DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
3528-2 is a synchronous, fixed frequency step-up
DC/DC converter with output disconnect. High efficiency
synchronous rectification, in addition to a 700mV start-
up voltage and operation down to 500mV once started,
provides longer run-time for single or multiple cell battery-
powered products.
A switching frequency of 2MHz minimizes solution foot-
print by allowing the use of tiny, low profile inductors
and ceramic capacitors. The current mode PWM is inter-
nally compensated, simplifying the design process. The
LTC3528-2 enters Burst Mode operation at light loads.
Anti-ringing circuitry reduces EMI by damping the induc-
tor in discontinuous mode. Additional features include a
low shutdown current, open-drain power good output,
short-circuit protection and thermal overload protection.
The LTC3528-2 is offered in an 8-lead 2mm

0.75mm DFN package.

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 LTC3528-2 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTC3528E-2 is guaranteed to meet specifications from 0°C to
85°C junction temperature. Specifications over –40°C to 125°C operating
junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls. Note that the maximum
ambient temperature consistent with these specifications is determined by
specific operating conditions in conjunction with board layout, the rated
package thermal impedance and other environmental factors. The junction
temperature (T
J
, in °C) is calculated from the ambient temperature (T
A
, in
°C) and power dissipation (P
D
, in Watts) according to the formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
•
θ
JA
)
where
θ
JA
= 76°C/W is the package thermal impedance.
Note 3:
Specification is guaranteed by design and not 100% tested in
production.
Note 4:
Current measurements are made when the output is not switching.
Note 5:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may result in device degradation or failure.
Note 6:
Failure to solder the exposed backside of the package to the PC
board ground plane will result in a thermal resistance much higher than
76°C/W.
Note 7:
The IC is tested in a feedback loop to make the measurement.
