chronous boost converter controller that drives an all
N-channel power MOSFET stage. Synchronous rectifica-
tion increases efficiency, reduces power losses and eases
thermal requirements, simplifying high power boost ap-
plications. The 28µA no-load quiescent current extends
operating run time in battery-powered systems.
A 4.5V to 60V input supply range encompasses a wide
range of system architectures and battery chemistries.
When biased from the output of the boost converter or
another auxiliary supply, the LTC3769 can operate from an
input supply as low as 2.3V after start-up. The operating
frequency can be set within a 50kHz to 900kHz range or
synchronized to an external clock using the internal PLL.
The SS pin ramps the output voltage during start-up. The
PLLIN/MODE pin selects Burst Mode
®
operation, pulse-
skipping mode or forced continuous mode at light loads.
