The drive current for the output disconnect PNP is returned to the V trol scheme to provide excellent line and load regulation. BAT pin. This allows the pass transistor to turn off when the CAP voltage Operation can be best understood by referring to the Block falls to less than 1.2V above V Diagram in Figure 1. At the start of each oscillator cycle, BAT. The VBAT pin allows applications in which the power (inductors L1 and L2) the SR latch X1 is set, which turns on the power switch and internal control circuitry (V Q1.

voltage exceeds the level at the negative input of A2, the SR latch X1 is reset, turning off the power switch Q1. The A 10μH inductor is recommended for the LT3487 boost level at the negative input of A2 is set by the error amplifi er channel. The inverting channel can use uncoupled 15μH A1, and is simply an amplifi ed version of the difference inductors, or coupled 10μH inductors. Small size and between the feedback voltage and the reference voltage high effi ciency are the major concerns for most LT3487 of 1.23V.

DCR (copper wire resistance) at 2MHz are good choices If the error amplifi er’s output increases, more current is for LT3487 applications.

Capacitor Selection
The small size of ceramic capacitors makes them suitable VSWP 20V/DIV for LT3487 applications. X5R and X7R types of ceramic ILI capacitors are recommended because they retain their 100mA/DIV V capacitance over wider voltage and temperature ranges SWN 20V/DIV than other types such as Y5V or Z5U. A 1μF input capaci- ISWN tor is suffi cient for most LT3487 applications. The output 100mA/DIV capacitors required for stability depend on the application. 200ns/DIV 3487 F02 VIN = 3.6V For the typical Li-Ion to +15V, –8V application, the positive VPOS = 15V, 25mA VNEG = –8V, 50mA channel requires a 4.7μF output capacitor and the negative
