LT1777
TYPICAL APPLICATION
Minimum PC Board Size Application
The previously described basic applications employ power
path parts which are capable of delivering the full rated
input supply voltage and output current capabilities of the
LT1777. A substantial improvement in printed circuit
board area requirements can be achieved with the circuit
shown below. This uses a physically smaller and less
costly power inductor and a tantalum input capacitor. This
circuit is capable of delivering up to 300mA at 5V, from
input voltages as high as 28V. 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 LT1777 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.
