The LT®1271 and LT1269 are monolithic high power
switching regulators. Identical to the popular LT1070,
except for switching frequency (LT1271 = 60kHz, LT1269
= 100kHz) and slightly lower switch current, they can be
operated in all standard switching configurations includ-
ingbuck, boost, flybackandinverting. Ahighcurrent, high
efficiency switch is included on the die along with all
oscillator, control and protection circuitry. Integration of
all functions allows the LT1271/LT1269 to be built in a

The LT1271/LT1269 operate with supply voltages from
3.5V to 30V, and draw only 7mA quiescent current. By
utilizing current mode switching techniques, they pro-
vides excellent AC and DC load and line regulation.

USER NOTE:
A patented adaptive antisat switch drive allows very wide
ranging load currents with no loss in efficiency. An exter-
nally activated shutdown mode reduces total supply cur-
rent to 100µA typical for standby operation.
This data sheet is only intended to provide specifications, graphs, and a general functional
description of the LT1271/LT1269. Application circuits are included to show the capability of the
LT1271/LT1269. Acompletedesignmanual(AN-19)shouldbeobtainedtoassistindevelopingnew
designs. This manual contains a comprehensive discussion of both the LT1070 and the external
components used with it, as well as complete formulas for calculating the values of these
components. The manual can also be used for the LT1271/LT1269 by factoring in the higher switch
current rating and higher operating frequency.
