DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
3528/LTC3528B are synchronous, fixed frequency
step-up DC/DC converters 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 1MHz minimizes solution foot-
print by allowing the use of tiny, low profile inductors and
ceramic capacitors. The current mode PWM is internally
compensated, simplifying the design process. The LTC3528
enters Burst Mode operation at light loads, while the
LTC3528B features continuous switching at light loads.
Anti-ringing circuitry reduces EMI by damping the inductor
in discontinuous mode. Additional features include a low
shutdown current, open-drain power good output, short-
circuit protection and thermal overload protection.
The LTC3528/LTC3528B are offered in an 8-lead 3mm ×
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 LTC3528E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over –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 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.
