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.
