with all the necessary oscillator, control and logic cir-
cuitry. High switching frequency allows a considerable
reduction in the size of external components. The topology
is current mode for fast transient response and good loop
stability. Both fixed output voltage (3.3V) and adjustable
parts are available.
A special high speed bipolar process and new design
techniques allow this regulator to achieve high efficiency
at a high switching frequency. Efficiency is maintained
over a wide output current range by keeping quiescent
supply current to 4mA and by utilizing a supply boost
capacitor to allow the NPN power switch to saturate. A
shutdown signal will reduce supply current to 20µA. The
LT1507 can be externally synchronized from 570kHz to
1MHz with logic level inputs.
The LT1507 fits into standard 8-pin SO and PDIP pack-
ages. Temperature rise is kept to a minimum by the high
efficiency design. Full cycle-by-cycle short-circuit protec-
tion and thermal shutdown are provided. Standard surface
mount external parts are used including the inductor and
capacitors.

1507 is a 500kHz monolithic buck mode switching
regulator, functionally identical to the LT1375 but opti-
mized for lower input voltage applications. It will operate
over a 4V to 15V input range, compared with 5.5V to 25V

The
denotes specifications which apply over the operating temperature
range.
Note 1: Gain is measured with a V
C
swing equal to 200mV above the low
clamp level to 200mV below the upper clamp level.
Note 2: Minimum input voltage is not measured directly, but is guaranteed
by other tests. It is defined as the voltage where internal bias lines are still
regulated, so that the reference voltage and oscillator frequency remain
constant. Actual minimum input voltage to maintain a regulated output will
depend on output voltage and load current. See Applications Information.
Note 3: This is the minimum voltage across the boost capacitor needed to
guarantee full saturation of the internal power switch.
Note 4: Boost current is the current flowing into the BOOST pin with the
pin held 5V above input voltage. It flows only during switch ON time.
Note 5: Input supply current is the bias current drawn by the V
IN
pin when
the SHDN pin is held at 1V (switching disabled).
Note 6: Switch ON resistance is calculated by dividing V
IN
to V
SW
voltage
by the forced current (1.5A). See Typical Performance Characteristics for
the graph of switch voltage at other currents.
Note 7: For synchronizing frequency above 700kHz, with duty cycles
above 50%, external slope compensation may be needed. See Applications
Information.
Note 8: Transconductance and voltage gain refer to the internal amplifier
exclusive of the voltage divider. To calculate gain and transconductance
refer to SENSE pin on fixed voltage parts. Divide values shown by the ratio
