The LTC
®
3426 step-up switching regulator generates an
output voltage of up to 5.5V from an input voltage as low
as 1.6V. Ideal for applications where space is limited, it
switches at 1.2MHz, allowing the use of tiny, low cost and
low profile external components. Its internal 2A, 100m
NMOS switch provides high efficiency even at heavy load,
while the constant frequency, current mode architecture
results in low, predictable output noise that is easy to filter.
Antiringing circuitry reduces EMI concerns by damping
the inductor while in discontinuous mode, and internal
soft-start eases inrush current worries. Internal frequency
compensation is designed to accommodate ceramic out-
put capacitors, further reducing noise. The device features
very low shutdown current of 0.5µA.
The LTC3426 is available in the 6-lead SOT-23 package.
