NO DESIGN SWITCHER
This demonstration circuit is a step-down (buck) regulator
using the high voltage LTC
®
1174. Exclusive use of
surface mount components results in a highly efficient
application in a small board space. This demo board
highlights the simplicity of the LTC1174 in stepping down
input voltages ranging between 4V to 16.5V. The LTC1174
is a current mode DC/DC converter, thus the peak inductor
current is well-defined and provides excellent transient
response. To optimize efficiency, the LTC1174 automati-
cally switches between continuous and Burst Mode
TM
operation. To further optimize the LTC1174 for a wide
range of applications, the maximum inductor current is
pin selectable to either 340mA or 600mA. The part can also
be shut down, drawing a mere 1µA, making this part ideal
for current sensitive applications. An onboard low battery
detector allows the user to monitor the input supply
through an external resistive divider. This divided voltage
is compared with an internal 1.25V reference voltage.
Gerber files for this circuit board are available. Call the
LTC factory.

QUICK START GUIDE
This demonstration board is simple to use. Just follow
the steps outlined below and you are ready to start your
evaluation of the LTC1174.
Connect your power supply between the V
IN
terminal
and GND terminal.
Connect the SHDN pin to a voltage greater than 1.2V
for the part to be active. This pin can also be shorted
to V
IN
pin. DO NOT FLOAT THIS PIN AS THIS MAY
RESULT IN INTERMITTENT OPERATION OF THE
PART.
Connect the I
PGM
pin either to GND or V
IN
depending
upon the amount of current you want to source from
the part. Again, DO NOT FLOAT THIS PIN.
The LB
OUT
pin is a current sinking pin. When the LB
IN
pin goes below 1.25V, the LB
OUT
pin will sink 1mA
of current.
The LB
IN
pin is the low battery detector input pin.
Normally, its input comes from the input voltage
through a resistor divider network (see Low Battery
Detector section).
The circuit shown in Figure 1 operates between input
voltages of 4V and 16.5V. For the regular fixed 3.3V or
5V version, the external components are the same except
for U1. For the low noise demonstration circuit, it
requires an adjustable version for U1 and an additional
passive network.
This demonstration unit is intended for the evaluation of
the LTC1174 switching regulator IC and was not designed
for any other purpose.
OPERATION
The LTC1174 uses a constant off-time architecture to
switch its internal P-channel power MOSFET. The off-time
is set by an internal timing capacitor and the operating
frequency is a function of V
IN
.
The output voltage is set by an internal resistive divider.
A voltage comparator (A1) compares the divided output
voltage to a reference voltage of 1.25V.
