DESCRIPTION
The LT
廬
1370 is a monolithic high frequency current mode
switching regulator. It can be operated in all standard
switching configurations including boost, buck, flyback,
forward, inverting and 鈥淐uk.鈥?A 6A high efficiency switch
is included on the die, along with all oscillator, control and
protection circuitry.
The LT1370 typically consumes only 4.5mA quiescent
current and has higher efficiency than previous parts.
High frequency switching allows for very small inductors
to be used.
New design techniques increase flexibility and maintain
ease of use. Switching is easily synchronized to an exter-
nal logic level source. A logic low on the Shutdown pin
reduces supply current to 12碌A(chǔ). Unique error amplifier
circuitry can regulate positive or negative output voltage
while maintaining simple frequency compensation tech-
niques. Nonlinear error amplifier transconductance
reduces output overshoot on start-up or overload recov-
ery. Oscillator frequency shifting protects external com-
ponents during overload conditions.
