DUESCRIPTIO
The LT®1309 is a 500kHz micropower DC/DC converter
for Flash Memory. The regulator features Burst Mode
operation with a 0.5A, 300mV switch, enabling 85%
efficiency at the fixed 12V output. High frequency operation permits the use of small value, and therefore small
size, surface mount inductors and capacitors. The LT1309
comes in an 8-lead SO package allowing extremely
compact PC board layouts. These features make the
device attractive for PCMCIA cards, cellular phones and
other applications where PC board space is limited.
Quiescent current is 650µA decreasing to 9µA when the
part shuts down. The device includes a soft start feature
which limits supply current transients during turn-on.
The LT1309 contains a VPP VALID comparator with a
logic output that goes low when the output voltage is
ready to program 12V Flash Memory. This comparator
simplifies the interface to external control logic.
Burst Mode is a trademark of Linear Technology Corporation.
