DESCRIPTION The LTC®3499/LTC3499B are synchronous, fixed frequency step-up DC/DC power converters with integrated reverse battery protection that protect and disconnect the devices and load when the battery polarity is reversed while delivering high efficiency in a small (3mm × 3mm) DFN package. True output disconnect eliminates inrush current and allows zero load current in shutdown. The devices feature an input voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V enabling operation from two alkaline or NiMH batteries. The switching frequency is internally set at 1.2MHz allowing the use of tin...
