LTC1871-1
Wide Input Range, No R
SENSE
™
Current Mode Boost,
Flyback and SEPIC Controller
DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
1871-1 is a wide input range, current mode, boost,
flyback or SEPIC controller that drives an N-channel power
MOSFET and requires very few external components. It
eliminates the need for a current sense resistor by utilizing
the power MOSFET’s on-resistance, thereby maximizing
efficiency. Higher output voltage applications are possible
with the LTC1871-1 by connecting the SENSE pin to a
resistor in the source of the power MOSFET.
The IC’s operating frequency can be set with an external
resistor over a 50kHz to 1MHz range, and can be synchro-
nized to an external clock using the MODE/SYNC pin.
The LTC1871-1 differs from the LTC1871 by having a
lower pulse skip threshold, making it ideal for applica-
tions requiring constant frequency operation at light
loads. The lower pulse skip threshold also helps maintain
constant frequency operation in applications with a wide
input voltage range. For applications requiring primary-
to-secondary side isolation, please refer to the LTC1871
datasheet.
The LTC1871-1 is available in the 10-lead MSOP package.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LTC1871E-1 is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C junction temperature. Specifications over the – 40°C
to 85°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The
LTC1871I-1 is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range.
Note 3:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation P
D
according to the following formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 110°C/W)
Note 4:
The dynamic input supply current is higher due to power MOSFET
gate charging (Q
G
• f
OSC
). See Applications Information.
Note 5:
The LTC1871-1 is tested in a feedback loop which servos V
FB
to
the reference voltage with the I
TH
pin forced to the midpoint of its voltage
range (0.3V ≤ V
ITH
≤ 1.2V, midpoint = 0.75V).
Note 6:
In a synchronized application, the internal slope compensation
gain is increased by 25%. Synchronizing to a significantly higher ratio will
reduce the effective amount of slope compensation, which could result in
subharmonic oscillation for duty cycles greater than 50%.
Note 7:
Rise and fall times are measured at 10% and 90% levels.
