A soft start feature limits inrush current at turn-on, mitigating start-up problems that may result when the input is supplied by another low power DC/DC converter. The LTC1556 also includes an auxiliary LDO regulator/power switch that may be used to power the frequency synthesizer or other low power circuitry.
Battery life is maximized by 60µA operating current and 1µA shutdown current. Board area is minimized by miniature 16- and 20-pin narrow SSOP packages and the need for only three small external capacitors.
