Wide Input Range,  
High Efficiency, Step-Down  
Switching Regulator

DESCRIPTION  
FEATURES  
The LT®1776 is a wide input range, high efficiency Buck  
(step-down) switching regulator. The monolithic die in-  
cludes all oscillator, control and protection circuitry. The  
part can accept input voltages as high as 60V and contains  
an output switch rated at 700mA peak current. Current  
mode control delivers excellent dynamic input supply  
rejection and short-circuit protection.  
Wide Input Range: 7.4V to 40V  
Tolerates Input Transients to 60V  
700mA Peak Switch Rating  
Adaptive Switch Drive Maintains Efficiency at High  
Load Without Pulse Skipping at Light Load  
True Current Mode Control  
200kHz Fixed Operating Frequency  
Synchronizable to 400kHz  
The LT1776 contains several features to enhance effi-  
ciency. The internal control circuitry is normally powered  
via the VCC pin, thereby minimizing power drawn directly  
from the VIN supply (see Applications Information). The  
action of the LT1776 switch circuitry is also load depen-  
dent. At medium to high loads, the output switch circuitry  
maintains fast rise time for good efficiency. At light loads,  
rise time is deliberately reduced to avoid pulse skipping  
behavior.  
Low Supply Current in Shutdown: 30µA

PIN FUNCTIONS  
SHDN (Pin 1): When pulled below the shutdown mode  
threshold, nominally0.30V, thispinturnsofftheregulator  
and reduces VIN input current to a few tens of microam-  
peres (shutdown mode).  
If the output capacitor is located more than one inch from  
the VCC pin, a separate 0.1µF bypass capacitor to ground  
may be required right at the pin.  
VSW (Pin 3): This is the emitter node of the output switch  
and has large currents flowing through it. This node  
moves at a high dV/dt rate, especially when in “boost”  
mode. Keep the traces to the switching components as  
short as possible to minimize electromagnetic radiation  
and voltage spikes.  
Whenthispinisheldabovetheshutdownmodethreshold,  
but below the lockout threshold, the part will be opera-  
tional with the exception that output switching action will  
be inhibited (lockout mode). A user-adjustable undervolt-  
age lockout can be implemented by driving this pin from  
an external resistor divider to VIN. This action is logically  
“ANDed” with the internal UVLO, set at nominally 6.7V,  
such that minimum VIN can be increased above 6.7V, but  
not decreased (see Applications Information).  
GND (Pin 4): This is the device ground pin. The internal  
reference and feedback amplifier are referred to it. Keep  
the ground path connection to the FB divider and the VC  
compensation capacitor free of large ground currents.  
If unused, this pin should be left open. However, the high  
impedance nature of this pin renders it susceptible to  
coupling from the high speed VSW node, so a small  
capacitor to ground, typically 100pF or so is recom-  
mended when the pin is left “open”.  
VIN (Pin 5): This is the high voltage supply pin for the  
outputswitch.Italsosuppliespowertotheinternalcontrol  
circuitry during start-up conditions or if the VCC pin is left  
open. A high quality bypass capacitor which meets the  
input ripple current requirements is needed here. (See  
Applications Information).  
VCC (Pin 2): This pin is used to power the internal control  
circuitry off of the switching supply output. Proper use of  
this pin enhances overall power supply efficiency. During  
start-up conditions, internal control circuitry is powered  
directly from VIN.  
SYNC (Pin 6): Pin used to synchronize internal oscillator  
to the external frequency reference. It is directly logic  
compatible and can be driven with any signal between

