The LTC®3525-3/LTC3525-3.3/LTC3525-5 are high efficiency synchronous step-up DC/DC converters with
output disconnect that can start up with an input as low
as 1V. They offer a compact, high efficiency alternative to
charge pumps in single cell or dual cell alkaline or Li-ion
applications. Only three small external components are
required. The LTC3525 is offered in fixed output voltages
of 3V, 3.3V or 5V.

Tiny 6-Pin SC70 Package
The device includes a 0.5Ω N-channel MOSFET switch
and a 0.8Ω P-channel synchronous rectifier. Peak switch
current ranges from 150mA to 400mA, depending on
load, providing enhanced efficiency. Quiescent current
is an ultralow 7µA, maximizing battery life in portable

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: The LTC3525E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
Note 3: Specification is guaranteed by design and not 100% tested in
production.
Note 4: Current Measurements are performed when the LTC3525 is not
switching.
Note 5: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.

U
OPERATIO
The LTC3525 is a high performance Burst Mode operation
only, synchronous boost converter requiring only three
small external components. Its simplicity and small size
make it a high efficiency alternative to charge pump designs.
It is designed to start up from a single alkaline or nickel
cell, with input voltages as low as 1V, or from two or three
cells (or a Li-ion battery), with voltages as high as 4.5V.
Once started, VIN can be as low as 0.5V (depending on
load current) and maintain regulation. The output voltage
is preset internally to either 3V, 3.3V or 5V. Peak switch
current is 400mA minimum, providing regulation with load
currents up to 150mA, depending on input voltage.
Synchronous rectification provides high efficiency operation while eliminating the need for an external Schottky
diode. True output disconnect eliminates inrush current
at start-up, and allows VOUT to be disconnected from VIN,
for zero shutdown current.
The output disconnect feature also allows the LTC3525
to maintain regulation with an input voltage equal to or
greater than VOUT. Note, however, that the synchronous
rectifier is not enabled in this mode resulting in lower efficiency and reduced output current capability.
The operating quiescent current is only 7µA typical, allowing the converter to maintain high efficiency at extremely
light loads.
Shutdown
The LTC3525 is shut down by pulling ⎯S⎯H⎯D⎯N below 0.4V,
and made active by raising it above 1V. Note that ⎯S⎯H⎯D⎯N
can be driven as high as 6V, however, if it is more than
0.9V above the higher of VIN or VOUT, the ⎯S⎯H⎯D⎯N input
current will increase from zero to 1.5µA.
After the ⎯S⎯H⎯D⎯N pin rises, there is a short delay before
switching starts. The delay is 20µs to 120µs, depending
on input voltage (see Typical Performance Characteristics
curve).
Start-up
A start-up oscillator allows the LTC3525 to start with input
voltages as low as 1V. It remains in start-up mode until
two conditions are met. VOUT must exceed VIN by at least
0.2V typical and either VIN or VOUT must be greater than
1.8V typical.
During startup, the synchronous rectifier is not enabled,
and the internal P-channel synchronous rectifier acts as
a follower, causing the peak voltage on SW to reach (VIN
+ 1V) typical. This limits inrush current by maintaining
control of the inductor current when VOUT is less than VIN.
To reduce power dissipation in the P-channel synchronous
rectifier when the output is shorted, a foldback feature is
incorporated that reduces the peak inductor current when
VIN is more than 1.7V greater than VOUT.
Normal Operation
Once VOUT has increased more than 0.2V typical above
VIN, and either voltage is above 1.8V, normal operation
begins, with synchronous rectification enabled. In this
mode, the internal N-channel MOSFET connected between SW and GND stays on until the inductor current
reaches a maximum peak value, after which it is turned
off and the P-channel synchronous rectifier is turned
on. It stays on, delivering current to the output, until the
inductor current has dropped below a minimum value at
which point it turns off and the cycle repeats. When the
output voltage reaches its regulated value both switches
are turned off and the LTC3525 goes to sleep, during
which time the output capacitor supplies current to the
load. Once the output voltage drops approximately 9mV
below the regulation value the IC leaves sleep mode and
switching is resumed.
The LTC3525 has been designed for low output voltage
ripple. The output voltage ripple is typically only 20mV
peak-to-peak at light load and 60mV peak-to-peak at

Figure 1. Inductor Current Changing as a Function of Load
full load using the minimum recommended 10µF output
capacitor for the LTC3525-3.3 and a 22µF capacitor for
the LTC3525-5 (due to the capacitor’s DC bias effect). An
antiring circuit damps any oscillation at the switch node
when the inductor current falls to zero.
Power Adjust Feature
The LTC3525 incorporates a feature that maximizes
efficiency at light load while providing increased power
capability at heavy load by adjusting the peak and valley
of the inductor current as a function of load. Lowering the
peak inductor current to 150mA at light load optimizes
efficiency by reducing conduction losses in the internal
MOSFET switches. As the load increases, the peak inductor
current is automatically increased to a maximum of 400mA.
At intermediate loads, the peak inductor current may vary
from 150mA to 400mA. Figure 1 shows an example of
how the inductor current changes as the load increases.
Please note that output capacitor values greater than 47µF
will result in higher peak currents than necessary at light
load. This will lower the light load efficiency.
The valley of the inductor current is automatically adjusted
as well, to maintain a relatively constant inductor ripple
current. This keeps the switching frequency relatively
constant.
The maximum average load current that can be supported
is given by:
IO(MAX) =
0.3 • VIN • η
Amps
VO
Where η is the efficiency (see Typical Performance Characteristics).
The “burst” frequency (how often the LTC3525 delivers
a burst of current pulses to the load) is determined by
the internal hysteresis (output voltage ripple), the load
current and the amount of output capacitance. All Burst
Mode operation or hysteretic converters will enter the
audible frequency range when the load is light enough.
However, due to the low peak inductor current at light
load, circuits using the LTC3525 do not typically generate
any audible noise.

Component Selection
A ceramic input bypass capacitor should be located as
close as possible to the VIN and GND pins of the IC. A
minimum value of 1µF is recommended. If the battery is
more than a few inches away, a bulk tantalum decoupling
cap of at least 10µF is recommended on VIN.
Inductor values between 4.7µH and 15µH are recommended. In most applications 10µH will yield the best
compromise between size and efficiency. The inductor
should be a low-loss ferrite design and must be rated for
peak currents of at least 400mA without saturating. Inductors with lower DC resistance will improve efficiency. Note
that the inductor value does not have a significant effect
on ripple current, so while lower values will increase the
operating frequency, they do not reduce output voltage
ripple.
The output capacitor should also be a ceramic, located close
to the VOUT and GND pins. A minimum value of 10µF is
recommended. Increasing the value of the output capacitor
to 22µF will result in lower output ripple. Higher capacitor
values will only offer a small reduction in output ripple,
while reducing light load efficiency by causing the peak
inductor current to increase above its minimum value of
150mA. The input and output capacitors should be X5R
or X7R types, not Y5V.
Some recommended inductor examples are Murata
LQH32C and Coilcraft LPO4812, LPO3310, DO3314,
DS1608 and MSS4020.
