UTC LT1304/LT1304-3.3V/LT1304-5.0V
LINEAR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
MICROPOWER DC/DC
CONVERTERS WITH
LOW-BATTERY DETECTOR
ACTIVE IN SHUTDOWN
DESCRIPTION
The UTC LT1304 is a micropower step-up DC/DC
converter ideal for use in small, low voltage,
battery-operated systems. The devices operate from a
wide input supply range of 1.5V to 8V.
The UTC LT1304-3.3 and LT1304-5.0 generate
regulated outputs of 3.3V and 5V and the adjustable
LT1304 can deliver output voltages up to
25V.Quiescent current,120
μ
A
in active mode,
decreases to just 10
μ
A 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 UTC LT1304 allows the use of small,
surface-mountable inductors and capacitors.

DESCRIPTION
Low Battery Detector Input. When voltage on this pin is less than
1.17V,detector output is low
Low Battery Detector Output. Open collector can sink up to 500µA.Low
battery detector remains active when device is shut down.
Input Supply. Must be bypassed close (<0.2”) to the pin. See required layout
in the Typical Applications
Collector of Power NPN. Keep copper traces on this pin short and direct to
minimize RFI
Device Ground. Must be low impedance; solder directly to ground plane
Current Limit Set Pin. Float for 1A peak switch current; a resistor to ground
will lower peak current
SHDN
Shutdown Input. When low, switching regulator is turned off. The
low-battery detector remains active. The SHDN input should not be left
floating. If SHDN is not used, tie the pin to V
IN
On the LT1304 (adjustable) this pin goes to the comparator input. On the
fixed-output versions, the pin connects to the resistor divider which sets output
voltage. The divider is disconnected from the pin during shutdown.
