Foldback Current Limiting
As described in Power MOSFET and D1 Selection, the
worst-case dissipation for either MOSFET occurs with a
short-circuited output, when the synchronous MOSFET
conducts the current limit value almost continuously. In
most applications this will not cause excessive heating,
even for extended fault intervals. However, when heat
sinking is at a premium or higher R
being used, foldback current limiting should be added to
reduce the current in proportion to the severity of the fault.
Foldback current limiting is implemented by adding diode

current will be reduced to approximately 25% of the
maximum output current. This technique may be used for
all applications with regulated output voltages of 1.8V or
greater.
SFB Pin Operation
When the SFB pin drops below its ground referenced
1.19V threshold, continuous mode operation is forced. In
continuous mode, the large N-channel main and synchro-
nous switches are used regardless of the load on the main
output.
In addition to providing a logic input to force continuous
synchronous operation, the SFB pin provides a means to
regulate a flyback winding output. Continuous synchro-
nous operation allows power to be drawn from the auxil-
iary windings without regard to the primary output load.
The SFB pin provides a way to force continuous synchro-
nous operation as needed by the flyback winding.
The secondary output voltage is set by the turns ratio of the
transformer in conjunction with a pair of external resistors
returned to the SFB pin as shown in Figure 4a. The

Efficiency Considerations
The efficiency of a switching regulator is equal to the
output power divided by the input power times 100%. It is
often useful to analyze individual losses to determine what
is limiting the efficiency and which change would produce
the most improvement. Efficiency can be expressed as:
where L1, L2, etc. are the individual losses as a percentage
of input power.
Although all dissipative elements in the circuit produce
losses, four main sources usually account for most of the
losses in LTC1435 circuits. LTC1435 V
