The LTC
®
1574 is a family of easy-to-use current mode
DC/DC converters ideally suited for 9V to 5V, 5V to 3.3V
and inverting operation. With an internal 0.9Ω switch (at
a supply voltage of 12V) and a low forward drop Schottky
diode (0.450V typ at 200mA, T
A
= 25°C), the LTC1574
requires only three external components to construct a
complete high efficiency DC/DC converter.
Under no load condition, the LTC1574 draws only 130µA.
In shutdown, it draws a mere 2µA making this converter
ideal for battery-powered applications. In dropout, the
internal P-channel MOSFET switch is turned on continu-
ously allowing the user to maximize the life of the battery
source.
The maximum inductor current of the LTC1574 family is
pin selectable to either 340mA or 600mA, optimizing
efficiency for a wide range of applications. Operation up to
200kHz permits the use of small surface mount inductors
and capacitors.
For applications requiring higher output current or ultra-
high efficiency, see the LTC1148 or LTC1265 data sheets.
For detailed applications information, see the LTC1174
data sheet.

Operating Frequency and Inductor
Since the LTC1574 utilizes a constant off-time architecture,
its operating frequency is dependent on the value of V
IN
. The
frequency of operation can be expressed as:
f
=
1

where t
OFF
= 4µs and V
D
is the voltage drop across the
internal Schottky diode. Note that the operating frequency
is a function of the input and output voltage.
Although the size of the inductor does not affect the fre-
quency or inductor peak current, it does affect the ripple
current. The peak-to-peak ripple current is given by:

When choosing a small inductor, core loss will increase due
to higher ripple current. Therefore, a low ESR output
capacitor has to be used.
Short-Circuit Protection
The LTC1574 is protected from output short circuits by its
internal current limit. Depending on the condition of the

addition, the off-time of the switch is increased to allow the
inductor current to decay far enough to prevent any current
build-up (see Figure 1).

LTC1574 Adjustable Applications
The LTC1574 develops a 1.25V reference voltage between
the feedback terminal (Pin 10) and ground (see Figure 3).
By selecting resistor R1, a constant current is caused to
flow through R1 and R2 to set the overall output voltage.
The regulated output voltage is determined by:

across R1 located close to the LTC1574.

Inverting Applications
The LTC1574 can easily be set up for a negative output
voltage. If – 5V is desired, the LTC1574-5 is ideal for this
application as it requires the least components. Figure 4
shows the schematic for this application. Note that the
output voltage is now taken off the GND pins. Therefore,
the maximum input voltage is now determined by the
U
difference between the absolute maximum voltage rating
and the output voltage. A maximum of 12V is specified in
Figure 4, giving the circuit 1.5V of headroom for V
IN
. Note
that the circuit can operate from a minimum of 4V,
making it ideal for a four NiCd cell application. For a
higher output current circuit, please refer to the Typical
Applications section.

Low Noise Regulators
In some applications it is important not to introduce any
switching noise within the audio frequency range. Due to
the nature of the LTC1574 during Burst Mode
TM
operation,
there is a possibility that the regulator will introduce audio
noise at some load currents. To circumvent this problem,
a feed-forward capacitor can be used to shift the noise
spectrum up and out of the audio band. Figure 5 shows the
low noise connection with C2 being the feed-forward
capacitor. The peak-to-peak output ripple is reduced to
30mV over the entire load range. A toroidal surface mount
