serves as the error amplifier compensation point as well as
the run control input. Nominal voltage range for this pin is
0.7V to 1.9V. Forcing this pin below 0.35V causes the

disabled and the NGATE pin is held low.
GND (Pin 2): Ground Pin.
SENSE – (Pin 4): The Negative Input to the Current Comparator.
VIN (Pin 5): Supply Pin. Must be closely decoupled to GND
Pin 2.

OPERATIO
(Refer to Functional Diagram)
Main Control Loop
The LTC1872 is a constant frequency current mode switching regulator. During normal operation, the external
N-channel power MOSFET is turned on each cycle by the
oscillator and turned off when the current comparator
(ICMP) resets the RS latch. The peak inductor current at
which ICMP resets the RS latch is controlled by the voltage
on the ITH/RUN pin, which is the output of the error
amplifier EAMP. An external resistive divider connected
between VOUT and ground allows the EAMP to receive an
output feedback voltage VFB. When the load current increases, it causes a slight decrease in VFB relative to the
4
0.8V reference, which in turn causes the
ITH/RUN voltage to increase until the average inductor
current matches the new load current.
The main control loop is shut down by pulling the ITH/RUN
pin low. Releasing ITH/RUN allows an internal 0.5µA
current source to charge up the external compensation
network. When the ITH/RUN pin reaches 0.35V, the main
control loop is enabled with the ITH/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.
LTC1872
U
OPERATIO
(Refer to Functional Diagram)
Comparator OVP guards against transient overshoots
> 7.5% by turning off the external N-channel power
MOSFET and keeping it off until the fault is removed.
Burst Mode Operation
The LTC1872 enters Burst Mode operation at low load
currents. In this mode, the peak current of the inductor is
set as if VITH/RUN = 1V (at low duty cycles) even though
the voltage at the ITH/RUN pin is at a lower value. If the
inductor’s average current is greater than the load requirement, the voltage at the ITH/RUN pin will drop. When the
ITH/RUN voltage goes below 0.85V, the sleep signal goes
high, turning off the external MOSFET. The sleep signal
goes low when the ITH/RUN voltage goes above 0.925V
and the LTC1872 resumes normal operation. The next
oscillator cycle will turn the external MOSFET on and the
switching cycle repeats.
Undervoltage Lockout
To prevent operation of the N-channel MOSFET below safe
input voltage levels, an undervoltage lockout is incorporated into the LTC1872. When the input supply voltage
drops below approximately 2.0V, the N-channel MOSFET
and all circuitry is turned off except the undervoltage
block, which draws only several microamperes.
Overvoltage Protection
The overvoltage comparator in the LTC1872 will turn the
external MOSFET off when the feedback voltage has risen
7.5% above the reference voltage of 0.8V. This comparator has a typical hysteresis of 20mV.
Slope Compensation and Inductor’s Peak Current
The inductor’s peak current is determined by:
IPK =
VITH − 0.7
(
10 RSENSE
)
when the LTC1872 is operating below 40% duty cycle.
However, once the duty cycle exceeds 40%, slope compensation begins and effectively reduces the peak inductor current. The amount of reduction is given by the curves
in Figure 2.
Short-Circuit Protection
Since the power switch in a boost converter is not in series
with the power path from input to load, turning off the
switch provides no protection from a short-circuit at the
output. External means such as a fuse in series with the
boost inductor must be employed to handle this fault
condition.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The basic LTC1872 application circuit is shown in
Figure␣ 1. External component selection is driven by the
load requirement and begins with the selection of L1 and
RSENSE (= R1). Next, the power MOSFET and the output
diode D1 is selected followed by CIN(= C1) and COUT(= C2).
RSENSE Selection for Output Current
RSENSE is chosen based on the required output current.
With the current comparator monitoring the voltage developed across RSENSE, the threshold of the comparator
determines the inductor’s peak current. The output current the LTC1872 can provide is given by:
 0.12

I
VIN
IOUT = 
− RIPPLE 
2  VOUT + VD
 RSENSE
where IRIPPLE is the inductor peak-to-peak ripple current
(see Inductor Value Calculation section) and VD is the
forward drop of the output diode at the full rated output
current.
A reasonable starting point for setting ripple current is:
( )( ) VOUTVIN+ VD
IRIPPLE = O.4 IOUT
Rearranging the above equation, it becomes:
RSENSE =


