The LT
®
1309 is a 500kHz micropower DC/DC converter
for Flash Memory. The regulator features Burst Mode
TM
operation with a 0.5A, 300mV switch, enabling 85%
efficiency at the fixed 12V output. High frequency opera-
tion permits the use of small value, and therefore small
size, surface mount inductors and capacitors. The LT1309
comes in an 8-lead SO package allowing extremely
compact PC board layouts. These features make the
device attractive for PCMCIA cards, cellular phones and
other applications where PC board space is limited.
Quiescent current is 650µA decreasing to 9µA when the
part shuts down. The device includes a soft start feature
which limits supply current transients during turn-on.
The LT1309 contains a VPP VALID comparator with a
logic output that goes low when the output voltage is
ready to program 12V Flash Memory. This comparator
simplifies the interface to external control logic.

SOFT START (Pin 1):
A 0.1µF/1MΩ parallel RC from this
pin to GND provides a Soft Start function upon device
turn-on. Initially about 80µA will flow from the pin into the
capacitor. When the voltage at the pin reaches approxi-
mately 0.4V, current ceases flowing out of the pin.
V
CC

Input Supply. At least 1µF input bypass
capacitance is required. More capacitance reduces ring-
ing on the supply line.
PGND (Pin 3):
Power Ground. Connect to ground plane.
V
SW
(Pin 4):
Collector of Power Switch. High dV/dt
present on this pin. To minimize radiated noise keep
layout short and direct.
GND (Pin 5):
Signal Ground. Connect to ground plane.
VPP VALID (Pin 6):
This pin provides a logic signal
indicating that output voltage has reached 12V. Active low
with internal 200k pull-up resistor.
SENSE (Pin 7):
Output Sense Pin. This pin connects to a
resistive divider that sets the output voltage. In shutdown,
the resistor string is disconnected and current into this pin
reduces to < 1µA.
ON/OFF (Pin 8):
Shutdown Control. When pulled below
1.5V, this pin disables the LT1309 and reduces supply
current to 9µA. All circuitry is disabled in shutdown. The
part is enabled when ON/OFF is greater than 1.5V.

OPERATIO
The LT1309 is a current limited, Burst Mode (gated
oscillator) type switching regulator that produces a 12V
output from a 3.3V or 5V input. Operation can best be
understood by referring to the Block Diagram. When the
voltage at the Sense pin (Pin 7) is less than 12V, compara-
tor C1 enables the oscillator, turning switches Q1 and Q2
on. The switch turns off when current limit is reached or
when the oscillator maximum on-time is reached. When

Q2 turns off, current built up in the inductor flows into the
output capacitor and load. This action occurs until the
output voltage reaches 12V. During start-up, the Sense pin
voltage is either 3.3V or 5V, depending on the input. The
VPP VALID signal remains high until the output voltage
reaches 12V, signaling correct voltage level to program
flash memory. Connecting a 1µF/0.1µF parallel RC to the
Soft Start pin limits inrush current during start-up.
