LTC3535
Dual Channel 550mA 1MHz
Synchronous Step-Up
DC/DC Converter
DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
3535 is a dual channel, synchronous, fixed fre-
quency step-up DC/DC converter with output disconnect.
Extended battery life in single AA/AAA powered products
is realized with a 680mV start-up voltage and operation
down to 500mV once started.
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 design
is internally compensated, reducing external parts count.
The LTC3535 features Burst Mode operation at light load
conditions allowing it to maintain high efficiency over a
wide range of load. Anti-ring circuitry reduces EMI by
damping the inductor in discontinuous mode. Additional
features include a low shutdown current of under 1μA and
thermal shutdown.
The LTC3535 is housed in a 3mm

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 LTC3535 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 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
60°C/W.
