FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
The LT®1072 is a monolithic high power switching
regulator. It can be operated in all standard switching
configurations including buck, boost, flyback, forward,
inverting and “Cuk”. A high current, high efficiency switch
is included on the die along with all oscillator, control, and
protection circuitry. Integration of all functions allows the
LT1072 to be built in a standard 5-pin TO-3 or TO-220
power package as well as the 8-pin miniDlP. This makes it
extremelyeasytouseandprovides“bustproof”operation
similar to that obtained with 3-pin linear regulators.

U
TheLT1072operateswithsupplyvoltagesfrom3Vto60V,
and draws only 6mA quiescent current. It can deliver load
power up to 20 watts with no external power devices. By
utilizing current-mode switching techniques, it provides
excellent AC and DC load and line regulation.

■
Logic Supply 5V at 2.5A
5V Logic to ±15V Op Amp Supply

■
Offline Converter up to 50W
Battery Upconverter
■
The LT1072 has many unique features not found even on
the vastly more difficult to use low power control chips
presently available. It uses an adaptive anti-sat switch
drive to allow very wide ranging load currents with no loss
in efficiency. An externally activated shutdown mode
reduces total supply current to 50µA typical for standby
operation. Totally isolated and regulated outputs can be
generatedbyusingtheoptional“flybackregulationmode”
builtintotheLT1072, withouttheneedforoptocouplersor
extra transformer windings.

This data sheet is only intended to provide specifications, graphs, and a general functional
description of the LT1072. Application circuits are included to show the capability of the LT1072.
A complete design manual (AN-19) should be obtained to assist in developing new designs. This
manualcontainsacomprehensivediscussionofboththeLT1070andtheexternalcomponentsused
with it, as well as complete formulas for calculating the values of these components. The manual
can also be used for the LT1072 by factoring in the lower switch current rating.
