USER NOTE:
This data sheet is only intended to provide specifications, graphs, and a general functional description
of the LT1170/LT1171/LT1172. Application circuits are included to show the capability of the
LT1170/LT1171/LT1172. A complete design manual (AN19) 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 LT1170/LT1171/LT1172 by factoring in the higher
frequency. A CAD design program called SwitcherCADTM is also available.
The LT®1170/LT1171/LT1172 are monolithic high power
switching regulators. They 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 LT1170/LT1171/LT1172 to be built in
a standard 5-pin TO-3 or TO-220 power package as well as
the 8-pin packages (LT1172). This makes them extremely
easy to use and provides “bust proof” operation similar to
that obtained with 3-pin linear regulators.
The LT1170/LT1171/LT1172 operate with supply voltages from 3V to 60V, and draw only 6mA quiescent
current. They can deliver load power up to 100W with no
external power devices. By utilizing current-mode switching techniques, they provide excellent AC and DC load and
line regulation.
The LT1170/LT1171/LT1172 have many unique features
not found even on the vastly more difficult to use low
power control chips presently available. They use adaptive
antisat 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
typically for standby operation.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of the device may be impaired.
Note 2: Minimum effective switch “on” time for the LT1170/71/72 (in current
limit only) is ≈ 0.6µs. This limits the maximum safe input voltage during an
output shorted condition. Buck mode and inverting mode input voltage during
an output shorted condition is limited to:
(R)(IL) + Vf
VIN (max, output shorted) = 15V +
(t)(f)
buck and inverting mode
R = Inductor DC resistance
IL = 10A for LT1170, 5A for LT1171, and 2.5A for LT1172
Vf = Output catch diode forward voltage at IL
t = 0.6µs, f = 100kHz switching frequency
Maximum input voltage can be increased by increasing R or Vf.
External current limiting such as that shown in AN19, Figure 39, will
provide protection up to the full supply voltage rating. C1 in Figure 39
should be reduced to 200pF.
Transformer designs will tolerate much higher input voltages because
leakage inductance limits rate of rise of current in the switch. These
designs must be evaluated individually to assure that current limit is well
controlled up to maximum input voltage.
Boost mode designs are never protected against output shorts because
the external catch diode and inductor connect input to output.
Note 3: Measured with VC in hi clamp, VFB = 0.8V. ISW = 4A for LT1170,
2A for LT1171, and 1A for LT1172.
Note 4: For duty cycles (DC) between 50% and 80%, minimum
guaranteed switch current is given by ILIM = 3.33 (2 – DC) for the LT1170,
ILIM = 1.67 (2 – DC) for the LT1171, and ILIM = 0.833 (2 – DC) for the
LT1172.
Note 5: Minimum input voltage for isolated flyback mode is 7V. VMAX =
55V for HV grade in fully isolated mode to avoid switch breakdown.

OPERATIO
The LT1170/LT1171/LT1172 are current mode switchers.
This means that switch duty cycle is directly controlled by
switch current rather than by output voltage. Referring to
the block diagram, the switch is turned “on” at the start of
each oscillator cycle. It is turned “off” when switch current
reaches a predetermined level. Control of output voltage is
obtained by using the output of a voltage sensing error
amplifier to set current trip level. This technique has
several advantages. First, it has immediate response to
input voltage variations, unlike ordinary switchers which
have notoriously poor line transient response. Second, it
reduces the 90° phase shift at midfrequencies in the
energy storage inductor. This greatly simplifies closedloop frequency compensation under widely varying input
voltage or output load conditions. Finally, it allows simple
pulse-by-pulse current limiting to provide maximum switch
protection under output overload or short conditions. A
low dropout internal regulator provides a 2.3V supply for
all internal circuitry on the LT1170/LT1171/LT1172. This
low dropout design allows input voltage to vary from 3V to
60V with virtually no change in device performance. A
100kHz oscillator is the basic clock for all internal timing.
It turns “on” the output switch via the logic and driver
circuitry. Special adaptive anti-sat circuitry detects onset
of saturation in the power switch and adjusts driver
current instantaneously to limit switch saturation. This
minimizes driver dissipation and provides very rapid turnoff of the switch.
A 1.2V bandgap reference biases the positive input of the
error amplifier. The negative input is brought out for
output voltage sensing. This feedback pin has a second

