LT1950
Single Switch PWM
Controller with Auxiliary
Boost Converter
DESCRIPTIO
The LT
®
1950 is a wide input range, forward, boost, flyback
and SEPIC controller that drives an N-channel power
MOSFET with few external components required.
A resistor programmable duty cycle clamp can be used to
generate a volt-second clamp for forward converter appli-
cations. An internal boost switcher is available for creating
a separate supply for the output gate driver, allowing 10V
gate drive from input voltages as low as 3V. The LT1950’s
operating frequency can be set with an external resistor
over a 100kHz to 500kHz range and a SYNC pin allows the
part to be synchronized to an external clock. Additional
programmability exists for leading edge blanking and
slope compensation.
A fast current sense comparator achieves 60ns current
sense delay and the error amplifier is a true voltage mode
error amplifier, allowing a wide range of compensation
networks. An accurate shutdown pin with programmable
hysteresis is available for undervoltage lockout and shut-
down. The LT1950 is available in a small 16-Pin SSOP
package.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LT1950EGN is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 125°C operating junction temperature. Specifications over the
–40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by
design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls.
The LT1950IGN is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating
junction temperature range.
Note 3:
Rise and Fall times are between 10% and 90% levels.
Note 4:
Guaranteed by correlation to static test.
Note 5:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 6:
Guaranteed but not tested.
Note 7:
Maximum recommended SYNC frequency = 500kHz.
