LTC1871 Wide Input Range, No RSENSE™ Current Mode Boost, Flyback and SEPIC Controller FEATURESDESCRIPTION n High Effi ciency (No Sense Resistor Required) The LTC®1871 is a wide input range, current mode, boost, n Wide Input Voltage Range: 2.5V to 36V fl yback or SEPIC controller that drives an N-channel power n Current Mode Control Provides Excellent MOSFET and requires very few external components. In- TransientResponse tended for low to medium power applications, it eliminates n High Maximum Duty Cycle (92% Typ) the need for a current sense resistor by utilizing the power n ±2% RUN Pin Threshold with 100mV Hysteresis MOSFET’s on-resistance, thereby maximizing effi ciency. n ±1% Internal Voltage Reference The IC’s operating frequency can be set with an external n Micropower Shutdown: IQ = 10μA resistor over a 50kHz to 1MHz range, and can be syn- n Programmable Operating Frequency chronized to an external clock using the MODE/SYNC (50kHz to 1MHz) with One External Resistor pin. Burst Mode operation at light loads, a low minimum n Synchronizable to an External Clock Up to 1.3 × fOSC operating supply voltage of 2.5V and a low shutdown n User-Controlled Pulse Skip or Burst Mode® Operation quiescent current of 10μA make the LTC1871 ideally suited n Internal 5.2V Low Dropout Voltage Regulator for battery-operated systems. n Output Overvoltage Protection n Capable of Operating with a Sense Resistor for For applications requiring constant frequency opera- High Output Voltage Applications tion, Burst Mode operation can be defeated using the n Small 10-Lead MSOP Package MODE/SYNC pin. Higher output voltage boost, SEPIC and fl yback applications are possible with the LTC1871 APPLICATIONS by connecting the SENSE pin to a resistor in the source of the power MOSFET. n Telecom Power Supplies The LTC1871 is available in the 10-lead MSOP package. n Portable Electronic Equipment L, LT, LTC, LTM and Burst Mode are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
