LT3471
Dual 1.3A, 1.2MHz
Boost/Inverter in
3mm × 3mm DFN
DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
3471 dual switching regulator combines two 42V,
1.3A switches with error amplifiers that can sense to
ground providing boost and inverting capability. The low
V
CESAT
bipolar switches enable the device to deliver high
current outputs in a small footprint. The LT3471 switches
at 1.2MHz, allowing the use of tiny, low cost and low profile
inductors and capacitors. High inrush current at start-up
is eliminated using the programmable soft-start function,
where an external RC sets the current ramp rate. A constant
frequency current mode PWM architecture results in low,
predictable output noise that is easy to filter.
The LT3471 switches are rated at 42V, making the device
ideal for boost converters up to ±40V as well as SEPIC
and flyback designs. Each channel can generate 5V at
up to 630mA from a 3.3V supply, or 5V at 510mA from
four alkaline cells in a SEPIC design. The device can be
configured as two boosts, a boost and inverter or two
inverters.
The LT3471 is available in a low profile (0.75mm) 10-lead

ternal NPN power switch). Connect inductor/diode here
and minimize the metal trace area connected to this pin
to minimize EMI.
SHDN/SS2
(Pin 7):
Shutdown and Soft-Start Pin. Tie to
1.8V or more to enable device. Ground to shut down. Soft-
start function is provided when the voltage at this pin is
ramped slowly to 1.8V with an external RC circuit.

Input Supply. Must be locally bypassed.
SHDN/SS1
(Pin 9):
Same as
SHDN/SS2

OPERATION
The LT3471 uses a constant frequency, current mode
control scheme to provide excellent line and load regu-
lation. Refer to the Block Diagram. At the start of each
oscillator cycle, the SR latch is set, which turns on the
power switch, Q1 (Q2). A voltage proportional to the switch
current is added to a stabilizing ramp and the resulting
sum is fed into the positive terminal of the PWM compara-
tor A2 (A4). When this voltage exceeds the level at the
negative input of A2 (A4), the SR latch is reset, turning
off the power switch Q1 (Q2). The level at the negative
input of A2 (A4) is set by the error amplifier A1 (A3) and
is simply an amplified version of the difference between
the negative feedback voltage and the positive feedback
voltage, usually tied to the reference voltage V
REG
. In
this manner, the error amplifier sets the correct peak
current level to keep the output in regulation. If the error
amplifier’s output increases, more current is delivered to
the output. Similarly, if the error decreases, less current
is delivered. Each switcher functions independently but
they share the same oscillator and thus the switchers are
always in phase. Enabling the part is done by taking either
SHDN/SS
pin above 1.8V. Disabling the part is done by
grounding both
SHDN/SS
pins. The soft-start feature of
the LT3471 allows for clean start-up conditions by limiting
the amount of voltage rise at the output of comparator A1
and A2, which in turn limits the peak switching current.
The soft-start feature for each switcher is enabled by
slowly ramping that switcher’s
SHDN/SS
pin, using an
RC network, for example. Typical resistor and capacitor
values are 0.33μF and 4.7k, allowing for a start-up time
on the order of milliseconds. The LT3471 has a current
limit circuit not shown in the Block Diagram. The switch
current is constantly monitored and not allowed to exceed
the maximum switch current (typically 1.6A). If the switch