1
VIN


10 IOUT  VOUT + VD 
( )( )
for Duty Cycle < 40%
However, for operation that is above 40% duty cycle, slope
compensation’s effect has to be taken into consideration
to select the appropriate value to provide the required
amount of current. Using the scaling factor (SF, in %) in
Figure 2, the value of RSENSE is:
RSENSE =
6
SF


VIN


100  VOUT + VD 
(10)(IOUT )( )
Inductor Value Calculation
The operating frequency and inductor selection are interrelated in that higher operating frequencies permit the use
of a smaller inductor for the same amount of inductor
ripple current. However, this is at the expense of efficiency
due to an increase in MOSFET gate charge losses.
The inductance value also has a direct effect on ripple
current. The ripple current, IRIPPLE, decreases with higher
inductance or frequency and increases with higher VOUT.
The inductor’s peak-to-peak ripple current is given by:
IRIPPLE =
VIN  VOUT + VD − VIN 


f L  VOUT + VD 
()
where f is the operating frequency. Accepting larger values
of IRIPPLE allows the use of low inductances, but results in
higher output voltage ripple and greater core losses. A
reasonable starting point for setting ripple current is:
V
+ VD 
IRIPPLE = 0.4 IOUT (MAX)   OUT



V

IN
In Burst Mode operation, the ripple current is normally set
such that the inductor current is continuous during the
burst periods. Therefore, the peak-to-peak ripple current
must not exceed:
IRIPPLE ≤
0.03
RSENSE
This implies a minimum inductance of:
LMIN =
 VOUT + VD − VIN 
 0.03   VOUT + VD 
f

 RSENSE 
VIN
A smaller value than L MIN could be used in the circuit;
however, the inductor current will not be continuous
during burst periods.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Inductor Selection
When selecting the inductor, keep in mind that inductor
saturation current has to be greater than the current limit
set by the current sense resistor. Also, keep in mind that
the DC resistance of the inductor will affect the efficiency.
Off the shelf inductors are available from Murata, Coilcraft,
Toko, Panasonic, Coiltronics and many other suppliers.
It is important to adequately specify the diode peak current
and average power dissipation so as not to exceed the
diode ratings.
Schottky diodes are recommended for low forward drop
and fast switching times. Remember to keep lead length
short and observe proper grounding (see Board Layout
Checklist) to avoid ringing and increased dissipation.
Power MOSFET Selection
CIN and COUT Selection
The main selection criteria for the power MOSFET are the
threshold voltage VGS(TH), the “on” resistance RDS(ON),
reverse transfer capacitance CRSS and total gate charge.
To prevent large input voltage ripple, a low ESR input
capacitor sized for the maximum RMS current must be
used. The maximum RMS capacitor current for a boost
converter is approximately equal to:
Since the LTC1872 is designed for operation down to low
input voltages, a logic level threshold MOSFET (RDS(ON)
guaranteed at VGS = 2.5V) is required for applications that
work close to this voltage. When these MOSFETs are used,
make sure that the input supply to the LTC1872 is less than
the absolute maximum VGS rating, typically 8V.
The required minimum RDS(ON) of the MOSFET is governed by its allowable power dissipation given by:
R DS(ON) ≅
PP
(DC )IIN (1+ δp)
2
where PP is the allowable power dissipation and δp is the
temperature dependency of RDS(ON). (1 + δp) is generally
given for a MOSFET in the form of a normalized RDS(ON) vs
temperature curve, but δp = 0.005/°C can be used as an
approximation for low voltage MOSFETs. DC is the maximum operating duty cycle of the LTC1872.
Output Diode Selection
Under normal load conditions, the average current conducted by the diode in a boost converter is equal to the
output load current:
ID(avg) = IOUT
( )
C IN Required IRMS ≈ 0.3 IRIPPLE
where IRIPPLE is as defined in the Inductor Value Calculation section.
Note that capacitor manufacturer’s ripple current ratings
are often based on 2000 hours of life. This makes it
advisable to further derate the capacitor, or to choose a
capacitor rated at a higher temperature than required.
Several capacitors may be paralleled to meet the size or
height requirements in the design. Due to the high operating frequency of the LTC1872, ceramic capacitors can also
be used for CIN. Always consult the manufacturer if there
is any question.
The selection of COUT is driven by the required effective
series resistance (ESR). Typically, once the ESR requirement is satisfied, the capacitance is adequate for filtering.
The output ripple (∆VOUT) is approximated by:

