The LTC®3401 is a high efficiency, fixed frequency, stepup DC/DC converter that operates from an input voltage
below 1V. The device includes a 0.16Ω N-channel MOSFET
switch and a 0.18Ω P-channel synchronous rectifier.
®
Switching frequencies up to 3MHz are programmed with
an external timing resistor and the oscillator can be
synchronized to an external clock. An external Schottky
diode is optional but will slightly improve efficiency.
Quiescent current is only 38μA in Burst Mode operation,
maximizing battery life in portable applications. Burst
Mode operation is user controlled and can be enabled by
driving the MODE/SYNC pin high. If the MODE/SYNC pin
has either a clock or is driven low, then fixed frequency
switching is enabled.
Other features include 1μA shutdown, antiringing control,
open-drain power good output, thermal shutdown and
current limit. The LTC3401 is available in the 10-lead
thermally enhanced MSOP package. Higher current applications should use the 2A rated LTC3402 synchronous
boost converter. Applications that require V
OUT
< 2.6V
should use the LTC3423.

MODE/SYNC (Pin 2): Burst Mode Select and Oscillator
Synchronization.
MODE/SYNC = High. Enable Burst Mode operation. The
inductor peak inductor current will be 1/3 the current
limit value and return to zero current on each cycle.
During Burst Mode operation the operation is variable
frequency, providing a significant efficiency improvement at light loads. It is recommended the Burst Mode
operation only be entered once the part has started up.
MODE/SYNC = Low. Disable Burst Mode operation and
maintain low noise, constant frequency operation.
MODE/SYNC = External CLK. Synchronization of the
internal oscillator and Burst Mode operation disable. A
clock pulse width of 100ns to 2μs is required to
synchronize.
VIN (Pin 3): Input Supply Pin.
SW (Pin 4): Switch Pin. Connect inductor and Schottky
diode here. For applications with output voltages over
4.3V, a Schottky diode is required to ensure that the SW
pin voltage does not exceed its absolute maximum rating.
Minimize trace length to keep EMI down. For discontinuous inductor current, a controlled impedance is placed
from SW to VIN from the IC to eliminate high frequency
ringing due to the resonant tank of the inductor and SW
node capacitance, therefore reducing EMI radiation.

open-drain output is low when V

FB (Pin 8): Feedback Pin. Connect resistor divider tap
here. The output voltage can be adjusted from 2.6V to

VC (Pin 9): Error Amp Output. A frequency compensation
network is connected to this pin to compensate the loop.
See the section “Compensating the Feedback Loop” for
guidelines.
SHDN (Pin 10): Shutdown. Grounding this pin shuts down
the IC. Tie to >1V to enable (VIN or digital gate output). To
operate with input voltages below 1V once the converter
has started, a 1M resistor from SHDN to VIN, and a 5M
resistor from SHDN to V
