DESCRIPTION
The LTC®3499/LTC3499B are synchronous, fixed frequency step-up DC/DC power converters with integrated reverse battery protection that protect and disconnect the devices and load when the battery polarity is reversed while delivering high efficiency in a small (3mm × 3mm) DFN package. True output disconnect eliminates inrush current and allows zero load current in shutdown.
