Figure 4. Setting Output Voltage
Low Supply Operation
Although the controller can function down to approxi-
mately 2.0V, the maximum allowable output current is
reduced when V
IN
decreases below 3V. Figure 3 shows the
amount of change as the supply is reduced down to 2V.
Also shown in Figure 3 is the effect of V
IN
on V
REF
as V
IN
goes below 2.3V.
Setting Output Voltage
The controller develops a 0.8V reference voltage between
the feedback (V
FB
) terminal and ground (see Figure 4). By
selecting resistor R1, a constant current is caused to flow
through R1 and R2 to set the overall output voltage. The
regulated output voltage is determined by:
VV
R

.
For most applications, an 80k resistor is suggested for R1.
To prevent stray pickup, locate resistors R1 and R2 close
to the LTC1874.
Foldback Current Limiting
As described in the Output Diode Selection, the worst-
case dissipation occurs with a short-circuited output
when the diode conducts the current limit value almost
continuously. To prevent excessive heating in the diode,
foldback current limiting can be added to reduce the
current in proportion to the severity of the fault.
Foldback current limiting is implemented by adding di-
odes D
FB1
and D
FB2
between the output and the I
TH
/RUN
pin as shown in Figure 5. In a hard short (V
OUT
= 0V), the
current will be reduced to approximately 50% of the
maximum output current.

PC Board Layout Checklist
When laying out the printed circuit board, the following
checklist should be used to ensure proper operation of the
LTC1874. These items are illustrated graphically for a
single controller in the layout diagram in Figure 6. Check
the following in your layout:
1. Is the Schottky diode closely connected between power
ground (PGND) and the drain of the external MOSFET?
2. Does the (+) plate of C
IN
connect to the sense resistor
as closely as possible? This capacitor provides AC
current to the MOSFET.
3. Is the input decoupling capacitor (0.1µF) connected
closely between V
IN
and signal ground (GND)?
4. Connect the end of R
SENSE
as close to V
IN
as possible.
The V
IN
pin is the SENSE
+
of the current comparator.
5. Is the trace from SENSE
to the SENSE resistor kept
short? Does the trace connect close to R
SENSE
?
6. Keep the switching node PGATE away from sensitive
small signal nodes.
7. Does the V
FB
pin connect directly to the feedback
resistors? The resistive divider R1 and R2 must be
connected between the (+) plate of C
OUT
and signal
ground.
8. PV
IN
must connect to V
IN
and PGND must connect to
GND. Isolate high current power paths from signal
power and signal ground where possible in the layout.
An unbroken ground plane is recommended.
