LTC1779
250mA Current Mode
Step-Down DC/DC Converter
in ThinSOT
DescripTion
The
LTC
®
1779
is a constant frequency current mode step-
down DC/DC converter in a 6-lead ThinSOT package. The
part operates with a 2.5V to 9.8V input and can provide
up to 250mA of output current. Current mode control
provides excellent AC and DC load and line regulation.
The device incorporates an accurate undervoltage lockout
feature that shuts down the LTC1779 when the input volt-
age falls below 2V.
The LTC1779 boasts a ± 2.5% output voltage accuracy
and consumes only 135µA of quiescent current. For ap-
plications where efficiency is a prime consideration, the
LTC1779 is configured for Burst Mode operation, which
enhances efficiency at low output current.
To further maximize the life of a battery source, the
internal P-channel MOSFET is turned on continuously in
dropout (100% duty cycle). In shutdown, the device draws
a mere 8µA. High constant operating frequency of 550kHz
allows the use of a small external inductor.
The LTC1779 is available in a low profile (1mm) ThinSOT
package.

pin FuncTions
I
TH
/RUN (Pin 1):
This pin performs two functions. It serves
as the error amplifier compensation point as well as the run
control input. The current comparator threshold increases
with this control voltage. Nominal voltage range for this
pin is 0.7V to 1.9V. Forcing this pin below 0.325V causes
the device to be shut down. In shutdown all functions are
disabled and the internal P-channel MOSFET is turned off.
The SW pin will be high impedance.
GND (Pin 2):
Ground Pin.
V
FB
(Pin 3):
Receives the feedback voltage from an external
resistive divider across the output.
SENSE
–
(Pin 4):
The Negative Input to the Current Com-
parator. Can be connected to V
IN
for default minimum
peak current of 250mA. Connecting a resistor between
SENSE
–
and V
IN
specifies a lower peak current. (See Ap-
plications Information for specifying resistor value.)
V
IN
(Pin 5):
Supply Pin. Must be closely decoupled to
GND Pin 2.
SW (Pin 6):
Switching Node and Drain of Internal
P-Channel Power MOSFET. Connects to external inductor
and catch diode.

Main Control Loop
(Refer to Functional Diagram)
The LTC1779 is a constant frequency current mode
switching regulator. During normal operation, the internal
P-channel power MOSFET is turned on each cycle when
the oscillator sets the RS latch (RS1) and turned off when
the current comparator (ICMP) resets the latch. The peak
inductor current at which ICMP resets the RS latch is
controlled by the voltage on the I
TH
/RUN pin, which is the
output of the error amplifier EAMP. An external resistive
divider connected between V
OUT
and ground allows the
EAMP to receive an output feedback voltage V
FB
. When
the load current increases, it causes a slight decrease in

relative to the 0.8V reference, which in turn causes the
I
TH
/RUN voltage to increase until the average inductor
current matches the new load current.
The main control loop is shut down by pulling the I
TH
/RUN
pin low. Releasing I
TH
/RUN allows an internal 0.5µA
current source to charge up the external compensation
network. When the I
TH
/RUN pin reaches 325mV, the
main control loop is enabled with the I
TH
/RUN voltage
then pulled up to its zero current level of approximately
0.7V. As the external compensation network continues
to charge up, the corresponding output current trip level
follows, allowing normal operation.
