n LT3495/LT3495B/ LT3495-1/LT3495B-1 650mA/350mA Micropower Low Noise Boost Converter with Output Disconnect DESCRIPTION
The LT®3495/LT3495B/LT3495-1/LT3495B-1 are low noise boost converters with integrated power switch, feedback resistor and output disconnect circuitry. The parts control power delivery by varying both the peak inductor current and switch off-time. This novel* control scheme results in low output voltage ripple as well as high efficiency over a wide load range. For the LT3495/LT3495-1, the off-time of the switch is not allowed to exceed a fixed level, guaranteeing the switching frequency stays above the audio band for the entire load range. The parts feature a high performance NPN power switch with a 650mA and 350mA current limit for the LT3495/LT3495B and LT3495-1/LT3495B-1 respectively. The quiescent current is a low 60μA, which is further reduced to 0.1μA in shutdown. The internal disconnect circuitry allows the output voltage to be isolated from the input during shutdown.
