Standby Power
The LT®1500 is an adaptive-frequency current mode stepup switching regulator with an internal power switch that
is rated up to 700mA. In contrast to pulse skipping
switching regulators, the LT1500 uses a current mode
topology that provides lower noise operation and improved efficiency. Only at very light loads is Burst Mode
TM
activated to give high efficiency and micropower operation. High switching frequency (up to 500kHz) allows very
small inductors to be used, along with ceramic capacitors
if desired.
The LT1500 operates with input voltages from 1.8V to 15V
and has only 200µ A operating current dropping to 8µA in
shutdown. A low-battery comparator is included which
stays alive in shutdown. A second output feedback pin
with negative polarity allows negative output voltages to
be regulated when the switcher is connected up as a Cuk
or a flyback converter.
Two package types are available. The LT1500 comes in a
14-pin SO package, with two options available for fixed
output (3.3V or 5V) or adjustable operation. A reduced
feature part, the LT1501, comes in the smaller 8-pin SO
package with internal frequency compensation. It is also
available in adjustable and fixed output voltage versions.

The ● denotes specifications which apply over the full operating
temperature range.
Note 1: Feedback pin or output is held sightly above the regulated value to
force the V
node low and switching to stop.
C
Note 2: See Typical Performance Characteristics for graph of Guaranteed
Switch Voltage vs Saturation Voltage.
Note 3: Peak switch current is the guaranteed minimum value of switch
current available in normal operation. Highest calculated switch current at
full load should not exceed the minimum value shown.
Note 4: Loading on FB pin will affect NFB reference voltage. ∆V
= IFB/gm.
NFB
Do not exceed 10µA loading on FB when NFB is being used.Note 5: This is the delay between sense pin current reaching its upper or
lower threshold and switch transition. Switch delay times cause peak-to-
W
U
peak inductor current to increase and therefore switching frequency to be
low. This effect will be significant for frequencies above 100kHz. See
Application Information and Typical Performance Characteristics.
Note 6: Reference voltage under all conditions includes V
all loads and full temperature range.
Note 7: As with all boost regulators the output voltage of the LT1500
cannot fall to less than input voltage because of the path through the catch
diode. This means that the output voltage divider on adjustable parts will
still be generating feedback voltage at the FB pin (fixed voltage parts have
an internal switch to disconnect the divider in shutdown). If the voltage on
FB is greater than 0.6V in shutdown, the internal error amplifier will draw
current that adds to shutdown current. See graph of Shutdown Current vs
FB voltage in Typical Performance Characteristics.
