1572 is a 1.25A 100kHz monolithic switching
regulator with on-board switch and catch diode included
in one package. It combines an LT1172 with a 1A Schottky
catch diode. The LT1572 can be operated in all standard
switching configurations, including boost, buck, SEPIC,
flyback, forward, inverting and 鈥淐uk鈥? All necessary con-
trol, oscillator and protection circuitry is included on the
die with the high efficiency switch. This makes the part
extremely easy to use and provides 鈥渂ustproof鈥?operation
similar to that obtained with 3-pin linear regulators.
The LT1572 operates with supply voltages from 3V to 30V
and draws only 6mA quiescent current. It can deliver load
power up to 15W with no external power devices. By
utilizing a current mode switching technique, the LT1572
achieves excellent response to load and line transients.
The LT1572 has many unique features not found on the
more difficult to use control chips presently available. It
uses adaptive anti-sat switch drive to allow very wide
ranging load currents with no loss in efficiency. An exter-
nally activated shutdown mode reduces total supply cur-
rent to 50碌A typical for standby operation. External syn-
chronizing of switching frequency is possible, with a range
of 120kHz to 160kHz.
