lt1173 5 the lt1173 is a gated oscillator switcher. this type archi- tecture has very low supply current because the switch is cycled only when the feedback pin voltage drops below the reference voltage. circuit operation can best be under- stood by referring to the lt1173 block diagram. compara- tor a1 compares the feedback pin voltage with the 1.245v reference voltage. when feedback drops below 1.245v, a1 switches on the 24khz oscillator. the driver amplifier boosts the signal level to drive the output npn power switch. an adaptive base drive circuit senses switch current and provides just enough base drive to ensure switch saturation without overdriving the switch, resulting in higher efficiency. the switch cycling action raises the output voltage and feedback pin voltage. when the feed- back voltage is sufficient to trip a1, the oscillator is gated off. a small amount of hysteresis built into a1 ensures loop stability without external frequency compensation. when the comparator is low the oscillator and all high current circuitry is turned off, lowering device quiescent current to just 110 m a, for the reference, a1 and a2. the oscillator is set internally for 23 m s on time and 19 m s off time, optimizing the device for circuits where v out and v in differ by roughly a factor of 2. examples include a 3v to 5v step-up converter or a 9v to 5v step-down converter. u lt1173 oper o at i a2 is a versatile gain block that can serve as a low battery detector, a linear post regulator, or drive an under voltage lockout circuit. the negative input of a2 is internally connected to the 1.245v reference. a resistor divider from v in to gnd, with the mid-point connected to the set pin provides the trip voltage in a low battery detector applica- tion. the gain block output (ao) can sink 100 m a (use a 47k resistor pull-up to + 5v). this line can signal a microcon- troller that the battery voltage has dropped below the preset level. a resistor connected between the i lim pin and v in sets maximum switch current. when the switch current ex- ceeds the set value, the switch cycle is prematurely terminated. if current limit is not used, i lim should be tied directly to v in . propagation delay through the current limit circuitry is approximately 2 m s. in step-up mode the switch emitter (sw2) is connected to ground and the switch collector (sw1) drives the induc- tor; in step-down mode the collector is connected to v in and the emitter drives the inductor. the lt1173-5 and lt1173-12 are functionally identical to the lt1173. the -5 and -12 versions have on-chip voltage setting resistors for fixed 5v or 12v outputs. pin 8 on the fixed versions should be connected to the output. no external resistors are needed. u s a o pp l ic at i wu u i for atio measuring input current at zero or light load obtaining meaningful numbers for quiescent current and efficiency at low output current involves understanding how the lt1173 operates. at very low or zero load current, the device is idling for seconds at a time. when the output voltage falls enough to trip the comparator, the power switch comes on for a few cycles until the output voltage rises sufficiently to overcome the comparator hysteresis. when the power switch is on, inductor current builds up to hundreds of milliamperes. ordinary digital multimeters are not capable of measuring average current because of bandwidth and dynamic range limitations. a different approach is required to measure the 100 m a off-state and 500ma on-state currents of the circuit. quiescent current can be accurately measured using the circuit in figure 1. v set is set to the input voltage of the lt1173. the circuit must be booted by shorting v2 to v set . after the lt1173 output voltage has settled, discon- nect the short. input voltage is v2, and average input current can be calculated by this formula: i vv in = - () 21 100 01 w

() ? ? 104 where r' is the sum of the switch equivalent resistance (0.8 w typical at 25 c) and the inductor dc resistance. when the drop across the switch is small compared to v in , the simple lossless equation it v l t l in () = () 05 can be used. these equations assume that at t = 0, inductor current is zero. this situation is called discon- tinuous mode operation in switching regulator parlance. setting t to the switch on time from the lt1173 speci- fication table (typically 23 m s) will yield i peak for a specific l and v in . once i peak is known, energy in the inductor at the end of the switch on time can be calculated as eli l peak = () 1 2 06 2 e l must be greater than p l /f osc for the converter to deliver the required power. for best efficiency i peak should be kept to 1a or less. higher switch currents will cause excessive drop across the switch resulting in reduced efficiency. in general, switch current should be held to as low a value as possible in order to keep switch, diode and inductor losses at a minimum.
