over a wide load current range. This technique
guarantees that the switching frequency stays above the
audio band for the entire load range. The parts feature a high
performance NPN power switch with a 350mA and 180mA
current limit for the LT3494A and LT3494 respectively. The
quiescent current is a low 65μA, which is further reduced
to less than 1μA in shutdown. The internal disconnect
circuitry allows the output voltage to be isolated from the
input during shutdown. An auxiliary reference input (CTRL
pin) overrides the internal 1.225V feedback reference with
any lower value allowing full control of the output voltage
during operation. The LT3494/LT3494A are available in a
tiny 8-lead 3mm × 2mm DFN package.
