The LTC
廬
1871 is a wide input range, current mode, boost,
flyback and SEPIC controller that drives an N-channel
power MOSFET and requires very few external compo-
nents. Intended for low to medium power applications, it
eliminates the need for a current sense resistor by utiliz-
ing the power MOSFET鈥檚 on-resistance, thereby maximiz-
ing efficiency.
The IC鈥檚 operating frequency can be set with an external
resistor over a 50kHz to 1MHz range, and can be synchro-
nized to an external clock using the MODE/SYNC pin.
Burst Mode operation at light loads, a low minimum
operating supply voltage of 2.5V and a low shutdown
quiescent current of 10碌A make the LTC1871 ideally
suited for battery-operated systems.
For applications requiring constant frequency operation,
Burst Mode operation can be defeated using the MODE/
SYNC pin. Higher output voltage boost, SEPIC and fly-
back applications are possible with the LTC1871 by
connecting the SENSE pin to a resistor in the source of the
power MOSFET.
The LTC1871 is available in the 10-lead MSOP package.