lt1173 7 as an example, suppose 9v at 50ma is to be generated from a 3v input. recalling equation 02, p l = (9v + 0.5v C 3v) (50ma) = 325mw. (07) energy required from the inductor is p f mw khz j l osc == () 325 24 13 5 08 .. m picking an inductor value of 100 m h with 0.2 w dcr results in a peak switch current of i v ema peak s h = ? ? ? ? = () 3 1 1 616 09 123 100 w w . m m substituting i peak into equation 04 results in ehaj l = ()( ) = () 1 2 100 0 616 19 0 10 2 mm ... since 19 m j > 13.5 m j the 100 m h inductor will work. this trial-and-error approach can be used to select the opti- mum inductor. keep in mind the switch current maximum rating of 1.5a. if the calculated peak current exceeds this, consider using the lt1073. the 70% duty cycle of the lt1073 allows more energy per cycle to be stored in the inductor, resulting in more output power. an inductors energy storage capability is proportional to its physical size. if the size of the inductor is too large for a particular application, considerable size reduction is possible by using the lt1111. this device is pin compat- ible with the lt1173 but has a 72khz oscillator, thereby reducing inductor and capacitor size requirements by a factor of three. for both positive-to-negative (figure 7) and negative-to- positive configurations (figure 8), all the output power must be generated by the inductor. in these cases p l = ( ? v out ? + v d ) (i out ). (11) in the positive-to-negative case, switch drop can be mod- eled as a 0.75v voltage source in series with a 0.65 w resistor so that v l = v in C 0.75v C i l (0.65 w ). (12) in the negative-to-positive case, the switch saturates and the 0.8 w switch on resistance value given for equation 04 can be used. in both cases inductor design proceeds from equation 03. the step-down case is different than the preceeding three in that the inductor current flows through the load in a step-down topology (figure 6). current through the switch should be limited to ~650ma in step-down mode. this can be accomplished by using the i lim pin. with input voltages in the range of 12v to 25v, a 5v output at 300ma can be generated with a 220 m h inductor and 100 w resistor in series with the i lim pin. with a 20v to 30v input range, a 470 m h inductor should be used along with the 100 w resistor. capacitor selection selecting the right output capacitor is almost as important as selecting the right inductor. a poor choice for a filter capacitor can result in poor efficiency and/or high output ripple. ordinary aluminum electrolytics, while inexpensive and readily available, may have unacceptably poor equiva- lent series resistance (esr) and esl (inductance). there are low-esr aluminum capacitors on the market specifi- cally designed for switch mode dc-dc converters which work much better than general-purpose units. tantalum capacitors provide still better performance at more ex- pense. we recommend os-con capacitors from sanyo corporation (san diego, ca). these units are physically quite small and have extremely low esr. to illustrate, figures 2, 3, and 4 show the output voltage of an lt1173 based converter with three 100 m f capacitors. the peak switch current is 500ma in all cases. figure 2 shows a sprague 501d, 25v aluminum capacitor. v out jumps by over 120mv when the switch turns off, followed by a drop in voltage as the inductor dumps into the capacitor. this works out to be an esr of over 240m w . figure 3 shows the same circuit, but with a sprague 150d, 20v tantalum capacitor replacing the aluminum unit. output jump is now about 35mv, corresponding to an esr of 70m w . figure 4 shows the circuit with a 16v os-con unit. esr is now only 20m w . u s a o pp l ic at i wu u i for atio

(you can also use them to get your circuit up and running, but beware of destroying the diode at 1a switch currents.) in situations where the load is intermittent and the lt1173 is idling most of the time, battery life can sometimes be extended by using a silicon diode such as the 1n4933, which can handle 1a but has leakage current of less than 1 m a. efficiency will decrease somewhat compared to a 1n5818 while delivering power, but the lower idle current may be more important. step-up (boost mode) operation a step-up dc-dc converter delivers an output voltage higher than the input voltage. step-up converters are not short circuit protected since there is a dc path from input to output. the usual step-up configuration for the lt1173 is shown in figure 5. the lt1173 first pulls sw1 low causing v in C v cesat to appear across l1. a current then builds up in l1. at the end of the switch on time the current in l1 is 1 : i v l t pea k in on = () 13 l1 lt1173 ?ta10 gnd sw2 sw1 lim i in v d1 r3* lt1173 + v out r2 r1 c1 * = optional v in fb figure 5. step-up mode hookup. refer to table 1 for component values immediately after switch turn off, the sw1 voltage pin starts to rise because current cannot instantaneously stop flowing in l1. when the voltage reaches v out + v d , the inductor current flows through d1 into c1, increasing v out . this action is repeated as needed by the lt1173 to 5 s/div 50mv/div lt1173 ?ta09 m 5 s/div 50mv/div lt1173 ?ta07 m 5 s/div 50mv/div lt1173 ?ta08 m
