LTC3459 OPERATION This is accomplished by varying the tOFF period by ap- 0 8 . pF • 1 2 . 5V proximately 1/(VOUT – VIN). Due to propagation delays t ≈ n 100 s OFF + V – V and a 0.6μA bias current in the timer, the t OUT IN OFF time can be 0 6 . A μ + more accurately predicted as follows: k 500 If VOUT is less than VIN, the tOFF delay is fi xed at approxi- mately 750ns. APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Inductor SelectionCapacitor Selection An inductor with a minimum value of 15μH is recommended The boost converter requires two capacitors. The input for use with the LTC3459. Values larger than 15μH will capacitor should be an X5R type of at least 1.0μF. The VOUT result in lower ripple current and switching frequency. capacitor should also be an X5R type between 2.2μF and High frequency ferrite core materials are strongly recom- 10μF. A larger capacitor should be used if lower peak-to- mended. Some inductors meeting these requirements are peak output ripple and better line regulation is desired. listed in Table 1. Table 2.
