The LT
®
1934 is a micropower step-down DC/DC con-
verter with internal 400mA power switch, packaged in a
low profile (1mm) ThinSOT. With its wide input range of
3.2V to 34V, the LT1934 can regulate a wide variety of
power sources, from 4-cell alkaline batteries and 5V logic
rails to unregulated wall transformers and lead-acid bat-
teries. Quiescent current is just 12µA and a zero current
shutdown mode disconnects the load from the input
source, simplifying power management in battery-pow-
ered systems. Burst Mode
®
operation and the low drop
internal power switch result in high efficiency over a broad
range of load current.
The LT1934 provides up to 300mA of output current. The
LT1934-1 has a lower current limit, allowing optimum
choice of external components when the required output
current is less than 60mA. Fast current limiting protects
the LT1934 and external components against shorted
outputs, even at 34V input.

BOOST (Pin 1):
The BOOST pin is used to provide a drive
voltage, higher than the input voltage, to the internal
bipolar NPN power switch.
GND (Pin 2):
Tie the GND pin to a local ground plane below
the LT1934 and the circuit components. Return the feed-
back divider to this pin.
FB (Pin 3):
The LT1934 regulates its feedback pin to 1.25V.
Connect the feedback resistor divider tap to this pin. Set
the output voltage according to V
OUT
= 1.25V (1 + R1/R2)
or R1 = R2 (V
OUT
/1.25 – 1).
SHDN (Pin 4):
The SHDN pin is used to put the LT1934 in
shutdown mode. Tie to ground to shut down the LT1934.
Apply 2.3V or more for normal operation. If the shutdown
feature is not used, tie this pin to the V
IN
pin.
V
IN
(Pin 5):
The V
IN
pin supplies current to the LT1934’s
internal regulator and to the internal power switch. This
pin must be locally bypassed.
SW (Pin 6):
The SW pin is the output of the internal power
switch. Connect this pin to the inductor, catch diode and
boost capacitor.
