The LTC

1159 series is a family of synchronous step-down
switching regulator controllers featuring automatic Burst
Mode
TM
operation to maintain high efficiencies at low
output currents. These devices drive external complemen-
tary power MOSFETs at switching frequencies up to 250kHz
using a constant off-time current-mode architecture.
A separate pin and on-board switch allow the MOSFET
driver power to be derived from the regulated output
voltage providing significant efficiency improvement when
operating at high input voltages. The constant off-time
current-mode architecture maintains constant ripple cur-
rent in the inductor and provides excellent line and load
transient response. The output current level is user pro-
grammable via an external current sense resistor.
The LTC1159 automatically switches to power saving
Burst Mode operation when load current drops below
approximately 15% of maximum current. Standby current
is only 300µA while still regulating the output and shut-
down current is a low 20µA.

Note 2:
T

is calculated from the ambient temperature T

according to the following formulas:
LTC1159CG, LTC1159CG-3.3, LTC1159CG-5: T

Note 3:
On LTC1159 versions which have a SHDN1 pin, it must be at
ground potential for testing.
Note 4:
The LTC1159 V
IN
and EXTV
CC
current measurements exclude
MOSFET driver currents. When V
CC
power is derived from the output via
EXTV
CC
, the input current increases by (I
GATECHG
• Duty Cycle)/(Efficiency).
See Typical Performance Characteristics and Applications Information.
Note 5:
In applications where R
SENSE
is placed at ground potential, the off-
time increases approximately 40%.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 6:
The LTC1159C, LTC1159C-3.3, and LTC1159C-5 are not tested
and not quality assurance sampled at – 40°C and 85°C. These
specifications are guaranteed by design and/or correlation. The LTC1159I,
LTC1159I-3.3 and LTC1159I-5 are guaranteed and tested over the – 40°C
to 85°C operating temperature range.
Note 7:
The logic-level power MOSFETs shown in Figure 1 are rated for
V
DS(MAX)
= 30V. For operation at V
IN
> 30V, use standard threshold
MOSFETs with EXTV
CC
powered from a 12V supply. See Applications
Information.

V
IN
:
Main Supply Input Pin.
SGND:
Small-Signal Ground. Must be routed separately
from other grounds to the (–) terminal of C
OUT
.
PGND:
Driver Power Grounds. Connect to source of N-
channel MOSFET and the (–) terminal of C
IN
.
V
CC
:
Outputs of internal 4.5V linear regulator, EXTV
CC
switch, and supply inputs for driver and control circuits.
The driver and control circuits are powered from the higher
of the 4.5V regulator or EXTV
CC
voltage. Must be closely
decoupled to power ground.
C
T

External capacitor C
T
from this pin to ground sets the
operating frequency. (The frequency is also dependent on
the ratio V

IN
.)
I
TH
:
Gain Amplifier Decoupling Point. The current com-
parator threshold increases with the I
TH
pin voltage.
V
FB
:
For the LTC1159 adjustable version, the V
FB
pin
receives the feedback voltage from an external resistive
divider used to set the output voltage.
SENSE
–
:
Connects to internal resistive divider which sets
the output voltage in fixed output versions. The SENSE
–
pin
is also the (–) input of the current comparator.
SENSE
+
:
The (+) Input for the Current Comparator. A built-
in offset between the SENSE
+
and SENSE
–
pins, in conjunc-
tion with R
SENSE
, sets the current trip threshold.
N-Gate:
High Current Drive for the Bottom N-Channel
MOSFET. The N-Gate pin swings from ground to V
CC
.
P-Gate:
Level-Shifted Gate Drive Signal for the Top
P-Channel MOSFET. The voltage swing at the P-gate pin is
from V
IN
to V
IN
– V
CC
.
P-Drive:
High Current Gate Drive for the Top P-Channel
MOSFET. The P-drive pin(s) swing(s) from V
CC
to ground.
CAP:
Charge Compensation Pin. A capacitor to V
CC
pro-
vides charge required by the P-gate level-shift capacitor
during supply transitions.
The charge compensation ca-
pacitor must be larger than the gate drive capacitor.
SHDN1:
This pin shuts down the control circuitry only (V
CC
is not affected). Taking SHDN1 pin high turns off the
control circuitry and holds both MOSFETs off. This pin
must be at ground potential for normal operation.
SHDN2:
Master Shutdown Pin. Taking SHDN2 high shuts
down V
CC
and all control circuitry.
