APPLICATIONS
LTC1877
mized to provide stable high performance transient
response regardless of the output capacitor selected.
ESR is a direct function of the volume of the capacitor.
Manufacturers such as Taiyo Yuden, AVX, Sprague, Kemet
and Sanyo should be considered for high performance
capacitors. The POSCAP solid electrolytic capacitor avail-
able from Sanyo is an excellent choice for output bulk
capacitors due to its low ESR/size ratio. Once the ESR
requirement for C
rating generally far exceeds the I
When using tantalum capacitors, it is critical that they are
surge tested for use in switching power supplies. A good
choice is the AVX TPS series of surface mount tantalum,
available in case heights ranging from 2mm to 4mm. Other
capacitor types include KEMET T510 and T495 series and
Sprague 593D and 595D series. Consult the manufacturer
for other specific recommendations.
Output Voltage Programming
The output voltage is set by a resistive divider according
to the following formula:
The external resistive divider is connected to the output,
allowing remote voltage sensing as shown in Figure 3.
Phase-Locked Loop and Frequency Synchronization
The LTC1877 has an internal voltage-controlled oscillator
and phase detector comprising a phase-locked loop. This
allows the top MOSFET turn-on to be locked to the rising
edge of an external frequency source. The frequency range
of the voltage-controlled oscillator is 400kHz to 700kHz.
The phase detector used is an edge sensitive digital type

The output of the phase detector is a pair of complemen-
tary current sources charging or discharging the external
filter network on the PLL LPF pin. The relationship
between the voltage on the PLL LPF pin and operating
frequency is shown in Figure 4. A simplified block diagram
is shown in Figure 5.
