DescripTion
The
LTC
®
3108-1
is a highly integrated DC/DC converter ideal
for harvesting and managing surplus energy from extremely
low input voltage sources such as TEGs (thermoelectric
generators), thermopiles and small solar cells. The step-up
topology operates from input voltages as low as 20mV.
Using a small step-up transformer, the LTC3108-1 provides
a complete power management solution for wireless sens-
ing and data acquisition. The 2.2V LDO powers an external
microprocessor, while the main output is programmed to
one of four fixed voltages to power a wireless transmitter
or sensors. The power good indicator signals that the main
output voltage is within regulation. A second output can be
enabled by the host. A storage capacitor provides power
when the input voltage source is unavailable. Extremely
low quiescent current and high efficiency design ensure
the fastest possible charge times of the output reservoir
capacitor. The LTC3108-1 is functionally equivalent to the
LTC3108 except for its unique fixed V
OUT
options.
The LTC3108-1 is available in a small, thermally enhanced
12-lead (3mm
×
4mm) DFN package and a 16-lead SSOP
package.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LTC3108-1 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTC3108-1E is guaranteed to meet specifications from
0°C to 85°C junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C to
125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The
LTC3108-1I is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range. Note that the maximum ambient temperature
is determined by specific operating conditions in conjunction with
board layout, the rated thermal package thermal resistance and other
environmental factors. The junction temperature (T
J
) is calculated from
the ambient temperature (T
A
) and power dissipation (P
D
) according to
the formula: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
•
θ
JA
°C/W), where
θ
JA
is the package thermal
impedance.
Note 3:
Specification is guaranteed by design and not 100% tested in
production.
Note 4:
Failure to solder the exposed backside of the package to the PC
board ground plane will result in a thermal resistance much higher than
43°C/W.
Note 5:
The absolute maximum rating is a DC rating. Under certain
conditions in the applications shown, the peak AC voltage on the C2 pin
may exceed ±8V. This behavior is normal and acceptable because the
current into the pin is limited by the impedance of the coupling capacitor.
