Application circuits are included to show the capability of the LT117/LT1171/LT1172. A complete design manual (AN19) should be obtained to assist in developing new designs. This manual contains a comprehensive discussion of both the LT17 and the external components used with it, as well as complete formulas for calculating the values of these components. The manual can also be used for the LT117/LT1171/LT1172 by factoring in the higher frequency. A CAD design program called SwitcherCAD TM is also available. LT117/LT1171/LT1172 1kHz, 5A, 2.5A and 1.25A High Efficiency Switching Regulators DESCRIPTIO The LT 117/LT1171/LT1172 are monolithic high power switching regulators. They can be operated in all standard switching configurations including buck, boost, flyback, forward, inverting and Cuk. A high current, high efficiency switch is included on the die along with all oscillator, control and protection circuitry. Integration of all functions allows the LT117/LT1171/LT1172 to be built in a standard 5-pin TO-3 or TO-22 power package as well as the 8-pin packages (LT1172). This makes them extremely easy to use and provides bust proof operation similar to that obtained with 3-pin linear regulators. The LT117/LT1171/LT1172 operate with supply voltages from 3V to 6V, and draw only 6mA quiescent current. They can deliver load power up to 1W with no external power devices. By utilizing current-mode switching techniques, they provide excellent AC and DC load and line regulation. The LT117/LT1171/LT1172 have many unique features not found even on the vastly more difficult to use low power control chips presently available. They use adaptive antisat switch drive to allow very wide ranging load currents with no loss in efficiency. An externally activated shutdown mode reduces total supply current to 5µA typically for standby operation., LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.

Note 2: Minimum effective switch on time for the LT117/71/72 (in current limit only) is.6µs. This limits the maximum safe input voltage during an output shorted condition.

External current limiting such as that shown in AN19, Figure 39, will provide protection up to the full supply voltage rating. in Figure 39 should be reduced to 2pF. Transformer designs will tolerate much higher input voltages because leakage inductance limits rate of rise of current in the switch. These designs must be evaluated individually to assure that current limit is well controlled up to maximum input voltage. Boost mode designs are never protected against output shorts because the external catch diode and inductor connect input to output. Note 3: Measured with in hi clamp, V =.8V. I SW = 4A for LT117, 2A for LT1171, and 1A for LT1172.

Note 5: Minimum input voltage for isolated flyback mode is 7V. V MAX = 55V for HV grade in fully isolated mode to avoid switch breakdown.

E1 AND E2 INTERNALLY TIED TO GROND ON TO-3 AND TO-22 PACKAGES. E2 117/1/2 BD The LT117/LT1171/LT1172 are current mode switchers. This means that switch duty cycle is directly controlled by switch current rather than by output voltage. Referring to the block diagram, the switch is turned on at the start of each oscillator cycle. It is turned off when switch current reaches a predetermined level. Control of output voltage is obtained by using the output of a voltage sensing error amplifier to set current trip level. This technique has several advantages. First, it has immediate response to input voltage variations, unlike ordinary switchers which have notoriously poor line transient response. Second, it reduces the 9 phase shift at midfrequencies in the energy storage inductor. This greatly simplifies closedloop frequency compensation under widely varying input voltage or output load conditions. Finally, it allows simple pulse-by-pulse current limiting to provide maximum switch protection under output overload or short conditions. A low dropout internal regulator provides a 2.3V supply for all internal circuitry on the LT117/LT1171/LT1172. This low dropout design allows input voltage to vary from 3V to 6V with virtually no change in device performance. A 1kHz oscillator is the basic clock for all internal timing. It turns on the output switch via the logic and driver circuitry. Special adaptive anti-sat circuitry detects onset of saturation in the power switch and adjusts driver current instantaneously to limit switch saturation. This minimizes driver dissipation and provides very rapid turnoff of the switch. A 1.2V bandgap reference biases the positive input of the error amplifier. The negative input is brought out for output voltage sensing. This feedback pin has a second 7

