The LT1301 is a micropower step-up DC/DC converter that
utilizes Burst Mode™ operation. The device can deliver 5V
or 12V from a two-cell battery input. It features program-
mable 5V or 12V output via a logic-controlled input, no-
load quiescent current of 120µA and a shutdown pin which
reduces supply current to 10µA. The on-chip power switch
has a low 170mV saturation voltage at a switch current of
1A, a four-fold reduction over prior designs. A 155kHz
internal oscillator allows the use of extremely small sur-
face mount inductors and capacitors. Operation is guaran-
teed at 1.8V input. This allows more energy to be extracted
from the battery, increasing operating life. The I
LIM
pin can
be used for soft start or to program peak switch current
with a single resistor allowing the use of even smaller
inductors in lighter load applications. The LT1301 is
available in an 8-lead SOIC package, minimizing board
space requirements. For a selectable 3.3V/5V step-up
converter, please see the LT1300. For higher output
power, see the LT1302.
