U OPERATIO (Refer to Functional Diagram)
The main control loop is shut down by pulling Pin 2 (RUN/ continuous operation and assists in controlling voltage SS) low. Releasing RUN/SS allows an internal 1.2µA regulation. If the output voltage is not within 7.5% of its current source to charge soft-start capacitor CSS. When nominal value the PGOOD open-drain output will be CSS reaches 1.5V, the main control loop is enabled with the pulled low and Burst Mode operation will be disabled.

If and can lock to a frequency between 90% and 130% of its the output voltage falls to less than 70% of its nominal nominal rate set by capacitor C output voltage, C OSC. SS begins discharging on the assumption that the output is in an overcurrent and/or short-circuit An overvoltage comparator OV guards against transient condition. If the condition lasts for a long enough period overshoots (> 7.5%) as well as other more serious as determined by the size of the C conditions that may overvoltage the output. In this case, SS, the controller will be shut down until the RUN/SS pin voltage is recycled.

Burst Mode operation is selected when Power for the top and bottom MOSFET drivers and most the PGOOD pin is above 0.8V (typically tied through a of the internal circuitry of the LTC1735-1 is derived from resistor to INTV the INTV CC). During Burst Mode operation, if the CC pin. When the EXTVCC pin is left open, an error amplifier drives the I internal 5.2V low dropout regulator supplies the INTV TH voltage below 0.86V, the CC buffered I power from V TH input to the current comparator will be IN. If EXTVCC is raised above 4.7V, the clamped at 0.86V. The inductor current peak is then held internal regulator is turned off and an internal switch at approximately 20mV/R connects EXTV SENSE (about 1/4 of maximum CC to INTVCC. This allows a high efficiency output current). If I source, such as the primary or a secondary output of the TH then drops below 0.5V, the Burst Mode comparator B will turn off both MOSFETs to maxi- converter itself, to provide the INTVCC power.

TH rises above the 60mV hysteresis of the comparator and switching is resumed. To provide clean start-up and to protect the MOSFETs, Burst Mode operation is disabled by comparator F when undervoltage lockout is used to keep both MOSFETs off the PGOOD pin is brought below 0.8V. This forces until the input voltage is above 3.5V. 9
