TYPICAL APPLICATION
U
The LTC
®
1624 is a current mode switching regulator
controller that drives an external N-channel power MOSFET
using a fixed frequency architecture. It can be operated in
all standard switching configurations including boost,
step-down, inverting and SEPIC. Burst Mode
TM
operation
provides high efficiency at low load currents. A maximum
high duty cycle limit of 95% provides low dropout operation
which extends operating time in battery-operated systems.
The operating frequency is internally set to 200kHz, allowing
small inductor values and minimizing PC board space. The
operating current level is user-programmable via an external
current sense resistor. Wide input supply range allows
operation from 3.5V to 36V (absolute maximum).
A multifunction pin (I
TH
/RUN) allows external
compensation for optimum load step response plus
shutdown. Soft start can also be implemented with the
I
TH
/RUN pin to properly sequence supplies.

to
the midpoint for the error amplifier (V

= 1.8V).
Note 3: Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency. See Applications Information.
