The LT
®
3463/LT3463A are dual micropower DC/DC con-
verters with internal Schottky diodes in a 10-lead 3mm
×
3mm DFN package. Negative and positive LT3463 con-
verters have a 250mA current limit. The LT3463A positive
converter also has a 250mA limit, while the negative
converter has a 400mA limit. Both devices have an input
voltage range of 2.4V to 15V, making them ideal for a wide
variety of applications. Each converter features a quies-
cent current of only 20µA, which drops to under 1µA in
shutdown. A current limited, fixed off-time control scheme
conserves operating current, resulting in high efficiency
over a broad range of load current. The 42V switch enables
high voltage outputs up to
±40V
to be easily generated
without the use of costly transformers. The low 300ns off-
time permits the use of tiny, low profile inductors and
capacitors to minimize footprint and cost in space-con-
scious portable applications.

OPERATIO
The LT3463 uses a constant off-time control scheme to
provide high efficiency over a wide range of output cur-
rent. Operation can be best understood by referring to the
block diagram in Figure 1. When the voltage at the FB1 pin
is slightly above 1.25V, comparator A1 disables most of
the internal circuitry. Output current is then provided by
capacitor C2, which slowly discharges until the voltage at
the FB1 pin goes below the hysteresis point of A1 (typical
hysteresis at the FB1 pin is 8mV). A1 then enables the
internal circuitry, turns on power switch Q1, and the

current in inductor L1 begins ramping up. Once the switch
current reaches 250mA, comparator A2 resets the one-
shot, which turns off Q1 for 300ns. Q1 turns on again and
the inductor currents ramp back up to 250mA, then A2
again resets the one-shot. This switching action continues
until the output voltage is charged up (until the FB1 pin
reaches 1.25V), then A1 turns off the internal circuitry and
the cycle repeats. The second switching regulator is an
inverting converter (which generates a negative output)
but the basic operation is the same.

Choosing an Inductor
Several recommended inductors that work well with the
LT3463 are listed in Table 1, although there are many other
manufacturers and devices that can be used. Consult each
manufacturer for more detailed information and for their
entire selection of related parts. Many different sizes and
shapes are available. Use the equations and recommenda-
tions in the next few sections to find the correct inductance
value for your design.

Inductor Selection—Boost Regulator
The formula below calculates the appropriate inductor
value to be used for a boost regulator using the LT3463 (or
at least provides a good starting point). This value pro-
vides a good tradeoff in inductor size and system perfor-
mance. Pick a standard inductor close to this value. A
larger value can be used to slightly increase the available
output current, but limit it to around twice the value
calculated below, as too large of an inductance will in-
crease the output voltage ripple without providing much
additional output current. A smaller value can be used
(especially for systems with output voltages greater than
12V) to give a smaller physical size. Inductance can be
calculated as:

value in the above equation. For most regulators with
output voltages below 7V, a 4.7µH inductor is the best
choice, even though the equation above might specify a
smaller value.
For higher output voltages, the formula above will give
large inductance values. For a 3V to 20V converter (typical
LCD Bias application), a 21µH inductor is called for with
the above equation, but a 10µH inductor could be used
without much reduction in the maximum output current.
Inductor Selection—Inverting Regulator
The formula below calculates the appropriate inductor
value to be used for an inverting regulator using the
LT3463 (or at least provides a good starting point). This
value provides a good tradeoff in inductor size and system
performance. Pick a standard inductor close to this value
(both inductors should be the same value). A larger value
can be used to slightly increase the available output
current, but limit it to around twice the value calculated
below, as too large of an inductance will increase the
output voltage ripple without providing much additional
output current. A smaller value can be used (especially for
systems with output voltages greater than 12V) to give a
smaller physical size. Inductance can be calculated as:

For higher output voltages, the formula above will give
large inductance values. For a 3V to 20V converter (typical
LCD bias application), a 49µH inductor is called for with
the above equation, but a 10µH or 22µH inductor could be
used without much reduction in the maximum output
current.
Inductor Selection—Inverting Charge Pump Regulator
For the inverting regulator, the voltage seen by the internal
power switch is equal to the sum of the absolute value of
the input and output voltages, so that generating high
