rating, may be required. High performance tantalum or

electrolytic capacitors can be used for the output capacitor.

Low ESR is important, so choose one that is intended for

use in switching regulators. The ESR should be speci-

ﬁed by the supplier, and should be 0.05 or less. Such a

capacitor will be larger than a ceramic capacitor and will

have a larger capacitance, because the capacitor must be

large to achieve low ESR. Table 2 lists several capacitor

vendors.

Catch Diode

The catch diode conducts current only during switch off

time. Average forward current in normal operation can

be calculated from:

ID(AVG) = IOUT (VIN – VOUT)/VIN

where IOUT is the output load current. The only reason to

consider a diode with a larger current rating than necessary

for nominal operation is for the worst-case condition of

shorted output. The diode current will then increase to the

typical peak switch current. Peak reverse voltage is equal

to the regulator input voltage. Use a schottky diode with a

reverse voltage rating greater than the input voltage. Table

3 lists several Schottky diodes and their manufacturers.

Frequency Compensation

The LT1913 uses current mode control to regulate the

output. This simpliﬁes loop compensation. In particular, the

LT1913 does not require the ESR of the output capacitor

for stability, so you are free to use ceramic capacitors to

achieve low output ripple and small circuit size. Frequency

compensation is provided by the components tied to the
