The LT
®
1680 is a high power, current mode switching
power supply controller optimized for boost topologies.
The IC drives an N-channel MOSFET switch for DC/DC
converter applications up to 60V input. A high current gate
drive output handles up to 10,000pF gate capacitance,
enabling the construction of high power DC/DC convert-
ers. Current sense common mode range up to 60V allows
current sensing to be referenced to the input supply,
eliminating the need for sense blanking circuits.
The LT1680 incorporates programmable average current
limiting allowing accurate limiting of DC current in the
magnetics, independent of ripple current . User adjustable
slope compensation provides stable operation at duty
cycles up to 90%.
The LT1680 operating frequency is programmable and
can be synchronized up to 200kHz. Minimum off-time
operation provides switch protection. The IC also incorpo-
rates a soft start feature that is gated by both shutdown
and undervoltage lockout conditions.
