The LT
®
1072 is a monolithic high power switching
regulator. It can be operated in all standard switching
configurations including buck, boost, flyback, forward,
inverting and “Cuk”. A high current, high efficiency switch
is included on the die along with all oscillator, control, and
protection circuitry. Integration of all functions allows the
LT1072 to be built in a standard 5-pin TO-3 or TO-220
power package as well as the 8-pin miniDlP. This makes it
extremely easy to use and provides “bust proof” operation
similar to that obtained with 3-pin linear regulators.
The LT1072 operates with supply voltages from 3V to 60V,
and draws only 6mA quiescent current. It can deliver load
power up to 20 watts with no external power devices. By
utilizing current-mode switching techniques, it provides
excellent AC and DC load and line regulation.
The LT1072 has many unique features not found even on
the vastly more difficult to use low power control chips
presently available. It uses an adaptive anti-sat switch
drive to allow very wide ranging load currents with no loss
in efficiency. An externally activated shutdown mode
reduces total supply current to 50µA typical for standby
operation. Totally isolated and regulated outputs can be
generated by using the optional “flyback regulation mode”
built into the LT1072, without the need for optocouplers or
extra transformer windings.

USER NOTE:
This data sheet is only intended to provide specifications, graphs, and a general functional
description of the LT1072. Application circuits are included to show the capability of the LT1072.
A complete design manual (AN-19) should be obtained to assist in developing new designs. This
manual contains a comprehensive discussion of both the LT1070 and the external components used
with it, as well as complete formulas for calculating the values of these components. The manual
can also be used for the LT1072 by factoring in the lower switch current rating.

Note 1:
Minimum switch “on” time for the LT1072 in current limit is
≈
0.7µsec. This limits the maximum input voltage during short-circuit
to
conditions,
in the buck and inverting modes only,
≈
40V. Normal
(unshorted) conditions are not affected. If the LT1072 is being operated in
the buck or inverting mode at high input voltages and short-circuit
conditions are expected, a resistor must be placed in series with the
inductor, as follows:
The value of the resistor is given by:
Supply Voltage
