DESCRIPTIO
The LT®1074 is a 5A (LT1076 is rated at 2A) monolithic
bipolar switching regulator which requires only a few
external parts for normal operation. The power switch, all
oscillator and control circuitry, and all current limit components, are included on the chip. The topology is a classic
On-chip pulse by pulse current limiting makes the LT1074
nearly bust-proof for output overloads or shorts. The input
voltage range as a buck converter is 8V to 60V, but a selfboot feature allows input voltages as low as 5V in the
inverting and boost configurations.
The LT1074 is available in low cost TO-220 or TO-3
packages with frequency pre-set at 100kHz and current
limit at 6.5A (LT1076 = 2.6A). A 7-pin TO-220 package is
also available which allows current limit to be adjusted
down to zero. In addition, full micropower shutdown can
be programmed. See Application Note 44 for design
details.
A fixed 5V output, 2A version is also available. See LT1076-5.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2: To calculate maximum switch “on” voltage at currents between
low and high conditions, a linear interpolation may be used.
Note 3: A feedback pin voltage (VFB) of 2.5V forces the VC pin to its low
clamp level and the switch duty cycle to zero. This approximates the zero
load condition where duty cycle approaches zero.
Note 4: Total voltage from VIN pin to ground pin must be ≥ 8V after startup for proper regulation.
Note 5: Switch frequency is internally scaled down when the feedback pin
voltage is less than 1.3V to avoid extremely short switch on times. During
testing, VFB is adjusted to give a minimum switch on time of 1µs.

DESCRIPTIO
A switch cycle in the LT1074 is initiated by the oscillator
setting the R/S latch. The pulse that sets the latch also
locks out the switch via gate G1. The effective width of this
pulse is approximately 700ns, which sets the maximum
switch duty cycle to approximately 93% at 100kHz switching frequency. The switch is turned off by comparator C1,
which resets the latch. C1 has a sawtooth waveform as one
input and the output of an analog multiplier as the other
input. The multiplier output is the product of an internal
reference voltage, and the output of the error amplifier, A1,
divided by the regulator input voltage. In standard buck
regulators, this means that the output voltage of A1
required to keep a constant regulated output is independent of regulator input voltage. This greatly improves line
transient response, and makes loop gain independent of
input voltage. The error amplifier is a transconductance
type with a GM at null of approximately 5000µmho. Slew
current going positive is 140µA, while negative slew
current is about 1.1mA. This asymmetry helps prevent
overshoot on start-up. Overall loop frequency compensation is accomplished with a series RC network from VC to
ground.
voltages by feeding the FB signal into the oscillator and
creating a linear frequency downshift when the FB signal
drops below 1.3V. Current trip level is set by the voltage on
the ILIM pin which is driven by an internal 320µA current
source. When this pin is left open, it self-clamps at about
4.5V and sets current limit at 6.5A for the LT1074 and 2.6A
for the LT1076. In the 7-pin package an external resistor
can be connected from the ILIM pin to ground to set a lower
current limit. A capacitor in parallel with this resistor will
soft-start the current limit. A slight offset in C2 guarantees
that when the ILIM pin is pulled to within 200mV of ground,
C2 output will stay high and force switch duty cycle to zero.
Switch current is continuously monitored by C2, which
resets the R/S latch to turn the switch off if an overcurrent
condition occurs. The time required for detection and
switch turn off is approximately 600ns. So minimum
switch “on” time in current limit is 600ns. Under dead
shorted output conditions, switch duty cycle may have to
be as low as 2% to maintain control of output current. This
would require switch on time of 200ns at 100kHz switching frequency, so frequency is reduced at very low output
The switch used in the LT1074 is a Darlington NPN (single
NPN for LT1076) driven by a saturated PNP. Special
patented circuitry is used to drive the PNP on and off very
quickly even from the saturation state. This particular
switch arrangement has no “isolation tubs” connected to
the switch output, which can therefore swing to 40V below
ground.
The “Shutdown” pin is used to force switch duty cycle to
zero by pulling the ILIM pin low, or to completely shut down
the regulator. Threshold for the former is approximately
2.35V, and for complete shutdown, approximately 0.3V.
Total supply current in shutdown is about 150µA. A 10µA
pull-up current forces the shutdown pin high when left
open. A capacitor can be used to generate delayed startup. A resistor divider will program “undervoltage lockout”
if the divider voltage is set at 2.35V when the input is at the
desired trip point.

