DESCRIPTION

Demonstration circuit 1859A is a dual phase single out-
put DC/DC boost converter featuring the
DC1859A operates over 1.8V to 5.5V input and generates
12V at up to 1.5A from a 5V input. The maximum output
current for a 1.8V input is 750mA. Also, the LTC3124 has
a 2% precise voltage reference, which can generate an
output voltage with 2.2% tolerance if 0.1% voltage divider
resistors are used. The 1MHz switching frequency opera-
tion results in small and efficient circuit. The converter
operates with only one phase in Burst Mode

different output voltages.
The DC1859 has small circuit footprint. It is a high perfor-
mance and cost effective solution for generating output
voltages up to 15V from inputs as low as 1.8V.

    DEMO MANUAL DC1859A QUICK START PROCEDURE Output Short Circuit Protection The LTC3124 features safe short-circuit and thermal protection. The part can operate continuously with output shorted while maintaining a maximum set current limit. The peak switch current is reduced during overload to about 2A and is restored to 3.5A once the output exceeds 1.5V.
