DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
1304 is a micropower step-up DC/DC converter
ideal for use in small, low voltage, battery-operated sys-
tems. The devices operate from a wide input supply range
of 1.5V to 8V. The LT1304-3.3 and LT1304-5 generate
regulated outputs of 3.3V and 5V and the adjustable
LT1304 can deliver output voltages up to 25V. Quiescent
current, 120µA in active mode, decreases to just 10µA in
shutdown with the low-battery detector still active. Peak
switch current, internally set at 1A, can be reduced by
adding a single resistor from the I
LIM
pin to ground. The
high speed operation of the LT1304 allows the use of
small, surface-mountable inductors and capacitors. The
LT1304 is available in an 8-lead SO package.

PIN FUNCTIONS
LBI (Pin 1):
Low-Battery Detector Input. When voltage on
this pin is less than 1.17V, detector output is low.
LBO (Pin 2):
Low-Battery Detector Output. Open collector
can sink up to 500µA. Low-battery detector remains active
when device is shut down.
V
IN
(Pin 3):
Input Supply. Must be bypassed close (< 0.2")
to the pin. See required layout in the Typical Applications.
SW (Pin 4):
Collector of Power NPN. Keep copper traces on
this pin short and direct to minimize RFI.
GND (Pin 5):
Device Ground. Must be low impedance;
solder directly to ground plane.
I
LIM
(Pin 6):
Current Limit Set Pin. Float for 1A peak switch
current; a resistor to ground will lower peak current.
SHDN (Pin 7):
Shutdown Input. When low, switching
regulator is turned off. The low-battery detector remains
active. The SHDN input should not be left floating. If SHDN
is not used, tie the pin to V
IN
.
FB/SENSE (Pin 8):
On the LT1304 (adjustable) this pin
goes to the comparator input. On the fixed-output ver-
sions, the pin connects to the resistor divider which sets
output voltage. The divider is disconnected from the pin
during shutdown.
