DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
3499/LTC3499B are synchronous, fixed frequency
step-up DC/DC power converters with integrated reverse
battery protection that protect and disconnect the devices
and load when the battery polarity is reversed while
delivering high efficiency in a small (3mm
×
3mm) DFN
package. True output disconnect eliminates inrush current
and allows zero load current in shutdown.
The devices feature an input voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V
enabling operation from two alkaline or NiMH batteries. The
switching frequency is internally set at 1.2MHz allowing
the use of tiny surface mount inductors and capacitors.
A minimal number of external components are required
to generate output voltages ranging from 2V to 6V. The
LTC3499 features automatic Burst Mode operation to
increase efficiency at light loads, while the LTC3499B
features continuous switching at light loads.
The soft-start time is externally programmable through a
small capacitor. Anti-ring circuitry reduces EMI emissions
by damping the inductor in discontinuous mode. The de-
vices feature <1µA shutdown supply current, integrated
overvoltage protection and are available in both 8-pin
(3mm
×
3mm) DFN and 8-pin MSOP packages.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
Specification is guaranteed by design and not 100% tested in
production.
Note 3:The
LTC3499E/LTC3499BE are guaranteed to meet device
specifications from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C
operating temperature are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls.
Note 4:
These ICs include overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the devices during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperatures will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is
active. Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating
temperature range may impair device reliability.
