5V Output Buck Converter
Tapped Inductor Buck Converter with 4A Output
at 5V
Positive-to-Negative Converter
The LT1076-5 is a 2A fixed 5V output monolithic bipolar
switching regulator which requires only a few external
parts for normal operation. The power switch, all oscillator
and control circuitry, all current limit components, and an
output monitor are included on the chip. The topology is
a classic positive “buck” configuration but several design
innovations allow this device to be used as a positive-to-
negative converter, a negative boost converter, and as a
flyback converter. The switch output is specified to swing
40V below ground, allowing the LT1076-5 to drive a
tapped inductor in the buck mode with output currents up
to 4A.
The LT1076-5 uses a true analog multiplier in the feedback
loop. This makes the device respond nearly instanta-
neously to input voltage fluctuations and makes loop gain
independent of input voltage. As a result, dynamic behav-
ior of the regulator is significantly improved over previous
designs.
On-chip pulse by pulse current limiting makes the LT1076-
5 nearly bust-proof for output overloads or shorts. The
input voltage range as a buck converter is 8V to 60V, but
a self-boot feature allows input voltages as low as 5V in the
inverting and boost configurations.
The LT1076-5 is available in a low cost 5-lead TO-220
package with frequency pre-set at 100kHz and current
limit at 2.6A. See Application Note 44 for design details.

The
q
denotes specifications which apply over the full operating
temperature range.
Note 1:
To calculate maximum switch “on” voltage at currents between
low and high conditions, a linear interpolation may be used.
Note 2:
A sense pin voltage (V
SENSE
) of 5.5V forces the V
C
pin to its low
clamp level and the switch duty cycle to zero. This approximates the zero
load condition where duty cycle approaches zero.
Note 3:
Total voltage from V
IN
pin to ground pin must be
≥
8V after start-
up for proper regulation. For T
A
< 25°C, limit = 5V.
Note 4:
Switch frequency is internally scaled down when the sense pin
voltage is less than 2.6V to avoid extremely short switch on times. During
current limit testing, V
SENSE
is adjusted to give a minimum switch on time
of 1µs.
Note 5:
Switch to input voltage limitation must also be observed.
Note 6:
V
MAX
= 40V for the LT1076-5 and 60V for the LT1076HV-5.
Note 7:
Error amplifier voltage gain and transconductance are specified
relative to the internal feedback node. To calculate gain and
transconductance from the Sense pin (Output) to the V
C
pin, multiply by
0.44.
Note 8:
Does not include switch leakage.