OPERATIO  
Fast positive-going slew rate action is provided by lateral  
PNP Q3 driving the Darlington arrangement of Q1 and Q2.  
The extra β available from Q2 greatly reduces the drive  
requirements of Q3.  
The LT1776 is a current mode switching regulator IC that  
has been optimized for high efficiency operation in high  
input voltage, low output voltage buck topologies. The  
Block Diagram shows an overall view of the system.  
Several of the blocks are straightforward and similar to  
those found in traditional designs, including: Internal Bias  
Regulator, Oscillator and Feedback Amplifier. The novel  
portion includes an elaborate Output Switch section and  
Logic Section to provide the control signals required by  
the switch section.  
Although desirable for dynamic reasons, this topology  
alone will yield a large DC forward voltage drop. A second  
lateral PNP, Q4, acts directly on the base of Q1 to reduce  
the voltage drop after the slewing phase has taken place.  
To achieve the desired high slew rate, PNPs Q3 and Q4 are  
“force-fed” packets of charge via the current sources  
controlled by the boost signal.  
The LT1776 operates much the same as traditional  
current mode switchers, the major difference being its  
specialized output switch section. Due to space con-  
straints, this discussion will not reiterate the basics of  
current mode switcher/controllers and the “buck” topol-  
ogy. A good source of information on these topics is  
Application Note 19.  
Please refer to the High dV/dt Mode Timing Diagram. A  
typical oscillator cycle is as follows: The logic section first  
generates an SWDR signal that powers up the current  
comparatorandallowsittimetosettle.About1µslater,the  
SWON signal is asserted and the BOOST signal is pulsed  
for a few hundred nanoseconds. After a short delay, the  
VSW pin slews rapidly to VIN. Later, after the peak switch  
current indicated by the control voltage VC has been  
reached (current mode control), the SWON and SWDR  
signals are turned off, and SWOFF is pulsed for several  
hundred nanoseconds. The use of an explicit turn-off  
device, i.e., Q5, improves turn-off response time and thus  
aids both controllability and efficiency.  
Output Switch Theory  
One of the classic problems in delivering low output  
voltage from high input voltage at good efficiency is that  
minimizing AC switching losses requires very fast volt-  
age (dV/dt) and current (dI/dt) transition at the output  
device. This is in spite of the fact that in a bipolar  
implementation, slow lateral PNPs must be included in  
the switching signal path.

OPERATIO  
The system as previously described handles heavy loads  
(continuous mode) at good efficiency, but it is actually  
counterproductive for light loads. The method of jam-  
ming charge into the PNP bases makes it difficult to turn  
them off rapidly and achieve the very short switch ON  
times required by light loads in discontinuous mode.  
Furthermore, the high leading edge dV/dt rate similarly  
adversely affects light load controllability.  
signal alone, drives Q4 and this transistor drives Q1 by  
itself. The absence of a boost pulse, plus the lack of a  
second NPN driver, result in a much lower slew rate which  
aids light load controllability.  
A further aid to overall efficiency is provided by the  
specialized bias regulator circuit, which has a pair of  
inputs, VIN and VCC. The VCC pin is normally connected to  
the switching supply output. During start-up conditions,  
the LT1776 powers itself directly from VIN. However, after  
the switching supply output voltage reaches about 2.9V,  
the bias regulator uses this supply as its input. Previous  
generation buck controller ICs without this provision  
typically required hundreds of milliwatts of quiescent  
power when operating at high input voltage. This both  
degraded efficiency and limited available output current  
due to internal heating.  
The solution is to employ a “boost comparator” whose  
inputs are the VC control voltage and a fixed internal  
threshold reference, VTH. (Remember that in a current  
mode switching topology, the VC voltage determines the  
peak switch current.) When the VC signal is above VTH, the  
previously described “high dV/dt” action is performed.  
When the VC signal is below VTH, the boost pulses are  
absent, as can be seen in the Low dV/dt Mode Timing  
Diagram. Now the DC current, activated by the SWON

