LT1676
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
to maintain proper short-circuit protection. Transistors
Q1, Q2 and resistor R7 form a high VIN, low quiescent
current voltage regulator to power U2.
Burst Mode Operation Configuration with UVLO
Figure 7a uses an external comparator to control the
LT1676 via its SHDN pin. As such, the user’s ability to set
an undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold with a resistor
divider from VIN to SHDN pin to ground is lost. This ability
is regained in the slightly more complicated circuit shown
in Figure 8.
A dual comparator, the LTC1442, replaces the previous
single comparator. The second comparator monitors a
resistive divider between VIN and ground to provide the
(user-adjustable) UVLO function. The two comparator
outputs are logically combined in a CMOS NOR gate (U3)
to drive the LT1676 SHDN pin.
Minimum Size Inductor Application
Figure 4a employs power path parts that are capable of
delivering the full rated output capability of the LT1676.
Potential users with low output current requirements may
be interested in substituting a physically smaller and less
costly power inductor. The circuit shown on the last page
of this data sheet is topologically identical to the basic
application, but specifies a much smaller inductor, and, a
somewhat smaller input electrolytic capacitor. This circuit
is capable of delivering up to 150mA at 5V, or, up to 200mA
at 3.3V. The only disadvantage is that due to the increased
resistance in the inductor, the circuit is no longer capable
of withstanding indefinite short circuits to ground. The
LT1676 will still current limit at its nominal ILIM value, but
this will overheat the inductor. Momentary short circuits
of a few seconds or less can still be tolerated.
