PIN FUNCTIONS
UUU
V
C
: The Compensation pin is used for frequency compen-
sation, current limiting and soft start. It is the output of the
error amplifier and the input of the current comparator.
Loop frequency compensation can be performed with an
RC network connected from the V
C
pin to ground.
FB: T
he Feedback pin is used for positive output voltage
sensing and oscillator frequency shifting. It is the invert-
ing input to the error amplifier. The noninverting input of
this amplifier is internally tied to a 1.245V reference. Load
on the FB pin should not exceed 250µA when NFB pin is
used. See Applications Information.
NFB: The Negative Feedback pin is used for negative
output voltage sensing. It is connected to the inverting
input of the negative feedback amplifier through a 100k
source resistor.
S/S (R and T7 Packages Only): Shutdown and Synchroni-
zation Pin. The S/S pin is logic level compatible. Shutdown
is active low and the shutdown threshold is typically 1.3V.
For normal operation, pull the S/S pin high, tie it to V
IN
or
leave it floating. To synchronize switching, drive the S/S
pin between 600kHz and 800kHz.
SHDN: (SW Package Only): The Shutdown pin is active
low and the shutdown threshold is typically 1.3V. For
normal operation, pull the SHDN pin high, tie it to V
IN
or
leave it floating.
SYNC (SW Package Only): To synchronize switching,
drive the SYNC pin between 600kHz and 800kHz. If not
used, the SYNC pin can be tied high, low or left floating.
V
IN
: Bypass Input Supply pin with a low ESR capacitor,
10µF or more. The regulator goes into undervoltage lock-
out when V
IN
drops below 2.5V. Undervoltage lockout
stops switching and pulls the V
C
pin low.
V
SW
: The Switch pin is the collector of the power switch
and has large currents flowing through it. Keep the traces
to the switching components as short as possible to
minimize radiation and voltage spikes.
GND: Tie all Ground pins to a good quality ground plane.

OPERATION
U
The LT1371 is a current mode switcher. This means that
switch duty cycle is directly controlled by switch current
rather than by output voltage. Referring to the block
diagram, the switch is turned ON at the start of each
oscillator cycle. It is turned OFF when switch current
reaches a predetermined level. Control of output voltage is
obtained by using the output of a voltage sensing error
amplifier to set current trip level. This technique has
several advantages. First, it has immediate response to
input voltage variations, unlike voltage mode switchers
which have notoriously poor line transient response.
Second, it reduces the 90° phase shift at mid-frequencies
in the energy storage inductor. This greatly simplifies
closed-loop frequency compensation under widely vary-
ing input voltage or output load conditions. Finally, it
allows simple pulse-by-pulse current limiting to provide
maximum switch protection under output overload or
short conditions. A low dropout internal regulator pro-
vides a 2.3V supply for all internal circuitry. This low
dropout design allows input voltage to vary from 2.7V to
25V with virtually no change in device performance. A
500kHz oscillator is the basic clock for all internal timing.
It turns ON the output switch via the logic and driver
circuitry. Special adaptive anti-sat circuitry detects onset
of saturation in the power switch and adjusts driver
current instantaneously to limit switch saturation. This
minimizes driver dissipation and provides very rapid turn-
off of the switch.
A 1.245V bandgap reference biases the positive input of
the error amplifier. The negative input of the amplifier is
brought out for positive output voltage sensing. The error
amplifier has nonlinear transconductance to reduce out-
put overshoot on start-up or overload recovery. When
the feedback voltage exceeds the reference by 40mV,
error amplifier transconductance increases 10 times,
which reduces output overshoot. The feedback input also
invokes oscillator frequency shifting, which helps pro-
tect components during overload conditions. When the
feedback voltage drops below 0.6V, the oscillator fre-
quency is reduced 5:1. Lower switching frequency allows
full control of switch current limit by reducing minimum
switch duty cycle.
