LT3494/LT3494A Micropower Low Noise Boost Converters with Output Disconnect FEATURESDESCRIPTION ■ Low Quiescent Current The LT®3494/LT3494A are low noise boost converters 65μA in Active Mode with integrated power switch, Schottky diode and output 1μA in Shutdown Mode disconnect circuitry. The parts use a novel* control tech- ■ Switching Frequency is Non-Audible Over Entire nique resulting in low output voltage ripple as well as high Load Range effi ciency over a wide load current range. This technique ■ Integrated Power NPN: guarantees that the switching frequency stays above the 350mA Current Limit (LT3494A) audio band for the entire load range. The parts feature a high 180mA Current Limit (LT3494) performance NPN power switch with a 350mA and 180mA ■ Integrated Schottky Diode current limit for the LT3494A and LT3494 respectively. The ■ Integrated Output Disconnect quiescent current is a low 65μA, which is further reduced ■ Integrated Output Dimming to less than 1μA in shutdown. The internal disconnect ■ Wide Input Range: 2.3V to 16V circuitry allows the output voltage to be isolated from the ■ Wide Output Range: Up to 40V input during shutdown. An auxiliary reference input (CTRL ■ Tiny 8-Lead 3mm × 2mm DFN Package pin) overrides the internal 1.225V feedback reference with any lower value allowing full control of the output voltage APPLICATIONS during operation. The LT3494/LT3494A are available in a tiny 8-lead 3mm × 2mm DFN package. ■ OLED Power ■ Low Noise Power , LT, LTC and LTM are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
