The LTC
®
3525D-3.3 is a high efficiency synchronous step-
up DC/DC converter that can start up with an input as low
as 0.85V. It offers a compact, high efficiency alternative to
charge pumps in single cell or dual cell alkaline or Li-ion
applications. Only three small external components are
required. The LTC3525D features a fixed output voltage
of 3.3V. In shutdown, V
OUT
is connected to V
IN
through
the inductor.
The device includes a 0.5Ω N-channel MOSFET switch
and a 0.8Ω P-channel synchronous rectifier. Peak switch
current ranges from 150mA to 400mA, depending on
load, providing enhanced efficiency. Quiescent current
is an ultralow 7µA, maximizing battery life in portable
applications.
Other features include anti-ringing control and thermal
shutdown. The LTC3525D is available in a tiny 6-pin SC70
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 LTC3525DE is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
Note 3:
Specification is guaranteed by design and not 100% tested in
production.
Note 4:
Current Measurements are performed when the LTC3525D 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 impair device reliability.
Note 6:
Consult LTC Marketing for other output voltage options.

N (Pin 1):
Logic Controlled Shutdown Input. Connect
to a voltage >1V to enable the LTC3525D. Connect to a
voltage <0.4V to disable the LTC3525D and connect V
IN
to V
OUT
through the inductor.
GND (Pins 2, 5):
Ground.
V
IN
(Pin 3):
Input Voltage. The LTC3525D is powered from
V
IN
until V
OUT
exceeds V
IN
. Once V
OUT
is greater than (V
IN
+ 0.2V typical), it is powered from V
OUT
. Place a ceramic
bypass capacitor from V
IN
to GND. A minimum value of
1µF is recommended.
V
OUT
(Pin 4):
Output Voltage Sense and the Output of the
Synchronous Rectifier. Connect the output filter capacitor
from V
OUT
to GND, close to the IC. A minimum value of
10µF ceramic is recommended. Use 22µF for reduced
output ripple. The pass-through mode feature connects
V
OUT
to V
IN
through the inductor when

N is <0.4V.
SW (Pin 6):
Switch Pin. Connect an inductor from this
pin to V
IN
. An internal antiringing resistor is connected
across SW and V
IN
after the inductor current has dropped
to zero to minimize EMI.