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
For example, substituting 40V, 5V, 200mA and 200kHz  
respectively for VIN, VOUT, IPK and f yields a value of about  
100µH. Notethatthelefthalfofthisexpressionisindepen-  
dent of input voltage while the right half is only a weak  
function of VIN when VIN is much greater than VOUT. This  
means that a single inductor value will work well over a  
range of “high” input voltage. And although a progres-  
sively smaller inductor is suggested as VIN begins to  
approach VOUT, note that the much higher ON duty cycles  
under these conditions are much more forgiving with  
respect to controllability and efficiency issues. Therefore  
when a wide input voltage range must be accommodated,  
say 10V to 40V for 5VOUT, the user should choose an  
inductance value based on the maximum input voltage.  
Selecting a Power Inductor  
There are several parameters to consider when selecting  
a power inductor. These include inductance value, peak  
current rating (to avoid core saturation), DC resistance,  
construction type, physical size, and of course, cost.  
Inatypicalapplication,properinductancevalueisdictated  
bymatchingthediscontinuous/continuouscrossoverpoint  
withtheLT1776internallow-to-highdV/dtthreshold. This  
is the best compromise between maintaining control with  
light loads while maintaining good efficiency with heavy  
loads. The fixed internal dV/dt threshold has a nominal  
value of 1.4V, which referred to the VC pin threshold and  
control voltage to switch transconductance, corresponds  
to a peak current of about 200mA. Standard buck con-  
verter theory yields the following expression for induc-  
tance at the discontinuous/continuous crossover:  
Once the inductance value is decided, inductor peak  
current rating and resistance need to be considered. Here,  
the inductor peak current rating refers to the onset of  
saturation in the core material, although manufacturers  
sometimes specify a “peak current rating” which is de-  
rived from a worst-case combination of core saturation  
andself-heatingeffects.Inductorwindingresistancealone

limits the inductor’s current carrying capability as the I2R  
power threatens to overheat the inductor. If applicable,  
remember to include the condition of output short circuit.  
Although the peak current rating of the inductor can be  
exceeded in short-circuit operation, as core saturation per  
se is not destructive to the core, excess resistive self-  
heating is still a potential problem.

enough, damage the IC itself.  
Selecting Bypass Capacitors  
The basic topology as shown in Figure 1 uses two bypass  
capacitors, one for the VIN input supply and one for the  
VOUT output supply.  
The final inductor selection is generally based on cost,  
which usually translates into choosing the smallest physi-  
cal size part that meets the desired inductance value,  
resistance and current carrying capability. An additional  
factor to consider is that of physical construction. Briefly  
stated, “open” inductors built on a rod- or barrel-shaped  
core generally offer the smallest physical size and lowest  
cost. However their open construction does not contain  
the resulting magnetic field, and they may not be accept-  
able in RFI-sensitive applications. Toroidal style induc-  
tors, many available in surface mount configuration, offer  
improved RFI performance, generally at an increase in  
cost and physical size. And although custom design is  
always a possibility, most potential LT1776 applications  
can be handled by the array of standard, off-the-shelf  
inductor products offered by the major suppliers.  
User selection of an appropriate output capacitor is rela-  
tivelyeasy,asthiscapacitorseesonlytheACripplecurrent  
in the inductor. As the LT1776 is designed for buck or  
step-down applications, output voltage will nearly always  
be compatible with tantalum type capacitors, which are  
generally available in ratings up to 35V or so. These  
tantalum types offer good volumetric efficiency and many  
areavailablewithspecifiedESRperformance.Theproduct  
ofinductorACripplecurrentandoutputcapacitorESRwill  
manifestitselfaspeak-to-peakvoltagerippleontheoutput  
node. (Note: If this ripple becomes too large, heavier  
control loop compensation, at least at the switching fre-  
quency, may be required on the VC pin.) The most de-  
manding applications, requiring very low output ripple,  
may be best served not with a single extremely large  
output capacitor, but instead by the common technique of  
a separate L/C lowpass post filter in series with the output.  
(In this case, “Two caps are better than one”.)  
Selecting Freewheeling Diode  
HighestefficiencyoperationrequirestheuseofaSchottky  
type diode. DC switching losses are minimized due to its  
low forward voltage drop, and AC behavior is benign due  
to its lack of a significant reverse recovery time. Schottky  
diodes are generally available with reverse voltage ratings  
of60Vandeven100V,andarepricecompetitivewithother  
types.  
The input bypass capacitor is normally a more difficult  
choice. In a typical application e.g., 40VIN to 5VOUT  
,
relatively heavy VIN current is drawn by the power switch  
for only a small portion of the oscillator period (low ON  
duty cycle). The resulting RMS ripple current, for which  
the capacitor must be rated, is often several times the DC  
average VIN current. Similarly, the “glitch” seen on the VIN  
supply as the power switch turns on and off will be related  
to the product of capacitor ESR, and the relatively high  
instantaneous current drawn by the switch. To compound  
these problems is the fact that most of these applications  
will be designed for a relatively high input voltage, for  
whichtantalumcapacitorsaregenerallyunavailable.Rela-  
tively bulky “high frequency” aluminum electrolytic types,  
specifically constructed and rated for switching supply  
applications, may be the only choice.  
The use of so-called “ultrafast” recovery diodes is gener-  
ally not recommended. When operating in continuous  
mode, the reverse recovery time exhibited by “ultrafast”  
diodes will result in a slingshot type effect. The power  
internalswitchwillrampupVIN currentintothediodeinan  
attempt to get it to recover. Then, when the diode has  
finallyturnedoff,sometensofnanosecondslater,theVSW  
node voltage ramps up at an extremely high dV/dt, per-  
haps 5 to even 10V/ns! With real world lead inductances,  
the VSW node can easily overshoot the VIN rail. This can

