LTC3873-5
OPERATION
VTURNON (nominally 4.1V) at least momentarily to enable (even at zero load current) and the regulator will start to LTC3873-5 operation. The VCC voltage is then allowed to fall skip cycles in order to maintain regulation. This behavior to VTURNOFF (nominally 2.9V) before undervoltage lockout allows the regulator to maintain constant frequency down disables the LTC3873-5. The RUN/SS pin can be driven to very light loads, resulting in low output ripple as well below VSHDN (nominally 0.7V) to force the LTC3873-5 into as low audible noise and reduced RF interference while shutdown. When the chip is off, the input supply current is providing high light load effi ciency. typically only 50μA. Keep in mind that VCC should exceed the gate threshold voltage of the switching MOSFET for

It is reduced with increasing duty cycle as shown limits the VITH. 3.3ms is required for ITH to ramp from in Figure 4. zero current level to full current level. The soft-start can 300 be lengthened by placing an external capacitor from the RUN/SS pin to the GND. A 3μA current will charge the 250 IPRG = HIGH capacitor, pulling the RUN/SS pin above the shutdown TAGE (mV) threshold and a 15μA pull-up current will continue to ramp 200 IPRG = FLOAT RUN/SS to limit VITH during the start-up. When RUN/SS 150 is driven by an external logic, a minimum of 2.75V logic IPRG = LOW is recommended to allow the maximum I 100 TH range. 50

As the load current decreases DUTY CYCLE (%) further, an internal offset at the current comparator input 3873-5 F04 will assure that the current comparator remains tripped
