The LTC3872 is a constant frequency current mode boost DC/DC controller that drives an N-channel power MOSFET and requires very few external components. The No R_SENSE^™ architecture eliminates the need for a sense resistor, improves efficiency and saves board space.

The LTC3872 provides excellent AC and DC load and line regulation with ±1.5% output voltage accuracy. It incorporates an undervoltage lockout feature that shuts down the device when the input voltage falls below 2.3V.

High switching frequency of 550kHz allows the use of a small inductor. The LTC3872 is available in an 8-lead low profile (1mm) ThinSOT^™ package and 8-pin 2mm × 3mm DFN package.

Product Details

Demonstration circuit 989B-A is a single-output boost converter featuring the NO R_SENSE LTC3872, a nonsynchronous tiny, boost controller. The input voltage is from 3.0V to 4.5V without output de-rating. The demo board has a 5V@2A (max) output. The minimum input voltage is 2.75V. When the input voltage is lower than 3V, output current should be de-rated. NO R_SENSE technique reduces both solution size and power dissipation. The switching frequency is fixed at 550 kHz. With current mode control and OPTI-LOOP compensation, DC989B-A can be optimized to provide fast transient response.
