1.2MHz Boost
DC/DC Converter with
1.5A Switch and Soft-Start
DESCRIPTIO
The LT^®1946 is a fixed frequency step-up DC/DC converter
containing an internal 1.5A, 36V switch. Capable of gener-
ating 8V at 430mA from a 3.3V input, the LT1946 is ideal
for large TFT-LCD panel power supplies. The LT1946
switches at 1.2MHz, allowing the use of tiny, low profile
inductors and low value ceramic capacitors. Loop com-
pensation can be either internal or external, giving the user
flexibility in setting loop compensation and allowing opti-
mized transient response with low ESR ceramic output
capacitors. Soft-start is controlled with an external capaci-
tor, which determines the input current ramp rate during
start-up.
The 8-lead MSOP package and high switching frequency
ensure a low profile overall solution less than 1.2mm high.
