LT3479
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Diode Selection Setting Negative Output Voltages
Schottky diodes, with their low forward voltage drop and To set a negative output voltage, select the values of R3 and fast switching speed, are ideal for LT3479 applications. R4 (see Figure 3) according to the following equation: Table 3 lists several Schottky diodes that work well with the ⎛ R3⎞ LT3479. The diode’s average current rating must exceed V – . 1 235V OUT = ⎜ ⎟ the average output current. The diode’s maximum reverse ⎝ R4⎠ voltage must exceed the output voltage. The diode conducts –VOUT current only when the power switch is turned off (typically R3 less than 50% duty cycle), so a 3A diode is suffi cient for FBP most designs. The companies below also offer Schottky LT3479 R4 diodes with high voltage and current ratings. VREF

Soft-Start
VREF R1 For many applications, it is necessary to minimize the FBN inrush current at start-up. The built-in soft-start circuit R2 signifi cantly reduces the start-up current spike and output 3479 F02 voltage overshoot. A typical value is 10nF for 1.65ms.
Figure 2. Positive Output Voltage Feedback Connections
Figure 5 shows the start-up output voltage and induc- tor current waveforms in a typical application without a soft-start capacitor. Notice the output voltage overshoot and the large initial current. The addition of a 22nF capaci- tor eliminates the output overshoot and reduces the peak inductor current (Figure 6). 3479fc 9
