The LTC®3400/LTC3400B are synchronous, fixed frequency,
step-up DC/DC converters delivering high efficiency
in a 6-lead ThinSOT™ package. Capable of supplying
3.3V at 100mA from a single AA cell input, the devices
contain an internal NMOS switch and PMOS synchronous
rectifier.
A switching frequency of 1.2MHz minimizes solution
footprint 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 LTC3400 features automatic shifting to power saving
Burst Mode operation at light loads, while the LTC3400B
features continuous switching at light loads. Antiringing
control circuitry reduces EMI concerns by damping the
inductor in discontinuous mode, and the devices feature
low shutdown current of under 1mA.
Both devices are available in the low profile (1mm)
