The LT
®
1618 step-up DC/DC converter combines a tradi-
tional voltage feedback loop and a unique current feedback
loop to operate as a constant-current, constant-voltage
source. This fixed frequency, current mode switcher oper-
ates from a wide input voltage range of 1.6V to 18V, and
the high switching frequency of 1.4MHz permits the use of
tiny, low profile inductors and capacitors. The current
sense voltage is set at 50mV and can be adjusted using the
I
ADJ
pin.
Available in the 10-Pin (3mm × 3mm) Exposed Pad DFN
and 10-pin MSOP packages, the LT1618 provides a com-
plete solution for constant-current applications.
