LT1308A/LT1308B
High Current, Micropower
Single Cell, 600kHz
DC/DC Converters
DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
1308A/LT1308B are micropower, fixed frequency
step-up DC/DC converters that operate over a 1V to 10V
input voltage range. They are improved versions of the
LT1308 and are recommended for use in new designs.
The LT1308A features automatic shifting to power sav-
ing Burst Mode operation at light loads and consumes
just 140μA at no load. The LT1308B features continuous
switching at light loads and operates at a quiescent cur-
rent of 2.5mA. Both devices consume less than 1μA in
shutdown.
Low-battery detector accuracy is significantly tighter than
the LT1308. The 200mV reference is specified at ± 2%
at room and ±3% over temperature. The shutdown pin
enables the device when it is tied to a 1V or higher source
and does not need to be tied to V
IN
as on the LT1308. An
internal V
C
clamp results in improved transient response
and the switch voltage rating has been increased to 36V,
enabling higher output voltage applications.
The LT1308A/LT1308B are available in the 8-lead SO and
the 14-lead TSSOP 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:
The LT1308ACS8, LT1308ACF LT1308BCS8 and LT1308BCF are
,
designed, characterized and expected to meet the industrial temperature
limits, but are not tested at –40°C and 85°C. I grade devices are
guaranteed over the –40°C to 85°C operating temperature range.
Note 3:
Bias current flows into FB pin.
Note 4:
Switch current limit guaranteed by design and/or correlation to
static tests. Duty cycle affects current limit due to ramp generator (see
Block Diagram).
Note 5:
Bias current flows out of LBI pin.
Note 6:
Connect the four GND pins (Pins 4–7) together at the device.
Similarly, connect the three SW pins (Pins 8–10) together and the two V
IN
pins (Pins 11, 12) together at the device.