Input Voltage vs Operating Frequency Considerations  
resulting ramping current behavior helps overdrive the  
current comparator (current mode switching) and reduce  
its propagation delay, hastening output switch turnoff.  
Second, and more importantly, actual power supply op-  
eration involves a feedback amplifier that adjusts the VC  
nodecontrolvoltagetomaintainproperoutputvoltage. As  
progressively shorter ON times are required, the feedback  
loop acts to reduce VC, and the resulting overdrive further  
reduces the propagation delay in the current comparator.  
Asuggestedworst-caselimitforminimumswitchONtime  
in actual operation is 350ns.  
TheabsolutemaximuminputsupplyvoltagefortheLT1776  
is specified at 60V. This is based solely on internal semi-  
conductor junction breakdown effects. Due to internal  
power dissipation, the actual maximum VIN achievable in  
a particular application may be less than this.  
A detailed theoretical basis for estimating internal power  
loss is given in the section, Thermal Considerations. Note  
that AC switching loss is proportional to both operating  
frequency and output current. The majority of AC switch-  
ing loss is also proportional to the square of input voltage.  
A potential controllability problem arises if the LT1776 is  
called upon to produce an ON time shorter than its ability.  
Feedback loop action will lower then reduce the VC control  
voltage to the point where some sort of cycle-skipping or  
odd/even cycle behavior is exhibited.  
For example, while the combination of VIN = 40V, VOUT  
=
5V at 500mA and fOSC = 200kHz may be easily achievable,  
simultaneously raising VIN to 60V and fOSC to 400kHz is  
not possible. Nevertheless, input voltage transients up to  
60V can usually be accommodated, assuming the result-  
ing increase in internal dissipation is of insufficient time  
duration to raise die temperature significantly.  
In summary:  
1. Be aware that the simultaneous requirements of high  
VIN, high IOUT and high fOSC may not be achievable in  
practice due to internal dissipation. The Thermal Con-  
siderations section offers a basis to estimate internal  
power.Inquestionablecasesaprototypesupplyshould  
be built and exercised to verify acceptable operation.  
A second consideration is controllability. A potential limi-  
tation occurs with a high step-down ratio of VIN to VOUT  
asthisrequiresacorrespondinglynarrowminimumswitch  
ON time. An approximate expression for this (assuming  
continuous mode operation) is given as follows:  
,
2. The simultaneous requirements of high VIN, low VOUT  
and high fOSC can result in an unacceptably short  
minimum switch ON time. Cycle skipping and/or odd/  
even cycle behavior will result although correct output  
voltage is usually maintained.

Minimum Load Considerations  
As discussed previously, a lightly loaded LT1776 with VC  
pin control voltage below the boost threshold will operate  
in low dV/dt mode. This affords greater controllability at  
light loads, as minimum tON requirements are relaxed.  
It is important to understand the nature of minimum  
switch ON time as given in the data sheet. This test is  
intended to mimic behavior under short-circuit condi-  
tions. It is performed with the VC control voltage at its  
clamp level (VCL) and uses a fixed resistive load from VSW  
to ground for simplicity. The resulting ON time behavior is  
overconservative as a general operating design value for  
two reasons. First, actual power supply application cir-  
cuits present an inductive load to the VSW node. The  
However, some users may be indifferent to pulse skipping  
behavior, but instead may be concerned with maintaining  
maximum possible efficiency at light loads. This require-

