DESCRIPTION
The LT1301 is a micropower step-up DC/DC converter that
utilizes Burst Mode™ operation. The device can deliver 5V
or 12V from a two-cell battery input. It features program-
mable 5V or 12V output via a logic-controlled input, no-
load quiescent current of 120µA and a shutdown pin which
reduces supply current to 10µA. The on-chip power switch
has a low 170mV saturation voltage at a switch current of
1A, a four-fold reduction over prior designs. A 155kHz
internal oscillator allows the use of extremely small sur-
face mount inductors and capacitors. Operation is guaran-
teed at 1.8V input. This allows more energy to be extracted
from the battery, increasing operating life. The I
LIM
pin can
be used for soft start or to program peak switch current
with a single resistor allowing the use of even smaller
inductors in lighter load applications. The LT1301 is
available in an 8-lead SOIC package, minimizing board
space requirements. For a selectable 3.3V/5V step-up
converter, please see the LT1300. For higher output
power, see the LT1302.

PIN FUNCTIONS
GND (Pin 1):
Signal Ground. Tie to PGND under the
package.
Sel (Pin 2):
Output Select. When tied to V
IN
converter
regulates at 12V. When grounded or floating converter
regulates at 5V. May be driven under logic control.
SHDN (Pin 3):
Shutdown. Pull high to shut down the
LT1301. Ground for normal operation.
Sense (Pin 4):
“Output” Pin. Goes to internal resistive
divider. If operating at 5V output, a 0.1µF ceramic capaci-
tor is required from Sense to Ground.
I
LIM
(Pin 5):
Float for 1A switch current limit. Tie to ground
for approximately 400mA. A resistor between I
LIM
and
ground sets peak current to some intermediate value .
V
IN
(Pin 6):
Supply Pin. Must be bypassed with a large
value electrolytic to ground. Keep bypass within 0.2" of the
device.
SW (Pin 7):
Switch Pin. Connect inductor and diode here.
Keep layout short and direct to minimize radio frequency
interference.
PGND (Pin 8):
Power Ground. Tie to signal ground (pin 1)
under the package. Bypass capacitor from V
IN
should be
tied directly to PGND within 0.2" of the device.

OPERATION
Operation of the LT1301 is best understood by referring to
the Block Diagram in Figure 2. When A1’s negative input,
related to the Sense pin voltage by the appropriate resis-
tor-divider ratio is higher that the 1.25V reference voltage,
A1’s output is low. A2, A3 and the oscillator are turned off,
drawing no current. Only the reference and A1 consume
current, typically 120µA. When A1’s negative input drops
below 1.25V, overcoming A1’s 6mV hysteresis, A1’s out-
put goes high enabling the oscillator, current comparator
A2, and driver A3. Quiescent current increases to 2mA as
the device prepares for high current switching. Q1 then
turns on in controlled saturation for (nominally) 5.3µs or
until comparator A2 trips, whichever comes first. After a
fixed off-time of (nominally) 1.2µs, Q1 turns on again. The
LT1301’s switching causes current to alternately build up
in L1 and dump into output capacitor C2 via D1, increasing
the output voltage. When the output is high enough to
cause A1’s output to go to low, switching action ceases.
C2 is left to supply current to the load until V
OUT
decreases
enough to force A1’s output high, and the entire cycle
repeats. Figure 4 details relevant waveforms. A1’s cycling
causes low-to-mid-frequency ripple voltage on the output.
Ripple can be reduced by making the output capacitor
large. The 33µF unit specified results in ripple of 100mV to
200mV on the 12V output. A 100µF capacitor will decrease
ripple to 50mV. If operating at 5V ouput a 0.1µF ceramic
capacitor is required at the Sense pin in addition to the
electrolytic.
If switch current reaches 1A, causing A2 to trip, switch on-
time is reduced and off-time increases slightly. This allows
continuous mode operation during bursts. A2 monitors
the voltage across 3Ω resistor R1 which is directly related
to the switch current. Q2’s collector current is set by the
emitter-area ratio to 0.6% of Q1’s collector current. When
R1’s voltage drop exceeds 18mV, corresponding to 1A
switch current, A2’s output goes high, truncating the on-
time portion of the oscillator cycle and increasing off-time
to about 2µs as shown in Figure 3, trace A. This pro-
grammed peak current can be reduced by tying the I
LIM
pin
to ground, causing 15µA to flow through R2 into Q3’s
collector. Q3’s current causes a 10.4mV drop in R2 so that
only an additional 7.6mV is required across R1 to turn off
the switch. This corresponds to a 400mA switch current
as shown in Figure 3, trace B. The reduced peak switch
current reduces I
2
R loses in Q1, L1, C1 and D1. Efficiency
can be increased by doing this provided that the accom-
panying reduction in full load current is acceptable. Lower
peak currents also extend alkaline battery life due to the
alkaline cell’s high internal impedance.