8 OPERATIO LT117/LT1171/LT1172 function; when pulled low with an external resistor, it programs the LT117/LT1171/LT1172 to disconnect the main error amplifier output and connects the output of the flyback amplifier to the comparator input. The LT117/ LT1171/LT1172 will then regulate the value of the flyback pulse with respect to the supply voltage.* This flyback pulse is directly proportional to output voltage in the traditional transformer coupled flyback topology regulator. By regulating the amplitude of the flyback pulse, the output voltage can be regulated with no direct connection between input and output. The output is fully floating up to the breakdown voltage of the transformer windings. Multiple floating outputs are easily obtained with additional windings. A special delay network inside the LT117/ LT1171/LT1172 ignores the leakage inductance spike at the leading edge of the flyback pulse to improve output regulation. The error signal developed at the comparator input is brought out externally. This pin ( ) has four different functions. It is used for frequency compensation, current limit adjustment, soft starting, and total regulator shutdown. During normal regulator operation this pin sits at a voltage between.9v (low output current) and 2.V (high output current). The error amplifiers are current output (g m ) types, so this voltage can be externally clamped for adjusting current limit. Likewise, a capacitor coupled external clamp will provide soft start. Switch duty cycle goes to zero if the pin is pulled to ground through a diode, placing the LT117/LT1171/LT1172 in an idle mode. Pulling the pin below.15v causes total regulator shutdown, with only 5µA supply current for shutdown circuitry biasing. See AN19 for full application details. Extra Pins on the MiniDIP and Surface Mount Packages The 8- and 16-pin versions of the LT1172 have the emitters of the power transistor brought out separately from the ground pin. This eliminates errors due to ground pin voltage drops and allows the user to reduce switch current limit 2:1 by leaving the second emitter (E2) disconnected. The first emitter (E1) should always be connected to the ground pin. Note that switch on resistance doubles when E2 is left open, so efficiency will suffer somewhat when switch currents exceed 3mA. Also, note that chip dissipation will actually increase with E2 open during normal load operation, even though dissipation in current limit mode will decrease. See Thermal Considerations next. Thermal Considerations When sing the MiniDIP and SW Packages The low supply current and high switch efficiency of the LT1172 allow it to be used without a heat sink in most applications when the TO-22 or TO-3 package is selected. These packages are rated at 5 C/W and 35 C/W respectively. The minidips, however, are rated at 1 C/W in ceramic (J) and 13 C/W in plastic (N). Care should be taken for minidip applications to ensure that the worst case input voltage and load current conditions do not cause excessive die temperatures. The following formulas can be used as a rough guide to calculate LT1172 power dissipation. For more details, the reader is referred to Application Note 19 (AN19), Efficiency Calculations section. Average supply current (including driver current) is: I IN 6mA I SW (.4 DC/4) I SW = switch current DC = switch duty cycle Switch power dissipation is given by: P SW = (I SW ) 2 (R SW )(DC) R SW = LT1172 switch on resistance (1Ω maximum) Total power dissipation is the sum of supply current times input voltage plus switch power: P D(TOT) = (I IN )( ) P SW In a typical example, using a boost converter to generate 12V at.12a from a 5V input, duty cycle is approximately 6%, and switch current is about.65a, yielding: I IN = 6mA.65(.4 DC/4) = 18mA P SW = (.65) 2 (1Ω)(.6) =.25W P D(TOT) = (5V)(.18A).25 =.34W *See note under block diagram. 8

9 OPERATIO LT117/LT1171/LT1172 Temperature rise in a plastic minidip would be 13 C/W times.34w, or approximately 44 C. The maximum ambient temperature would be limited to 1 C (commercial temperature limit) minus 44 C, or 56 C. In most applications, full load current is used to calculate die temperature. However, if overload conditions must also be accounted for, four approaches are possible. First, if loss of regulated output is acceptable under overload conditions, the internal thermal limit of the LT1172 will protect the die in most applications by shutting off switch current. Thermal limit is not a tested parameter, however, and should be considered only for noncritical applications with temporary overloads. A second approach is to use the larger TO-22 (T) or TO-3 (K) package which, even without a heat sink, may limit die temperatures to safe levels under overload conditions. In critical situations, heat sinking of these packages is required; especially if overload conditions must be tolerated for extended periods of time. The third approach for lower current applications is to leave the second switch emitter (minidip only) open. This increases switch on resistance by 2:1, but reduces switch current limit by 2:1 also, resulting in a net 2:1 reduction in I 2 R switch dissipation under current limit conditions. The fourth approach is to clamp the pin to a voltage less than its internal clamp level of 2V. The LT1172 switch current limit is zero at approximately 1V on the pin and 2A at 2V on the pin. Peak switch current can be externally clamped between these two levels with a diode. See AN19 for details. Synchronizing with Bipolar Transistor LT117/LT1171/LT1172 Synchronizing The LT117/LT1171/LT1172 can be externally synchronized in the frequency range of 12kHz to 16kHz. This is accomplished as shown in the accompanying figures. Synchronizing occurs when the pin is pulled to ground with an external transistor. To avoid disturbing the DC characteristics of the internal error amplifier, the width of the synchronizing pulse should be under.3µs. sets the pulse width at.2µs. The effect of a synchronizing pulse on the LT117/LT1171/LT1172 amplifier offset can be calculated from: ( )( ) KT V t f I C S S q C VOS = IC KT = 26mV at 25 C q t S = pulse width f S = pulse frequency I C = source current ( 2µA) = operating voltage (1V to 2V) = resistor used to set mid-frequency zero in frequency compensation network. With t S =.2µs, f S = 15kHz, = 1.5V, and = 2k, offset voltage shift is 3.8mV. This is not particularly bothersome, but note that high offsets could result if were reduced to a much lower value. Also, the synchronizing transistor must sink higher currents with low values of, so larger drives may have to be used. The transistor must be capable of pulling the pin to within 2mV of ground to ensure synchronizing.
