LT3484EDCB-0#TRPBF: A Compact, Efficient Boost Converter

The LT3484EDCB-0#TRPBF is a high-performance, micropower step-up DC/DC converter from Linear Technology, designed to meet the needs of a wide range of applications requiring efficient voltage boosting. This compact component is housed in a low-profile (2mm x 3mm) DFN package, making it ideal for space-constrained applications where board real estate is at a premium.

With an input voltage range of 2.4V to 16V, the LT3484EDCB-0#TRPBF is versatile enough to be powered from a single cell lithium-ion battery or multiple cell batteries, as well as other standard power supplies. It's capable of generating an adjustable output voltage up to 34V, allowing it to drive a variety of loads, including white LEDs, OLED panels, and other high voltage requirements.

The device features an internal 350mA switch, which can deliver output voltages as high as 34V from an input voltage as low as 2.7V. This makes it particularly useful for portable applications, where efficiency and battery life are critical. Additionally, the LT3484 employs a unique fixed frequency, current mode control scheme which, combined with a stable operation with ceramic output capacitors, results in low, predictable output ripple.

One of the key benefits of the LT3484EDCB-0#TRPBF is its low quiescent current of only 25uA, which ensures minimal drain on the power source when the device is in operation. Furthermore, the converter features a shutdown mode that reduces the quiescent current to less than 1uA, providing an additional power-saving advantage for battery-powered applications.

The device is also designed with protection features in mind, including current limiting and thermal shutdown, which safeguard the device and the load in adverse conditions. The LT3484EDCB-0#TRPBF is an ideal solution for designers looking for a reliable, high-efficiency boost converter that can be easily integrated into a variety of electronic projects.

In summary, Linear Technology's LT3484EDCB-0#TRPBF is a high-quality, versatile boost converter that offers a compact size, high efficiency, and robust protection features, making it an excellent choice for both portable and fixed power applications.
