LTC1530

COMP to compensate the feedback loop for optimum

transient response. To shut down the LTC1530, pull this

pin below 0.1V with an open-collector or open-drain

transistor. Supply current is typically reduced to 45

µA in

shutdown. An internal 4

µA pullup ensures start-up.

IMAX (Pin 5): Current Limit Threshold. Current limit is set

by the voltage drop across an external resistor connected

between the drain of Q1 and IMAX. This voltage is com-

pared with the voltage across the RDS(ON) of the high side

MOSFET. The LTC1530 contains a 200

µA internal pull-

down at IMAX to set current limit. This 200µA current

source has a positive temperature coefficient to provide

first order correction for the temperature coefficient of the

external N-channel MOSFET’s RDS(ON).

IFB (Pin 6): Current Limit Sense Pin. Connect IFB to the

switching node between Q1’s source and Q2’s drain. If IFB

drops below IMAX with G1 on, the LTC1530 enters current

limit. Under this condition, the internal soft-start capacitor

is discharged and COMP is pulled low slowly. Duty cycle

is reduced and output power is limited. The current limit

circuitry is only activated if PVCC ≥ 8V. This action eases

start-up considerations as PVCC is ramping up because

the MOSFET’s RDS(ON) can be significantly higher than

what is measured under normal operating conditions. The

current limit circuit is disabled by floating IMAX and short-

ing IFB to PVCC.

G2 (Pin 7): Gate Drive for the Low Side N-Channel MOSFET,

Q2. This output swings from PVCC to GND. It is always low

if G1 is high or if the output is disabled. To prevent

undershoot during a soft-start cycle, G2 is held low until

G1 first transitions high.

G1 (Pin 8): Gate Drive for the Topside N-Channel MOSFET,

Q1. This output swings from PVCC to GND. It is always low

if G2 is high or if the output is disabled.

PVCC (Pin 1): Power Supply for G1, G2 and Logic. PVCC

must connect to a potential of at least VIN + VGS(ON)Q1. If

VIN = 5V, generate PVCC using a simple charge pump

connected to the switching node between Q1 and Q2 (see

Figure 1) or connect PVCC to a 12V supply. Bypass PVCC

properly or erratic operation will result. A low ESR 10

µF

capacitor or larger bypass capacitor along with a 0.1

µF

surface mount ceramic capacitor in parallel is recom-

mended from PVCC directly to GND to minimize switching

ripple. Switching ripple should be

≤100mV at the PVCC

pin.

GND (Pin 2): Power and Logic Ground. GND is connected

to the internal gate drive circuitry and the feedback cir-

cuitry. To obtain good output voltage regulation, use

proper ground techniques between the LTC1530 GND and

bottom-side FET source and the negative terminal of the

output capacitor. See the Applications Information section

for more details on PCB layout techniques.

VSENSE/VOUT (Pin 3): Feedback Voltage Pin. For the adjust-

able LTC1530, use an external resistor divider to set the

required output voltage. Connect the tap point of the

resistor divider network to VSENSE and the top of the

divider network to the output voltage. For fixed output

voltage versions of the LTC1530, the resistor divider is

internal and the top of the resistor divider network is

brought out to VOUT. In general, the resistor divider

network for each fixed output voltage version sinks ap-

proximately 30

µA. Connect VOUT to the output voltage

either at the output capacitors or at the actual point of load.

VSENSE/VOUT is sensitive to switching noise injected into

the pin. Isolate high current switching traces from this pin

and its PCB trace.

COMP (Pin 4): External Compensation. The COMP pin is

connected to the error amplifier output and the input of the

PWM comparator. An RC + C network is typically used at

PI FU CTIO S