output controls the shutdown pin allows high efficiency at  
light loads through Burst Mode operation behavior (see  
Typical Applications and Figure 8).  
The solution to this dilemma is to slow down the oscillator  
when the FB pin voltage is abnormally low thereby indicat-  
ing some sort of short-circuit condition. Figure 2 shows  
the typical response of Oscillator Frequency vs FB divider  
Thevenin voltage and impedance. Oscillator frequency is  
unaffecteduntilFBvoltagedropstoabout2/3ofitsnormal  
value. Below this point the oscillator frequency decreases  
roughly linearly down to a limit of about 30kHz. This lower  
oscillator frequency during short-circuit conditions can  
thenmaintaincontrolwiththeeffectiveminimumONtime.  
Maximum Load/Short-Circuit Considerations  
The LT1776 is a current mode controller. It uses the VC  
node voltage as an input to a current comparator which  
turns off the output switch on a cycle-by-cycle basis as  
this peak current is reached. The internal clamp on the VC  
node, nominally 2V, then acts as an output switch peak  
current limit. This action becomes the switch current limit  
specification. The maximum available output power is  
then determined by the switch current limit.  
A further potential problem with short-circuit operation  
might occur if the user were operating the part with its  
oscillator slaved to an external frequency source via the  
SYNC pin. However, the LT1776 has circuitry that auto-  
matically disables the sync function when the oscillator is  
slowed down due to abnormally low FB voltage.  
A potential controllability problem could occur under  
short-circuit conditions. If the power supply output is  
short circuited, the feedback amplifier responds to the low  
output voltage by raising the control voltage, VC, to its  
peak current limit value. Ideally, the output switch would  
be turned on, and then turned off as its current exceeded  
thevalueindicatedbyVC.However,thereisfiniteresponse  
time involved in both the current comparator and turnoff  
of the output switch. These result in a minimum ON time  
tON(MIN). When combined with the large ratio of VIN to  
(VF + I • R), the diode forward voltage plus inductor I • R  
voltage drop, the potential exists for a loss of control.

of efficiency—a higher resistance feedback divider will  
waste less power and offer somewhat higher efficiency,  
especially at light load.  
I • R = inductor I • R voltage drop  
If this condition is not observed, the current will not be  
limited at IPK, but will cycle-by-cycle ratchet up to some  
higher value. Using the nominal LT1776 clock frequency  
of 200KHz, a VIN of 40V and a (VF + I • R) of say 0.7V, the  
maximum tON to maintain control would be approximately  
90ns, an unacceptably short time.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
However, remember that oscillator slowdown to achieve  
short-circuit protection (discussed above) is dependent  
on FB pin behavior, and this in turn, is sensitive to FB node  
external impedance. Figure 2 shows the typical relation-  
ship between FB divider Thevenin voltage and impedance,  
and oscillator frequency. This shows that as feedback  
network impedance increases beyond 10k, complete os-  
cillator slowdown is not achieved, and short-circuit pro-  
tection may be compromised. And as a practical matter,  
the product of FB pin bias current and larger FB network  
impedances will cause increasing output voltage error.  
(Nominal cancellation for 10k of FB Thevenin impedance  
is included internally.)

Frequency Compensation  
Loop frequency compensation is performed by connect-  
ing a capacitor, or in most cases a series RC, from the  
output of the error amplifier (VC pin) to ground. Proper  
loop compensation may be obtained by empirical meth-  
ods as described in detail in Application Note 19. Briefly,  
this involves applying a load transient and observing the  
dynamic response over the expected range of VIN and  
ILOAD values.  
Thermal Considerations  
Care should be taken to ensure that the worst-case input  
voltage and load current conditions do not cause exces-  
sive die temperatures. The packages are rated at 110°C/W  
for the 8-pin SO (S8) and 130°C/W for 8-pin PDIP (N8).  
Quiescent power is given by:  
As a practical matter, a second small capacitor, directly  
from the VC pin to ground is generally recommended to  
attenuate capacitive coupling from the VSW pin. A typical  
value for this capacitor is 100pF. (See Switch Node Con-