PI DESCRIPTIO S
VIN PIN
The VIN pin is both the supply voltage for internal control
circuitry and one end of the high current switch. It is
important, especially at low input voltages, that this pin be
bypassed with a low ESR, and low inductance capacitor to
prevent transient steps or spikes from causing erratic
operation. At full switch current of 5A, the switching
transients at the regulator input can get very large as
shown in Figure 1. Place the input capacitor very close to
the regulator and connect it with wide traces to avoid extra
inductance. Use radial lead capacitors.

To ensure good load regulation, the ground pin must be
connected directly to the proper output node, so that no
high currents flow in this path. The output divider resistor
should also be connected to this low current connection
line as shown in Figure 2.

“Step” for ESR = 0.05Ω and ISW = 5A is 0.25V.
“Ramp” for C = 200µF, TON = 5µs, and ISW = 5A,
is 0.12V.
Input current on the VIN Pin in shutdown mode is the sum
of actual supply current (≈140µA, with a maximum of
300µA), and switch leakage current. Consult factory for
special testing if shutdown mode input current is critical.
GROUND PIN
It might seem unusual to describe a ground pin, but in the
case of regulators, the ground pin must be connected
properly to ensure good load regulation. The internal
reference voltage is referenced to the ground pin; so any
error in ground pin voltage will be multiplied at the output;
8
Figure 2. Proper Ground Pin Connection
FEEDBACK PIN
The feedback pin is the inverting input of an error amplifier
which controls the regulator output by adjusting duty
cycle. The noninverting input is internally connected to a
trimmed 2.21V reference. Input bias current is typically
0.5µA when the error amplifier is balanced (IOUT = 0). The
error amplifier has asymmetrical GM for large input signals to reduce startup overshoot. This makes the amplifier
more sensitive to large ripple voltages at the feedback pin.
100mVp-p ripple at the feedback pin will create a 14mV
offset in the amplifier, equivalent to a 0.7% output voltage
shift. To avoid output errors, output ripple (P-P) should be
less than 4% of DC output voltage at the point where the
output divider is connected.
See the “Error Amplifier” section for more details.
Frequency Shifting at the Feedback Pin
The error amplifier feedback pin (FB) is used to downshift
the oscillator frequency when the regulator output voltage
is low. This is done to guarantee that output short-circuit
LT1074/LT1076

current is well controlled even when switch duty cycle
must be extremely low. Theoretical switch “on” time for a
buck converter in continuous mode is:
tON =
VOUT + VD
VIN • f
VD = Catch diode forward voltage ( ≈ 0.5V)
f = Switching frequency
At f = 100kHz, tON must drop to 0.2µs when VIN = 25V
and the output is shorted (VOUT = 0V). In current limit,
the LT1074 can reduce tON to a minimum value of
≈0.6µs, much too long to control current correctly for
VOUT = 0. To correct this problem, switching frequency
is lowered from 100kHz to 20kHz as the FB pin drops
from 1.3V to 0.5V. This is accomplished by the circuitry
shown in Figure 3.

SHUTDOWN PIN
The shutdown pin is used for undervoltage lockout, micropower shutdown, soft-start, delayed start, or as a general
purpose on/off control of the regulator output. It controls
switching action by pulling the ILIM pin low, which forces
the switch to a continuous “off” state. Full micropower
shutdown is initiated when the shutdown pin drops below
0.3V.
The V/I characteristics of the shutdown pin are shown in
Figure 4. For voltages between 2.5V and ≈VIN, a current of
10µA flows out of the shutdown pin. This current increases to ≈25µA as the shutdown pin moves through the
2.35V threshold. The current increases further to ≈30µA at
the 0.3V threshold, then drops to ≈15µA as the shutdown
voltage fall below 0.3V. The 10µA current source is included to pull the shutdown pin to its high or default state
when left open. It also provides a convenient pull-up for
delayed start applications with a capacitor on the shutdown pin.
When activated, the typical collector current of Q1 in
Figure 5, is ≈2mA. A soft-start capacitor on the ILIM pin will
delay regulator shutdown in response to C1, by
≈(5V)(CLIM)/2mA. Soft-start after full micropower shutdown is ensured by coupling C2 to Q1.

