LTC1041 BANG-BANG Controller UFEATURESDESCRIPTIO ■ Micropower 1.5µW (1 Sample/Second) The LTC®1041 is a monolithic CMOS BANG-BANG ■ Wide Supply Range 2.8V to 16V controller manufactured using Linear Technology’s ■ High Accuracy enhanced LTCMOS™ silicon gate process. BANG-BANG Guaranteed SET POINT Error ±0.5mV Max loops are characterized by turning the control element fully ON or fully OFF to regulate the average value of Guaranteed Deadband ±0.1% of Value Max the parameter to be controlled. The SET POINT input ■ Wide Input Voltage Range V+ to Ground determines the average control value and the DELTA input ■ TTL Outputs with 5V Supply sets the deadband. The deadband is always 2 x DELTA and ■ Two Independent Ground-Referred Control Inputs is centered around the SET POINT. Independent control ■ Small Size 8-Pin SO of the SET POINT and deadband, with no interaction, is made possible by the unique sampling input structure of U the LTC1041. APPLICATIO S An external RC connected to the OSC pin sets the sampling ■ rate. At the start of each sample, internal power to the Temperature Control (Thermostats) ■ analog section is switched on for ≈ 80µs.

To keep system power at an absolute minimum, a switched power output (VP-P) is provided. External loads, such as bridge networks and resistive dividers, can be driven by this switched output. The output logic sense (i.e., ON = V+) can be reversed (i.e., ON = GND) by interchanging the VIN and SET POINT inputs. This has no other effect on the operation of the LTC1041.
