LTC3423/LTC3424
Low Output Voltage,
3MHz Micropower Synchronous
Boost Converters
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC
®
3423 and LTC3424 are high efficiency, fixed
frequency, step-up DC/DC converters that can regulate
output voltages as low as 1.5V from a single cell. An
applied voltage of at least 2.7V to the V
DD
pin is required
to power the internal control circuitry.
The devices include a 0.16Ω N-channel MOSFET switch
and a 0.21Ω P-channel synchronous rectifier. The LTC3423
is intended for applications requiring less than 0.75W of
output power and the LTC3424 for 1.5W or less. Switching
frequencies up to 3MHz are programmed with an external
timing resistor and the oscillator can be synchronized to
an external clock.
Quiescent current is only 38µA in Burst Mode operation,
maximizing battery life in portable applications. Burst
Mode operation is user controlled and can be enabled by
driving the MODE/SYNC pin high. If the MODE/SYNC pin
has either a clock or is driven low then the operation is at
constant fixed frequency.
Other features include a 1µA shutdown, thermal shutdown
and current limit. The LTC3423 and LTC3424 are available
in the 10-lead MSOP package. For applications requiring
an output voltage greater than 2.6V, the LTC3401 and
LTC3402 are recommended without the need of a separate
voltage for the V
DD
pin.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LTC3423/LTC3424 are guaranteed to meet performance
specifications from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C
operating temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls.
Note 3:
Current is measured into V
DD
since the supply current is
bootstrapped to the V
DD
pin. The outputs are not switching.
Note 4:
Once the output is started, the IC is not dependant upon the V
IN
supply.

MODE/SYNC (Pin 2):

Synchronization.
MODE/SYNC = High. Enable Burst Mode operation. The
inductor peak inductor current will be 400mA and
return to zero current on each cycle. During Burst Mode
operation the operation is variable frequency, providing
a significant efficiency improvement at light loads. It is
recommended the Burst Mode operation only be en-
tered once the part has started up.
MODE/SYNC = Low. Disable Burst Mode operation and
maintain low noise, constant frequency operation.
MODE/SYNC = External CLK. Synchronization of the
internal oscillator and Burst Mode operation disable. A
clock pulse width of 100ns to 2µs is required to
synchronize.

C
(Pin 9):
Error Amp Output. A frequency compensation
network is connected to this pin to compensate the loop.
See the section “Compensating the Feedback Loop” for
guidelines.
SHDN (Pin 10):
Shutdown. Grounding this pin shuts down
the IC. Tie to >1V to enable (V
DD
or digital gate output).
During shutdown the output voltage will hold up to V
IN
minus a diode drop due to the body diode of the PMOS
synchronous switch. If the application requires a com-
plete disconnect during shutdown then refer to section
“Output Disconnect”.
