LT1930/LT1930A
1A, 1.2MHz/2.2MHz,
Step-Up DC/DC Converters
in ThinSOT
DESCRIPTIO
The LT
®
1930 and LT1930A are the industry’s highest
power SOT-23 switching regulators. Both include an
internal 1A, 36V switch allowing high current outputs to be
generated in a small footprint. The LT1930 switches at
1.2MHz, allowing the use of tiny, low cost and low height
capacitors and inductors. The faster LT1930A switches at
2.2MHz, enabling further reductions in inductor size.
Complete regulator solutions approaching one tenth of a
square inch in area are achievable with these devices.
Multiple output power supplies can now use a separate
regulator for each output voltage, replacing cumbersome
quasi-regulated approaches using a single regulator and
custom transformers.
A constant frequency internally compensated current mode
PWM architecture results in low, predictable output noise
that is easy to filter. Low ESR ceramic capacitors can be
used at the output, further reducing noise to the millivolt
level. The high voltage switch on the LT1930/LT1930A is
rated at 36V, making the device ideal for boost converters
up to 34V as well as for single-ended primary inductance
converter (SEPIC) and flyback designs. The LT1930 can
generate 5V at up to 480mA from a 3.3V supply or 5V at
300mA from four alkaline cells in a SEPIC design.
The LT1930/LT1930A are available in the 5-lead ThinSOT
package.
