APPLICATIONS

■
■
■
The device contains a low-battery detector with a 200mV
reference and shuts down to less than 5µA quiescent
current. No-load quiescent current is 100µA and the
internal NPN power switch handles a 2A current with a
voltage drop of just 300mV.
High frequency 600kHz switching allows the use of small,
surface mount components. The LT1308’s current mode
architecture provides fast response to load and line variations. The device is available in an 8-lead SO package.

The LT ®1308 is a micropower, fixed frequency boost
DC/DC converter that operates from an input voltage as
low as 1V. Capable of delivering 5V at load current of 1A
from a single Li-Ion cell, the LT1308 also features power
saving Burst Mode operation at light loads. High efficiency
is maintained over a broad 1mA to 1A load range.

are 47kΩ and 22nF. Minimize trace area at VC.

LAYOUT HINTS
1
The LT1308 switches current at high speed, mandating
careful attention to layout for proper performance. You will
not get advertised performance with careless layouts.
Figure 2 shows recommended component placement.
Follow this closely in your PC layout. Note the direct path
of the switching loops. Input capacitor CIN must be placed
close (< 5mm) to the IC package. As little as 10mm of wire
or PC trace from CIN to VIN will cause problems such as
inability to regulate or oscillation. A 10µF ceramic bypass
capacitor is the only input capacitance required provided
the battery has a low inductance path to the circuit. The
battery itself provides the bulk capacitance the device
requires for proper operation. If the battery is located some

distance from the circuit, an additional input capacitor may
be required. A 220µF aluminum electrolytic unit works well
in these cases. This capacitor need not have low ESR.
OPERATION FROM A LABORATORY POWER SUPPLY
If a lab supply is used, the leads used to connect the circuit
to the supply can have significant inductance at the
LT1308’s switching frequency. As in the previous situation, an electrolytic capacitor may be required at the circuit
in order to reduce the AC impedance of the input sufficiently. An alternative solution is to attach the circuit
directly to the power supply at the supply terminals,
without the use of leads. The power supply’s output
capacitance will then provide the bulk capacitance the
LT1308 circuit requires.
tive input of the gain stage is tied internally to a 200mV
reference. The positive input is the LBI pin. Arrangement
as a low-battery detector is straightforward. Figure 4
details hookup. R1 and R2 need only be low enough in
value so that the bias current of the LBI pin doesn’t cause
large errors. For R2, 100k is adequate. The 200mV reference can also be accessed as shown in Figure 5.

The LT1308 has a shutdown pin (SHDN) that must be
grounded to shut the device down or tied to a voltage equal
or greater than VIN to operate. The shutdown circuit is
shown in Figure 3.
Note that allowing SHDN to float turns on both the startup current (Q2) and the shutdown current (Q3) for VIN >
2VBE. The LT1308 doesn’t know what to do in this situation
and behaves erratically. SHDN voltage above VIN is allowed. This merely reverse-biases Q3’s base emitter junction, a benign condition.

GSM PHONES
The LT1308 is suitable for converting a single Li-Ion cell
to 5V for powering GSM RF power stages. Figure 6 details
a Li-Ion to 5V converter circuit using frequency compensation optimized for a typical GSM pulsed load. Figure 7
details transient response of Figure 6’s circuit with a
100mA to 1A pulsed load. A slower time sweep is used to
show several transmit pulses in Figure 8. At a VIN of 2.7V,
additional output capacitance is recommended to help
minimize VOUT droop. Figure 9 shows VOUT with an input
voltage of 2.7V. Figure 10 expands the horizontal sweep
speed to 500µs/division to show detail of one transmit
pulse.
