The LTC
®
1265 is a monolithic step-down current mode
DC/DC converter featuring Burst Mode
TM
operation at low
output current. The LTC1265 incorporates a 0.3Ω switch
(V
IN
=10V) allowing up to 1.2A of output current.
Under no load condition, the converter draws only 160µA.
In shutdown it typically draws a mere 5µA making this
converter ideal for current sensitive applications. In drop-
out the internal P-channel MOSFET switch is turned on
continuously maximizing the life of the battery source. The
LTC1265 incorporates automatic power saving Burst Mode
operation to reduce gate charge losses when the load
currents drop below the level required for continuous
operation.
The inductor current is user-programmable via an external
current sense resistor. Operation up to 700kHz permits
the use of small surface mount inductors and capacitors.

down. Do not float this pin.
SGND (Pin 11):
Small-Signal Ground. Must be routed
separately from other grounds to the (–) terminal of C

OPERATION
(Refer to Functional Diagram)
The LTC1265 uses a constant off-time architecture to
switch its internal P-channel power MOSFET. The off time
is set by an external timing capacitor at C
T
(Pin 5). The
operating frequency is then determined by the off time and
the difference between V
IN
and V
OUT
.
The output voltage is set by an internal resistive divider
(LTC1265-3.3 and LTC1265-5) connected to SENSE
–
(Pin 7) or an external divider returned to V
FB
(Pin 9 for
LTC1265). A voltage comparator V, and a gain block G,
compare the divided output voltage with a reference
voltage of 1.25V.
To optimize efficiency, the LTC1265 automatically switches
between continuous and Burst Mode operation. The volt-
age comparator is the primary control element when the
device is in Burst Mode operation, while the gain block
controls the output voltage in continuous mode.
When the load is heavy, the LTC1265 is in continuous
operation. During the switch ON time, current comparator
C monitors the voltage between Pins 7 and 8 connected
across an external shunt in series with the inductor. When
the voltage across the shunt reaches the comparator’s
threshold value, its output signal will change state, setting
the flip flop and turning the internal P-channel MOSFET off.
The timing capacitor connected to Pin 5 is now allowed to
discharge at a rate determined by the off-time controller.
When the voltage on the timing capacitor has discharged
past V
TH1
, comparator T trips, sets the flip flop and causes
the switch to turn on. Also, the timing capacitor is re-
charged. The inductor current will again ramp up until the
current comparator C trips. The cycle then repeats.
When the load current increases, the output voltage de-
creases slightly. This causes the output of the gain stage
(Pin 6) to increase the current comparator threshold, thus
tracking the load current.
When the load is relatively light, the LTC1265 automati-
cally goes into Burst Mode operation. The current loop is
interrupted when the output voltage exceeds the desired
regulated value. The hysteretic voltage comparator V trips
when V
OUT
is above the desired output voltage, shutting
off the switch and causing the capacitor to discharge. This
