APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Programming the Operating Frequency
The choice of operating frequency and inductor value is
a tradeoff between effi ciency and component size. Low
frequency operation improves effi ciency by reducing
MOSFET and diode switching losses. However, lower
frequency operation requires more inductance for a given
amount of load current.
The LTC1871 uses a constant frequency architecture that
can be programmed over a 50kHz to 1000kHz range with
a single external resistor from the FREQ pin to ground, as
shown in Figure 1. The nominal voltage on the FREQ pin is
0.6V, and the current that fl ows into the FREQ pin is used
to charge and discharge an internal oscillator capacitor. A
graph for selecting the value of R
frequency is shown in Figure 6.

An internal, P-channel low dropout voltage regulator pro-
duces the 5.2V supply which powers the gate driver and
logic circuitry within the LTC1871, as shown in Figure 7.
The INTV
bypassed to ground immediately adjacent to the IC pins
with a minimum of 4.7μF tantalum or ceramic capacitor.
Good bypassing is necessary to supply the high transient
currents required by the MOSFET gate driver.
For input voltages that don’t exceed 7V (the absolute
maximum rating for this pin), the internal low dropout
regulator in the LTC1871 is redundant and the INTV
can be shorted directly to the V
pin shorted to V

that require the lowest shutdown mode input supply cur-
rent, do not connect the INTV

necessary to have the driver circuitry bypassed with a
4.7μF tantalum or low ESR ceramic capacitor to ground
immediately adjacent to the INTV
In an actual application, most of the IC supply current is
used to drive the gate capacitance of the power MOSFET.
As a result, high input voltage applications in which a
large power MOSFET is being driven at high frequencies
can cause the LTC1871 to exceed its maximum junction
