Linear Technology LTC3425 Synchronous Step-Up DC/DC Converter Datasheet

The LTC3425 is a synchronous, 4-phase boost converter with output disconnect capable of operation below 1V input. It includes four N-channel MOSFET switches and four P-channel synchronous rectifiers for an effective RDS(ON) of 0.045Ω and 0.05Ω, respectively. 4-phase operation greatly reduces peak inductor currents, and capacitor ripple current, and increases effective switching frequency, minimizing inductor and capacitor sizes. True output disconnect eliminates inrush current and allows zero load current in shutdown.