(This assumes that the VCC pin is connected to VOUT.)  
Power loss internal to the LT1776 related to actual output siderations).  
current is composed of both DC and AC switching losses.  
Switch Node Considerations  
These can be roughly estimated as follows:  
For maximum efficiency, switch rise and fall times are  
made as short as practical. To prevent radiation and high  
frequency resonance problems, proper layout of the com-  
ponents connected to the IC is essential, especially the  
DC switching losses are dominated by output switch “ON  
voltage”, i.e.,  
PDC = VON • IOUT • DC  
VON = Output switch ON voltage, typically 1V at 500mA power path. B field (magnetic) radiation is minimized by  
IOUT = Output current  
DC = ON duty cycle  
keeping output diode, switch pin and input bypass capaci-  
tor leads as short as possible. E field radiation is kept low  
by minimizing the length and area of all traces connected  
to the switch pin (VSW). A ground plane should always be  
used under the switcher circuitry to prevent interplane  
coupling.  
AC switching losses are typically dominated by power lost  
due to the finite rise time and fall time at the VSW node.  
Assuming, for simplicity, a linear ramp up of both voltage  
and current and a current rise/fall time equal to 15ns,

essential to ensure clean switching and minimal EMI. The  
paths containing the input capacitor, output switch and  
outputdiodearetheonlyonescontainingnanosecondrise  
and fall times. Keep these paths as short as possible.  
As an example, assume that the capacitance between the  
V
SW node and a high impedance pin node is 0.1pF, and  
further assume that the high impedance node in question  
exhibits a capacitance of 1pF to ground. Due to the high  
dV/dt, large excursion behavior of the VSW node, this will  
couple a nearly 4V transient to the high impedance pin,  
causing abnormal operation. (This assumes the “typical”  
40VIN to 5VOUT application.) An explicit 100pF capacitor  
added to the node will reduce the amplitude of the distur-  
bance to more like 50mV (although settling time will  
increase).

VC: Add a capacitor directly to ground in addition to the  
explicit compensation network. A value of one-tenth of  
the main compensation capacitor is recommended, up  
to a maximum of 100pF.  
Additionally, it is possible for the LT1776 to cause EMI  
problems by “coupling to itself”. Specifically, this can  
occur if the VSW pin is allowed to capacitively couple in an  
uncontrolled manner to the part’s high impedance nodes,  
i.e., SHDN, SYNC, VC and FB. This can cause erratic  
operation such as odd/even cycle behavior, pulse width  
“nervousness”, improper output voltage and/or prema-  
ture current limit action.  
FB: Assuming the VC pin is handled properly, this pin  
usually requires no explicit capacitor of its own, but  
keep this node physically small to minimize stray  
capacitance.

chosen to be significantly above the SHDN pin input  
current to minimize its error contribution, but signifi-  
cantly below the typical 3.8mA the LT1776 draws in  
lockout mode. Resistor R4 is then chosen to yield this  
same 200µA, less 2.5µA, with the desired VIN UVLO  
voltage minus 1.25V applied across it. (The 2.5µA factor  
is an allowance to minimize error due to SHDN pin input  
current.)  
Figure 4a employs power path parts that are capable of  
delivering the full rated output capability of the LT1776.  
Potential users with low output current requirements may  
be interested in substituting a physically smaller and less  
costly power inductor. The circuit shown in Figure 6a is  
topologically identical to the basic application, but speci-  
fies a much smaller inductor. This circuit is capable of  
deliveringupto400mAat5V, or, upto500mAat3.3V. The  
only disadvantage is that due to the increased resistance  
in the inductor, the circuit is no longer capable of with-  
standing indefinite short circuits to ground. The LT1776  
will still current limit at its nominal ILIM value, but this will  
overheat the inductor. Momentary short circuits of a few  
seconds or less can still be tolerated. Typical efficiency is  
shown in Figure 6b.  
Behaviorisasfollows:Normaloperationisobservedatthe  
nominal input voltage of 40V. As the input voltage is  
decreasedtoroughly32V, switchingactionwillstop, VOUT  
will drop to zero, and the LT1776 will draw its VIN and VCC  
quiescent currents from the VIN supply. At a much lower  
input voltage, typically 14V or so at 25°C, the voltage on  
the SHDN pin will drop to the shutdown threshold, and the  
part will draw its shutdown current only from the VIN rail.  
The resistive divider of R4 and R5 will continue to draw  
power from VIN. (The user should be aware that while the  
SHDN pin lockout threshold is relatively accurate includ-  
ing temperature effects, the SHDN pin shutdown thresh-  
old is more coarse, and exhibits considerably more  
temperature drift. Nevertheless the shutdown threshold  
will always be well below the lockout threshold.)

