type TPS from AVX, or type 595D from Sprague. These

have an ESR of 0.06

Ω in a “E” case size. At lower output

current levels, a 100

µF unit in a “D” case size may be

sufficient. Output ripple voltage can be calculated from:

Loop frequency stability is affected by the characteristics

of the output capacitor. The ESR of the capacitor should be

very low, and the capacitance must be large (> 200

µF) to

ensure good loop stability under worst-case conditions of

low input voltage, higher output voltages, and high load

currents. The 14-pin LT1500 can use external frequency

compensation on the VC pin to give good loop stability with

smaller output capacitors. See Loop Stability section for

details.

Precautions regarding solid tantalum capacitors for input

bypassing do not apply to the output capacitor because

turn-on surges are limited by the inductor and discharge

surges do not harm the capacitors.

Setting Output Voltage

Preset 3.3V and 5V parts are available. For other voltage

applications the adjustable part uses an external resistor

divider to set output voltage. Bias current for the feedback

(FB) pin is typically

±30nA (it is internally compensated).

Thevenin divider resistance should be 100k

Ω or less to

keep bias current errors to a minimum. This leads to a

value for R1 and R2 (see Figure 1) of:

Note that there is an internal switch that disconnects the

internal divider for fixed 3.3V and 5V parts in shutdown.

This prevents the divider from adding to shutdown cur-

rent. Without this switch, shutdown current increases

because of the divider current directly, but even more so

if the FB pin is held above 0.6V by the divider. See graphs

in Typical Performance Characteristics.

Selectable Output (Fixed Voltage Parts)

The Select pin (available only on LT1500-3/5) allows the

user to select either a 3.3V or 5V output. Floating the pin

sets output voltage at 3.3V and grounding the pin sets

output voltage at 5V. The equivalent circuit of the Select

pin function is shown in Figure 2.

Note that there is a switch in series with the VOUT pin. This

switch is turned off in shutdown to eliminate shutdown