OPERATIO
function; when pulled low with an external resistor, it
programs the LT1170/LT1171/LT1172 to disconnect the
main error amplifier output and connects the output of the
flyback amplifier to the comparator input. The LT1170/
LT1171/LT1172 will then regulate the value of the flyback
pulse with respect to the supply voltage.* This flyback
pulse is directly proportional to output voltage in the
traditional transformer coupled flyback topology regulator. By regulating the amplitude of the flyback pulse, the
output voltage can be regulated with no direct connection
between input and output. The output is fully floating up to
the breakdown voltage of the transformer windings. Multiple floating outputs are easily obtained with additional
windings. A special delay network inside the LT1170/
LT1171/LT1172 ignores the leakage inductance spike at
the leading edge of the flyback pulse to improve output
regulation.
The error signal developed at the comparator input is
brought out externally. This pin (VC) has four different
functions. It is used for frequency compensation, current
limit adjustment, soft starting, and total regulator shutdown. During normal regulator operation this pin sits at a
voltage between 0.9V (low output current) and 2.0V (high
output current). The error amplifiers are current output
(gm) types, so this voltage can be externally clamped for
adjusting current limit. Likewise, a capacitor coupled
external clamp will provide soft start. Switch duty cycle
goes to zero if the VC pin is pulled to ground through a
diode, placing the LT1170/LT1171/LT1172 in an idle mode.
Pulling the VC pin below 0.15V causes total regulator
shutdown, with only 50µA supply current for shutdown
circuitry biasing. See AN19 for full application details.
Extra Pins on the MiniDIP and Surface Mount Packages
The 8- and 16-pin versions of the LT1172 have the
emitters of the power transistor brought out separately
from the ground pin. This eliminates errors due to ground
pin voltage drops and allows the user to reduce switch
current limit 2:1 by leaving the second emitter (E2) disconnected. The first emitter (E1) should always be connected
to the ground pin. Note that switch “on” resistance doubles
when E2 is left open, so efficiency will suffer somewhat
*See note under block diagram.
8
when switch currents exceed 300mA. Also, note that chip
dissipation will actually increase with E2 open during
normal load operation, even though dissipation in current
limit mode will decrease. See “Thermal Considerations”
next.
Thermal Considerations When Using the MiniDIP and
SW Packages
The low supply current and high switch efficiency of the
LT1172 allow it to be used without a heat sink in most
applications when the TO-220 or TO-3 package is selected. These packages are rated at 50°C/W and 35°C/W
respectively. The miniDIPs, however, are rated at 100°C/W
in ceramic (J) and 130°C/W in plastic (N).
Care should be taken for miniDIP applications to ensure
that the worst case input voltage and load current conditions do not cause excessive die temperatures. The following formulas can be used as a rough guide to calculate
LT1172 power dissipation. For more details, the reader is
referred to Application Note 19 (AN19), “Efficiency Calculations” section.
Average supply current (including driver current) is:
IIN ≈ 6mA + ISW (0.004 + DC/40)
ISW = switch current
DC = switch duty cycle
Switch power dissipation is given by:
PSW = (ISW)2 • (RSW)(DC)
RSW = LT1172 switch “on” resistance (1Ω maximum)
Total power dissipation is the sum of supply current times
input voltage plus switch power:
PD(TOT) = (IIN)(VIN) + PSW
In a typical example, using a boost converter to generate
12V at 0.12A from a 5V input, duty cycle is approximately
60%, and switch current is about 0.65A, yielding:
IIN = 6mA + 0.65(0.004 + DC/40) = 18mA
PSW = (0.65)2 • (1Ω)(0.6) = 0.25W
PD(TOT) = (5V)(0.018A) + 0.25 = 0.34W
LT1170/LT1171/LT1172
U
OPERATIO
Temperature rise in a plastic miniDIP would be 130°C/W
times 0.34W, or approximately 44°C. The maximum ambient temperature would be limited to 100°C (commercial
temperature limit) minus 44°C, or 56°C.
In most applications, full load current is used to calculate
die temperature. However, if overload conditions must
also be accounted for, four approaches are possible. First,
if loss of regulated output is acceptable under overload
conditions, the internal thermal limit of the LT1172 will
protect the die in most applications by shutting off switch
current. Thermal limit is not a tested parameter, however,
and should be considered only for noncritical applications
with temporary overloads. A second approach is to use the
larger TO-220 (T) or TO-3 (K) package which, even without
a heat sink, may limit die temperatures to safe levels under
overload conditions. In critical situations, heat sinking of
these packages is required; especially if overload conditions must be tolerated for extended periods of time.
The third approach for lower current applications is to
leave the second switch emitter (miniDIP only) open. This
increases switch “on” resistance by 2:1, but reduces
switch current limit by 2:1 also, resulting in a net 2:1
reduction in I2R switch dissipation under current limit
conditions.
The fourth approach is to clamp the VC pin to a voltage less
than its internal clamp level of 2V. The LT1172 switch
current limit is zero at approximately 1V on the VC pin and
2A at 2V on the VC pin. Peak switch current can be
externally clamped between these two levels with a diode.
See AN19 for details.
LT1170/LT1171/LT1172 Synchronizing
The LT1170/LT1171/LT1172 can be externally synchronized in the frequency range of 120kHz to 160kHz. This is
accomplished as shown in the accompanying figures.
Synchronizing occurs when the VC pin is pulled to ground
with an external transistor. To avoid disturbing the DC
characteristics of the internal error amplifier, the width of
the synchronizing pulse should be under 0.3µs. C2 sets
the pulse width at ≅ 0.2µs. The effect of a synchronizing
pulse on the LT1170/LT1171/LT1172 amplifier offset can
be calculated from:

fS = pulse frequency
IC = VC source current (≈ 200µA)
VC = operating VC voltage (1V to 2V)
R3 = resistor used to set mid-frequency “zero” in
frequency compensation network.
( )( )
With tS = 0.2µs, fS = 150kHz, VC = 1.5V, and R3 = 2k, offset
voltage shift is ≈ 3.8mV. This is not particularly bothersome, but note that high offsets could result if R3 were
reduced to a much lower value. Also, the synchronizing
transistor must sink higher currents with low values of R3,
so larger drives may have to be used. The transistor must
be capable of pulling the VC pin to within 200mV of ground
to ensure synchronizing.
