With an input range of 2.7V to 10V, the LTC3785-1 is well suited for a wide variety of single or dual cell Li-Ion or multicell alkaline/NiMH applications. The operating frequency can be programmed from 100kHz to 1MHz. The soft-start time and current limit are also programmable. The soft-start capacitor doubles as the fault timer which can program the IC to latch off or recycle after a determined off time. Burst Mode operation is user controlled and can be enabled by driving the mode pin high. The LTC3785-1 includes a power good output that indicates when the output voltage is within 7.5% of its desi...
