APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
C
In continuous mode, the source current of the top MOSFET
is a square wave of duty cycle (V
large voltage transients, a low ESR capacitor sized for the
maximum RMS current must be used. The maximum RMS
capacitor current is given by:
This formula has a maximum at V
= I
used for design because even signifi cant deviations do not
offer much relief. Note that capacitor manufacturers’ ripple
current ratings are often based on only 2000 hours of life.
This makes it advisable to further derate the capacitor, or
to choose a capacitor rated at a higher temperature than
required. Several capacitors may be paralleled to meet
size or height requirements in the design. Due to the high
operating frequency of the LTC3835, ceramic capacitors
can also be used for CIN. Always consult the manufacturer
if there is any question.

is satisfi ed, the capacitance is adequate for fi ltering. The

Setting Output Voltage
The LTC3835 output voltage is set by an external feed-
back resistor divider carefully placed across the output,
as shown in Figure 1. The regulated output voltage is

SENSE
The common mode input range of the current comparator
is from 0V to 10V. Continuous linear operation is provided
throughout this range allowing output voltages from 0.8V
to 10V. The input stage of the current comparator requires
that current either be sourced or sunk from the SENSE pins
depending on the output voltage, as shown in the curve in
Figure 2. If the output voltage is below 1.5V, current will
fl ow out of both SENSE pins to the main output. In these
cases, the output can be easily pre-loaded by the V
resistor divider to compensate for the current comparator’s
negative input bias current. Since V
