Boost/SEPIC/
Flyback/Inverting Converter
with 0.5A, 140V Switch
DESCRIPTION
The
LT
®
8331
is a current mode DC/DC converter with a
140V, 0.5A switch operating from a 4.5V to 100V input.
With a unique single feedback pin architecture, it is ca-
pable of boost, SEPIC, flyback or inverting configurations.
Burst Mode operation consumes as low as 6μA quiescent
current to maintain high efficiency at very low output cur-
rents, while keeping typical output ripple below 20mV.
The internally-compensated current mode architecture
results in stable operation over a wide range of input and
output voltages and programmable switching frequencies
between 100kHz to 500kHz. A SYNC/MODE pin allows
synchronization to an external clock. It can also be used to
select between burst or pulse-skipping modes of operation.
For increased efficiency, a BIAS pin can accept a second
input to supply the INTV
CC
regulator. Additional features
include frequency foldback and programmable soft-start
for controlling inductor current during start-up.
The LT8331 is available in a thermally-enhanced MSOP
package with four pins removed for high voltage spacings.

characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The
LT8331I is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range. High junction temperatures degrade operating
lifetimes. Operating lifetime is derated at junction temperatures greater
than 125°C.
Note 4:
The IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during overload conditions. Junction temperature will
exceed 150°C when overtemperature protection is active. Continuous
operation above the specified maximum operating junction temperature
will reduce lifetime.
