Note 1:
The reference voltage tolerance of the LT1371 is
±1.6%
over
temperature. Output voltage is a worst-case summation of R2, R3 and
reference tolerances, plus feedback input current times R3. For a tighter
output voltage range, use lower tolerance feedback resistors, or a fixed
voltage version of the LT1371 (consult Linear Technology Marketing).

Note 3:
Single inductor step-up converters have a direct path from the
input supply to the output, and therefore draw some supply current even
when the LT1371 is in shutdown. Shutdown supply current will also
increase with the addition of an output load. Applications are available that
remove this direct path and reduce shutdown supply current to 30µA
maximum, independent of loading.

OPERATIO
LT1371 Operation
The LT1371 is a monolithic, high frequency, current mode
switcher. The part can operate from an input supply range
of 2.7V to 25V (DC093A maximum V
IN
= 11V) and draws
only 4mA quiescent current. The on-chip current limited
power switch is guaranteed to 3A minimum switch current
with a 0.25Ω typical “on” resistance and a 35V minimum
breakdown voltage. Operating at a fixed frequency of
500kHz, switching can also be easily synchronized to a
higher frequency by driving the S/S pin with a logic level
source. Shutdown is activated by pulling the S/S pin below
0.6V, which reduces device supply current to 30µA maxi-
mum.
Under normal operating conditions, a 1.245V reference
voltage is developed at the Feedback pin. The output
voltage is set by R2 and R3, where V
OUT
= V
REF
(1 + R3/R2).
Although not used in this application, the part also has a
Negative Feedback pin (NFB) which can be used to set the
output voltage of positive-to-negative converters. When in
use, a –2.49V reference voltage is developed at the NFB pin.
The V
C
pin is the output of the error amplifier. During
normal regulator operation this pin sits at a voltage be-
tween 1V (low output current) and 1.9V (high output
current). Loop frequency compensation is also performed
at the V
C
pin via an RC network to ground.
COMPONENTS
Inductors
The inductor is a Sumida CD104-100MC, a 10µH unshielded
ferrite unit. It was selected for low cost and small physical
size. Similar units are available from other manufacturers.
An inductor with a closed magnetic path (i.e., an E-core or
toroid) may also be chosen to reduce the RFI/EMI of the
circuit.
Capacitors (and Input/Output Ripple Voltage)
The capacitors on this board are low ESR (Effective Series
Resistance) tantalum units specifically designed for switch-
mode power supply applications. At these high frequen-
cies, input and output ripple voltages are more a function
of the ESR of the capacitor than of the capacitance value.
For example, at 500kHz a 22µF capacitor has a capacitive
U
reactance of only 0.014Ω, which is much lower than the
limiting 0.2Ω maximum ESR of the capacitors used.
Therefore, if a reduction in input or output ripple voltage is
required, use two or more capacitors in parallel instead of
a larger value capacitor. If very low output ripple voltage is
needed, adding an output LC filter may be a cheaper
solution. The output contains very narrow voltage spikes
because of the parasitic inductance of the output capaci-
tor. Due to their high frequency nature, the amplitude of
the spikes is determined by the ESL (Effective Series
Inductance) of the output capacitor. But this also makes
them easy to filter. Small 0.1µF ceramic chip capacitors work
well in reducing the spikes, and if the traces connecting to the
load are a few inches or more, the parasitic inductance of the
traces combined with any local load bypass capacitor will
virtually eliminate the spikes at the load.
Diodes
Use diodes designed for switching applications with ad-
equate current rating and fast turn-on times, such as
Schottky or ultra-fast diodes. In selecting a diode, the
basic parameters of interest are forward voltage, maxi-
mum reverse voltage, average operating current and peak
current. Lower forward voltage yields higher circuit effi-
ciency and lower power dissipation in the diode. The
worst-case reverse voltage is equal to the output voltage.
The average diode current will be equal to the output
current, but the peak diode current can be many times
higher than the output current. Except for output short
conditions, peak diode current is limited to the switch
current limit of 4.8A maximum.
Thermal Considerations
Care should be taken to ensure that the worst-case input
voltage and load current conditions do not cause exces-
sive die temperatures. Please consult the LT1371 data
sheet or Linear Technology’s SwitcherCAD software for
more information.
PCB Layout
In many cases, the circuit area traces of the demonstration
board may be dropped directly into your PCB layout. If not,
there are a few things to be aware of with high frequency
converter layouts. Keep the traces connecting the Switch