Figure 3. Frequency Shifting
Q1 is off when the output is regulating (VFB = 2.21V). As
the output is pulled down by an overload, VFB will eventually reach 1.3V, turning on Q1. As the output continues to
drop, Q1 current increases proportionately and lowers the
frequency of the oscillator. Frequency shifting starts when
the output is ≈ 60% of normal value, and is down to its
minimum value of ≅ 20kHz when the output is ≅ 20% of
normal value. The rate at which frequency is shifted is
determined by both the internal 3k resistor R3 and the
external divider resistors. For this reason, R2 should not
be increased to more than 4kΩ, if the LT1074 will be
subjected to the simultaneous conditions of high input
voltage and output short-circuit.

Undervoltage Lockout
Undervoltage lockout point is set by R1 and R2 in Figure␣ 6.
To avoid errors due to the 10µA shutdown pin current, R2
is usually set at 5k, and R1 is found from:
R1 = R2
( VTP − VSH )
VSH
VSH = Threshold for lockout on the
shutdown pin = 2.45V
If quiescent supply current is critical, R2 may be increased
up to 15kΩ, but the denominator in the formula for R2
should replace VSH with VSH – (10µA)(R2).

When ILIM is left open, the voltage at Q1 base clamps at 5V
through D2. Internal current limit is determined by the
current through Q1. If an external resistor is connected
between ILIM and ground, the voltage at Q1 base can be
reduced for lower current limit. The resistor will have a
voltage across it equal to (320µA)(R), limited to ≈5V when
clamped by D2. Resistance required for a given current
limit is:
RLIM = ILIM(2kΩ) + 1kΩ (LT1074)
RLIM = ILIM(5.5kΩ) + 1kΩ (LT1076)
As an example, a 3A current limit would require
3A(2k) + 1k = 7kΩ for the LT1074. The accuracy of these
formulas is ±25% for 2A ≤ ILIM ≤ 5A (LT1074) and
7A ≤ ILIM ≤ 1.8A (LT1076), so ILIM should be set at least
25% above the peak switch current required.
Foldback current limiting can be easily implemented by
adding a resistor from the output to the ILIM pin as shown
in Figure 9. This allows full desired current limit (with or
without RLIM) when the output is regulating, but reduces
current limit under short-circuit conditions. A typical value
for RFB is 5kΩ, but this may be adjusted up or down to set
the amount of foldback. D2 prevents the output voltage

Error Amplifier
The error amplifier in Figure 10 is a single stage design
with added inverters to allow the output to swing above
and below the common mode input voltage. One side of
the amplifier is tied to a trimmed internal reference voltage
of 2.21V. The other input is brought out as the FB (feedback) pin. This amplifier has a GM (voltage “in” to current
“out”) transfer function of ≈5000µmho. Voltage gain is
determined by multiplying GM times the total equivalent
output loading, consisting of the output resistance of Q4
and Q6 in parallel with the series RC external frequency
compensation network. At DC, the external RC is ignored,
and with a parallel output impedance for Q4 and Q6 of
400kΩ, voltage gain is ≈2000. At frequencies above a few
hertz, voltage gain is determined by the external compensation, RC and CC.

Phase shift from the FB pin to the VC pin is 90° at mid
frequencies where the external CC is controlling gain, then
drops back to 0° (actually 180° since FB is an inverting
input) when the reactance of CC is small compared to RC.

equal to the output impedance of Q4 and Q6 (rO), is:

mid-frequency gain is dependent only on Gm, which is
specified much tighter on the data sheet. The higher
frequency “zero” is determined solely by RC and CC.
fZERO =

2π • RC • CC
The error amplifier has asymmetrical peak output current.
Q3 and Q4 current mirrors are unity-gain, but the Q6
mirror has a gain of 1.8 at output null and a gain of 8 when
the FB pin is high (Q1 current = 0). This results in a
maximum positive output current of 140µA and a maximum negative (sink) output current of ≅1.1mA. The asymmetry is deliberate—it results in much less regulator
output overshoot during rapid start-up or following the
release of an output overload. Amplifier offset is kept low
by area scaling Q1 and Q2 at 1.8:1.
Amplifier swing is limited by the internal 5.8V supply for
positive outputs and by D1 and D2 when the output goes
low. Low clamp voltage is approximately one diode drop
(≈0.7V – 2mV/°C).
Note that both the FB pin and the VC pin have other internal
connections. Refer to the frequency shifting and synchronizing discussions.
