The LT
®
1946A is a fixed frequency step-up DC/DC con-
verter containing an internal 1.5A, 36V switch. Capable of
generating 12V at 430mA from a 5V input, the LT1946A is
ideal for powering large TFT-LCD panels. The LT1946A
switches at 2.7MHz, allowing the use of tiny, low profile
inductors and low value ceramic capacitors. Loop com-
pensation can be either internal or external, giving the user
flexibility in setting loop compensation and allowing opti-
mized transient response with low ESR ceramic output
capacitors. Soft-start is controlled with an external capaci-
tor which determines the input current ramp rate during
start up. The 8-lead MSOP package and high switching
frequency ensure a low profile overall solution less than
1.1mm high.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LT1946AE is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 70°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:
Current flows out of the FB pin.
Note 4:
Current limit guaranteed by design and/or correlation to static test.
Current limit is independent of duty cycle and is guaranteed by design.

C
(Pin 1):
Error Amplifier Output Pin. Tie external com-
pensation network to this pin or use the internal compen-
sation network by shorting the V
C
pin to the COMP pin.
External compensation consists of placing a resistor and
capacitor in series from V
C
to GND. Typical capacitor
range is from 90pF to 270pF. Typical resistor range is from
25k to 120k.
FB (Pin 2):
Feedback Pin. Reference voltage is 1.25V.
Connect resistive divider tap here. Minimize trace area at
FB. Set V
OUT
according to V
OUT
= 1.25 • (1+R1/R2).
SHDN (Pin 3):
Shutdown Pin. Tie to 2.4V or more to enable
device. Ground to shut down. Do not float this pin.
GND (Pin 4, Exposed Pad):
Ground.
Tie both Pin 4 and
the exposed pad directly to local ground plane.
The
ground metal to the exposed pad should be wide for better
heat dissipation. Multiple vias (local ground plane
↔
ground backplane) placed close to the exposed pad can
further aid in reducing thermal resistance.
SW (Pin 5):
Switch Pin. This is the collector of the internal
NPN power switch. Minimize the metal trace area con-
nected to this pin to minimize EMI.
V
IN
(Pin 6):
Input Supply Pin. Must be locally bypassed.
COMP (Pin 7):
Internal Compensation Pin. Provides an
internal compensation network. Tie directly to the V
C
pin
for internal compensation. Tie to GND if not used.
SS (Pin 8):
Soft-Start Pin. Place a soft-start capacitor
here. Upon start-up, 4µA of current charges the capacitor
to 1.5V. Use a larger capacitor for slower start-up. Leave
floating if not in use.
