LT3461AES6#TRPBF - A Compact Step-Up DC/DC Converter

The LT3461AES6#TRPBF is a versatile and compact step-up DC/DC converter from Linear Technology, designed to meet the needs of a wide array of applications requiring a high-efficiency power conversion solution. This device is ideal for portable devices, as it provides a space-efficient power management solution without sacrificing performance.

With an input voltage range of 3V to 30V, the LT3461AES6#TRPBF can operate from a variety of power sources, including single-cell lithium-ion batteries. It is capable of generating an adjustable output voltage up to 40V, which can be set with a single external resistor. This flexibility makes it suitable for powering OLED displays, CCD sensors, and other devices that require a higher voltage than what is available from standard battery voltages.

The LT3461AES6#TRPBF features an internal 1.3A, 40V switch, which allows it to provide output currents up to 300mA with a typical efficiency of up to 85%. This high efficiency helps to minimize heat generation and extend battery life in portable applications. The device operates at a fixed frequency of 1.3MHz, enabling the use of small, low-cost capacitors and inductors, further reducing the overall solution size.

Additional features of this converter include a low quiescent current of only 2.5µA in shutdown, ensuring power conservation when the device is not active. The LT3461AES6#TRPBF also incorporates several protection features such as current limiting and thermal shutdown, enhancing the reliability and longevity of the end application.

The product is available in a ThinSOT package, which is highly suitable for space-constrained applications. Its robust design and comprehensive feature set make the LT3461AES6#TRPBF an excellent choice for designers looking for a high-performance, high-voltage boost converter in a miniature footprint.
