  A Monolithic Switching Regulator with 100ВµV Output Noise
  “Silence is the perfectest herald of joy .”
  Jim Williams INTRODUCTION
  Size, output flexibility and efficiency advantages have
  made switching regulators common in electronic apparatus. The continued emphasis on these attributes has
  resulted in circuitry with 95% efficiency that requires
  minimal board area. Although these advantages are welcome, they necessitate compromising other parameters. back to the driving source (“reflected” noise) and it is
  radiated. The multiple transmission paths combine with
  the high frequency content to make noise suppression
  difficult. Unconscionable amounts of bypass capacitors,
  ferrite beads, shields, Mu-metal and aspirin have been
  expended in attempts to ameliorate noise-induced effects. Switching Regulator “Noise”
  Something commonly referred to as “noise” is a primary
  concern. The switched mode power delivery that permits
  the aforementioned advantages also creates wideband
  harmonic energy. This undesirable energy appears as
  radiated and conducted components commonly labeled
  as “noise.” Actually, switching regulator output “noise” is
  not really noise at all, but coherent, high frequency residue
  directly related to the regulatorвЂ^TMs switching.1 Figure 1
  shows typical switching regulator output noise. Two distinct characteristics are present. The slow, ramping output …

  Designs From a Once Lazy Sabbatical
  Jim Williams
  Introduction
  Linear Technology has a sabbatical program. Every five
  years employees are granted sabbatical leave, which may
  last up to six weeks. You have 18 months from each five
  year employment anniversary to take the leave. Sabbatical
  is fully company paid and has no restrictions. The time is
  yours to do with as you please.
  People exercise all degrees of freedom with their sabbaticals. They go sailing, they go to South Sea islands, they ski
  some mountain nobody ever heard of, they trek in Nepal.
  Houses get fixed, cars restored and children played with.
  For my third sabbatical I resolved to do absolutely nothing.
  For the first time in my life I was really tired, and I knew it.
  A six week rest sounded just fine. I’d walk the dog and
  spend time with my wife and son. That’s it. No transistors,
  no resistors, no op amps and, above all, no writing. I was
  so written out the thought of picking up a pencil produced
  an instant headache. …

  Current Sources for Fiber Optic Lasers
  A Compendium of Pleasant Current Events
  Jim Williams, Linear Technology Corporation
  INTRODUCTION
  A large group of fiber optic lasers are powered by DC
  current. Laser drive is supplied by a current source with
  modulation added further along the signal path. The
  current source, although conceptually simple, constitutes
  an extraordinarily tricky design problem. There are a
  number of practical requirements for a fiber optic current
  source and failure to consider them can cause laser and/
  or optical component destruction. Protection features must be included to prevent laser and
  optical component damage. The laser, an expensive and
  delicate device, must be protected under all conditions,
  including supply ramp up and down, improper control
  input commands, open or intermittent load connections
  and “hot plugging.”
  Detailed Discussion of Performance Issues Design Criteria for Fiber Optic Laser Current Sources It is useful to expand on the above cursory discussion to
  clarify design goals. As such, each previously called out
  issue is treated in greater detail below. Figure 1 shows a conceptual laser current source. Inputs
  include a current output programming port, an output …

  Single IC, Power Factor Corrected, Off-Line Supply &mdash DN143

  advertisement Single IC, Power Factor Corrected, Off-Line Supply
  Design Note 143
  Kurk Mathews
  An ever increasing number of off-line power supplies now
  include power factor correction (PFC) in order to reduce
  input current and meet future regulatory requirements.
  Switching power supplies that incorporate a bridge rectifier followed by bulk capacitance create harmonic currents. These harmonics only increase the supply’s RMS
  input current, while contributing nothing to real power.
  The typical solution to this problem has been to add a PFC
  preregulator and a separate controller to an existing
  design.
  The LTВ®1508 (voltage mode) and LT1509 (current mode)
  eliminate the need for separate controllers by combining
  the PFC and a pulse width modulator (PWM) function in a
  single 20-pin IC. PFC is achieved by programming the
  input current of a boost regulator to follow the input line
  voltage. This results in a near-unity power factor compared
  to 0.5 to 0.7 for a typical capacitive input switcher. Linear’s
  unique architecture maintains 0.99 power factor over a
  20:1 load range. Figure 1 shows input current with output
  powers of 30W, 150W and 300W.
  A number of issues associated with a 2-IC approach are
  addressed within the LT1508 and LT1509, resulting in a 2A/DIV 5ms/DIV DN143 F01 Figure 1. Input Current at 30W, 150W and 300W 12/96/143 lower part count and improved PC board layout. Start-up is …

  advertisement Off-Line Low Noise Power Supply Does Not Require Filtering
  to Meet FCC Emission Requirements – Design Note 175
  Jim Williams
  Introduction
  Off-line power supplies require input п¬Ѓltering components to meet FCC emission requirements. Additionally, board layout is usually quite critical, requiring
  considerable experimentation even for experienced
  off-line supply designers. These considerations derive
  from the wideband harmonic energy generated by the fast switching of traditional off-line supplies. A new
  device, the LTВ®1533 low noise switching regulator,
  eliminates these issues by continuous, closed-loop
  control of voltage and current switching times.1 Additionally, the device’s push-pull output drive eliminates the flyback interval of conventional approaches.
  This further reduces harmonics and smooths input

  pack can be used to power a 5V notebook computer
  system. Inexpensive N-channel power MOSFETs have
  very low on resistance and can be used to switch power
  with low voltage drop between the battery pack and the
  5V logic circuits. The new LTC В®1155 dual power MOSFET driver delivers
  12V of gate drive to two N-channel power MOSFETs
  when powered from a 5V supply with no external
  components required. This ability, coupled with its
  micropower current demands and protection features,
  makes it an excellent choice for high side switching
  applications which previously required more expensive
  P-channel MOSFETs. Figure 1 shows how a battery charger and an extremely
  low voltage drop 5V regulator can be built using the
  new LTC1155 and three inexpensive power MOSFETs. A notebook computer power supply system is a good
  example of an application which benefits directly from
  this high side driving scheme. A 4-cell, Ni-Cad battery L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks

  DESIGN IDEAS Synchronous, Phase Modulated, Full
  Bridge Converter Targets Isolated High
  by Kurk Mathews
  Power Applications
  Introduction In networking and telecom equipment,
  power supplies provide isolated low
  voltage outputs from the 48V input
  supply rail, with the added requirements of high efficiency (to reduce
  heat dissipation) and low component
  height. These requirements become
  even more difficult to meet with increased power levels, because of the
  corresponding component power dissipation and increased transformer
  size. Simple power supply topologies
  give way to more complex single and
  two-stage approaches that focus on
  transformer and semiconductor utilization.
  One such approach, the phase
  modulated full bridge converter, is a
  popular choice for high power supplies. Unfortunately, until now, there
  has not been a controller that offers
  both the flexibility in timing control
  and features (such as synchronous
  rectifier outputs) to manage a variety …
