LTC3428
4A, 2MHz Dual Phase
Step-Up DC/DC Converter

DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
3428 is a 2-phase, current mode boost con-
verter, capable of supplying 2A at 5V from a 3.3V input.
Two 93mΩ, 2A N-channel MOSFET switches allow the
LTC3428 to deliver high efficiency from input voltages as
low as 1.6V.
External parts count and size are minimized by a 1MHz
switching frequency and a 2-phase design. Two phase
operation significantly reduces peak inductor currents and
capacitor ripple current, doubling the effective switching
frequency and minimizing inductor and capacitor size.
External compensation allows the feedback loop response
to be optimized for a particular application.
Other features include: an active low shutdown pin re-
duces supply current to below 1μA, internal soft-start,
antiringing control and thermal shutdown. The LTC3428
is available in a low profile (0.75mm) 10-lead (3mm
×
3mm) DFN 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 LTC3428E is 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:
Specification is guaranteed by design and not 100% tested in
production.
Note 4:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.

PIN FUNCTIONS
PGNDA, PGNDB (Pins 1, 10, 11 (Exposed Pad)):
Power
Ground for the IC. Tie directly to local ground plane.
SWA (Pin 2), SWB (Pin 9):
Phase B and Phase A Switch
Pins. The inductor and Schottky diodes for each phase
are connected to these pins. Minimize trace length to
reduce EMI.
V
OUT
(Pin 3):
Power Supply Output and Bootstrapped
Power Source for the IC. Connect low ESR output filter
capacitors from this pin to the ground plane.
SHDN
(Pin 4):
Shutdown Pin. Grounding this pin shuts
down the IC. Connect to a voltage greater than 1.5V to
enable.
V
C
(Pin 5):
Error Amp Output. A frequency compensation
network is connected to this pin to compensate the boost
converter loop.
FB (Pin 6):
Feedback Pin. A resistor divider from V
OUT
is
connected here to set the output voltage according to
V
OUT
= 1.243 • (1 + R1 / R2)
AGND (Pin 7):
Signal Ground for the IC. Connect to ground
plane near feedback resistor divider.
V
IN
(Pin 8):
Input Supply Pin. Bypass V
IN
with a low ESR
ceramic capacitor of at least 4.7μF. X5R and X7R dielectrics
are preferred for their superior voltage and temperature
characteristics.
