The LT®1372/LT1377 are monolithic high frequency
switching regulators. They can be operated in all standard
switching configurations including boost, buck, flyback,
forward, inverting and “Cuk.” A 1.5A high efficiency switch
is included on the die, along with all oscillator, control and
protection circuitry. All functions of the LT1372/LT1377
are integrated into 8-pin SO/PDIP packages.
The LT1372/LT1377 typically consumes only 4mA quiescent current and has higher efficiency than previous parts.
High frequency switching allows for very small inductors
to be used. All surface mount components consume less
than 0.5 square inch of board space.
New design techniques increase flexibility and maintain
ease of use. Switching is easily synchronized to an external logic level source. A logic low on the shutdown pin
reduces supply current to 12µA. Unique error amplifier
circuitry can regulate positive or negative output voltage
while maintaining simple frequency compensation techniques. Nonlinear error amplifier transconductance reduces output overshoot on start-up or overload recovery.
Oscillator frequency shifting protects external components during overload conditions.
