DESCRIPTION
The
LTC
®
3124
is a dual-phase, synchronous step-up DC/
DC converter with true output disconnect and inrush
current limiting capable of providing output voltages up
to 15V. Dual-phase operation significantly reduces peak
inductor and capacitor ripple currents, minimizing induc-
tor and capacitor size. The 2.5A per phase current limit,
along with the ability to program output voltages up to 15V
make the LTC3124 well suited for a variety of demanding
applications. Once started, operation will continue with
inputs down to 500mV.
The LTC3124 switching frequency can be programmed
from 100kHz to 3MHz to optimize applications for highest
efficiency or smallest solution footprint. The oscillator can
be synchronized to an external clock for noise sensitive
applications. Selectable Burst Mode operation reduces
quiescent current to 25µA, ensuring high efficiency across
the entire load range. An internal soft-start limits inrush
current during start-up.
Other features include a <1µA shutdown current and robust
protection under short-circuit, thermal overload, and output
overvoltage conditions. The LTC3124 is offered in both
16-lead DFN and thermally-enhanced TSSOP packages.

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:
Voltage transients on the SW pin beyond the DC limit specified in
the Absolute Maximum Ratings are non-disruptive to normal operations
when using good layout practices, as shown on the demo board or
described in the data sheet or application notes.
Note 3:
The LTC3124 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
A
≈ T
J
. The LTC3124E is guaranteed to meet performance 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
LTC3124I is guaranteed to meet specifications over the –40°C to 125°C
operating junction temperature range. The LTC3124H is guaranteed to
meet specifications over the full –40°C to 150°C operating junction range.
High junction temperatures degrade operating lifetimes; operating lifetime
is derated for junction temperatures greater than 125°C.
Note that the maximum ambient temperature consistent with these
specifications is determined by specific operating conditions in
conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal impedance
and other environmental factors. The junction temperature (T
J
in °C) is
calculated from the ambient temperature (T
A
in °C) and power dissipation
(P
D
in Watts) according to the formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
•
θ
JA
)
where
θ
JA
is the thermal impedance of the package.
Note 4:
The LTC3124 includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 150°C when overtemperature shutdown is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may result in device degradation or failure.
Note 5:
Failure to solder the exposed backside of the package to the PC
board ground plane will result in a thermal impedance much higher than
the rated package specifications.
