Description
The LTC®3525-3/LTC3525-3.3/LTC3525-5 are high efficiency synchronous step-up DC/DC converters with output disconnect that can start up with an input as low as 0.85V. They offer a compact, high efficiency alternative to charge pumps in single cell or dual cell alkaline or Li-Ion applications. Only three small external components are required. The LTC3525 is offered in fixed output
voltages of 3V, 3.3V or 5V. The device includes a 0.5Ω N-channel
MOSFET switch and a 0.8Ω P-channel synchronous rectifier. Peak switch current ran...
