The LTC
®
3422 is a high efficiency, current mode, fixed
frequency, step-up DC/DC converter with true output
disconnect and inrush current limiting. The part is guaran-
teed to start up from an input voltage of 1V. The device
includes a 0.20Ω N-channel MOSFET switch and a 0.24Ω
P-channel MOSFET synchronous rectifier. The output
voltage, switching frequency, soft-start time, Burst Mode
threshold and loop compensation are all simply pro-
grammed using tiny external passive components.
Quiescent current is only 25µA during Burst Mode opera-
tion, maximizing battery life in portable applications. The
oscillator frequency can be programmed up to 3MHz and
can be synchronized to an external clock applied to the
SYNC pin.
Other features include 1µA shutdown, short-circuit protec-
tion, anti-ringing control, thermal shutdown and current
limit. The LTC3422 is available 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
reliabilty and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LTC3422E 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:
Once V
OUT
is greater than 2.4V, the LTC3422 is not dependent on
the V
IN
supply.
Note 4:
Current is measured into the V
OUT
pin since the supply current is
bootstrapped to the output. The current will reflect to the input supply by
(V
OUT
/V
IN
) • Efficiency. The outputs are 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.
