About this manual

The document introduces the LT1300 and LT1301 micropower DC/DC converter ICs, which are designed to improve electrical and physical efficiency in battery-based power supply designs. These devices feature a 1A on-chip switch with a low saturation voltage of 170mV and utilize Burst Mode operation to maintain high efficiency across the full load range.

Frequently asked questions

What is the quiescent current of the LT1300?

The fully operating quiescent current is only 120uA.

How does the device enter shutdown mode?

Shutdown is effected by taking the SHUTDOWN pin high, which reduces Vin current to 10uA.

What is the peak switch current?

The switch current is nominally set at 1A, which can be reduced to approximately 400mA via the IL pin.