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
where f is the operating frequency, COUT is the output
capacitance and IRIPPLE is the ripple current in the inductor.
Manufacturers such as Nichicon, United Chemicon and
Sanyo should be considered for high performance throughhole capacitors. The OS-CON semiconductor dielectric
capacitor available from Sanyo has the lowest ESR (size)
product of any aluminum electrolytic at a somewhat
higher price. The output capacitor RMS current is approximately equal to:
Setting Output Voltage
The LTC1872 develops a 0.8V reference voltage between
the feedback (Pin 3) terminal and ground (see Figure 4). 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:
 R2 
VOUT = 0.8V 1 + 
 R1 
105
where IPK is the peak inductor current and DC is the switch
duty cycle.
When using electrolytic output capacitors, if the ripple and
ESR requirements are met, there is likely to be far more
capacitance than required.
In surface mount applications, multiple capacitors may
have to be paralleled to meet the ESR or RMS current
handling requirements of the application. Aluminum electrolytic and dry tantalum capacitors are both available in
surface mount configurations. An excellent choice of
tantalum capacitors is the AVX TPS and KEMET T510
series of surface mount tantalum capacitors. Also,
ceramic capacitors in X5R pr X7R dielectrics offer excellent performance.
Low Supply Operation
Although the LTC1872 can function down to approximately 2.0V, the maximum allowable output current is
reduced when VIN decreases below 3V. Figure 3 shows the
amount of change as the supply is reduced down to 2V.
Also shown in Figure 3 is the effect of VIN on VREF as VIN
goes below 2.3V.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
For most applications, an 80k resistor is suggested for R1.
To prevent stray pickup, locate resistors R1 and R2 close
to LTC1872.
Efficiency Considerations
The efficiency of a switching regulator is equal to the
output power divided by the input power times 100%. It is
often useful to analyze individual losses to determine what
is limiting the efficiency and which change would produce
the most improvement. Efficiency can be expressed as:
Efficiency = 100% – (η1 + η2 + η3 + ...)
where η1, η2, etc. are the individual losses as a percentage of input power.
Although all dissipative elements in the circuit produce
losses, four main sources usually account for most of the
losses in LTC1872 circuits: 1) LTC1872 DC bias current,
2) MOSFET gate charge current, 3) I2R losses and 4)
voltage drop of the output diode.
1. The VIN current is the DC supply current, given in the
electrical characteristics, that excludes MOSFET driver
and control currents. VIN current results in a small loss
which increases with VIN.
2. MOSFET gate charge current results from switching
the gate capacitance of the power MOSFET. Each time
a MOSFET gate is switched from low to high to low
again, a packet of charge, dQ, moves from VIN to
ground. The resulting dQ/dt is a current out of VIN
which is typically much larger than the contoller’s DC
supply current. In continuous mode, IGATECHG = f(Qp).
3. I2R losses are predicted from the DC resistances of the
MOSFET, inductor and current sense resistor. The
MOSFET RDS(ON) multiplied by duty cycle times the
average output current squared can be summed with
I2R losses in the inductor ESR in series with the current
sense resistor.
4. The output diode is a major source of power loss at
high currents. The diode loss is calculated by multiplying the forward voltage by the load current.
5. Transition losses apply to the external MOSFET and
increase at higher operating frequencies and input
voltages. Transition losses can be estimated from:
Transition Loss = 2(VIN)2IIN(MAX)CRSS(f)
Other losses, including CIN and COUT ESR dissipative
losses, and inductor core losses, generally account for
less than 2% total additional loss.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
PC Board Layout Checklist
When laying out the printed circuit board, the following
checklist should be used to ensure proper operation of the
LTC1872. These items are illustrated graphically in the
layout diagram in Figure 5. Check the following in your
layout:
1. The Schottky diode should be closely connected
between the output capacitor and the drain of the
external MOSFET.
2. The (+) plate of CIN should connect to the sense
resistor as closely as possible. This capacitor provides
AC current to the inductor.
4. Connect the end of RSENSE as close to VIN (Pin 5) as
possible. The VIN pin is the SENSE + of the current
comparator.
5. The trace from SENSE – (Pin 4) to the Sense resistor
should be kept short. The trace should connect close
to RSENSE.
6. Keep the switching node NGATE away from sensitive
small signal nodes.
7. The VFB pin should connect directly to the feedback
resistors. The resistive divider R1 and R2 must be
connected between the (+) plate of COUT and signal
ground.
3. The input decoupling capacitor (0.1µF) should be
connected closely between VIN (Pin 5) and ground
(Pin 2).