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS  
micropower behavior, which helps maintain good overall  
efficiency. However, the basic catalog part is only rated to  
30V. Substitution of the industry standard LM317, for  
example, extends the allowable input voltage to 40V (or  
more with the HV part), but its greater quiescent current  
drain degrades efficiency from that shown.  
Figure 7b shows that efficiency is typically maintained at  
75% or better down to a load current of 10mA. Even at a  
load of 1mA, efficiency is still a respectable 58% to 68%,  
depending on VIN.  
Resistor divider R1/R2 is still present, but does not  
directly influence output voltage. It is chosen to ensure  
that the LT1776 delivers high output current throughout  
the voltage regulation range. Its presence is also required  
to maintain proper short-circuit protection. Transistors  
Q1, Q2 and resistor R7 form a high VIN, low quiescent  
current voltage regulator to power U2.  
A related concern in charger applications is the current  
drain seen at the battery when charger power is removed.  
Strictly speaking, this can occur in three separate ways:  
the VIN supply can go to zero (VIN = short circuit), the VIN  
supply can be disconnected (VIN = open circuit) or the  
SHDN function can be asserted. The worst-case is gener-  
ally VIN = 0V, and this situation will be assumed.  
Wide VIN Range, High Efficiency Battery Charger  
The circuit on the final page of this data sheet shows the  
LT1776 configured as a constant-current/constant-volt-  
age battery charger. An LT1620 rail-to-rail, current sense  
amplifier (U2) monitors the differential voltage across  
current sense resistor R4. As this equals and exceeds the  
voltage set across resistor R5 in the R5/R6 divider, the  
LT1620 responds by sinking current at its IOUT pin. This is  
connected to the VC control node of the LT1776 and  
therefore acts to reduce the amount of power delivered to  
the load. The overall constant-current/constant-voltage  
behavior can be seen in the graph titled Battery Charger  
Output Voltage vs Output Current.  
A diode is then required in the battery charger power path  
to prevent reverse current flow. There are three logical  
places for this diode. The first is directly in series with the  
VSW node. This has the advantage of smallest efficiency  
penalty, as the diode forward drop subtracts from the  
input voltage. A disadvantage is that the battery must still  
power the LT1776 VCC pin, yielding a current drain of  
several mA. In this position the diode is called upon to  
switchonandoffrapidly,soaSchottkytype,similartothat  
used as the freewheeling diode (D1), is recommended.  
Placing the diode between output filter capacitor C2 and  
feedback divider R1/R2 limits the current drain to only the  
current drawn by the feedback divider, perhaps 100µA or  
so. However, the efficiency penalty is greater, as the diode  
forward drop is now in series with the output voltage.  
Whenabsoluteminimalbatterydrainisrequired,thediode  
may be placed between the R1/R2 feedback divider and  
the battery itself. This limits current drain to just the  
reverse leakage of the diode. In this case the feedback  
divider must be adjusted for the nominal forward drop of  
thediode.Ineitherofthesepositions,aSchottkydiodewill  
offer the least efficiency penalty, but a standard silicon  
diode can be used in the most cost sensitive applications.  
Target voltage and current limits are independently pro-  
grammable. Output voltage, presently 6V, is set by the  
R1/R2 divider and the internal reference of the LT1776.  
Output current, presently 200mA, is set by current sense  
resistor R4 and the R5-R6 divider.  
The circuit, as shown, accommodates an input voltage  
range of 10V to 30V. The accompanying graphs display  
efficiency for input voltages of 12V and 24V. The upper  
inputvoltagelimitof30VisdeterminednotbytheLT1776,  
but by the LT1121-5 regulator (U3). (A regulated 5V is
