FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LT®1680 is a high power, current mode switching
power supply controller optimized for boost topologies.
The IC drives N-channel MOSFET switches for DC/DC
converters in applications up to 60V input. A high current
gate drive output handles up to 10,000pF gate capaci-
tance, enabling the construction of high power DC/DC
converters. Current sense common mode range upto60V
allows current sensing to be referenced to the input
supply, eliminating the need for sense blanking circuits.

Sequencing and Protection
The LT1680 incorporates programmable average current
limiting allowing accurate limiting of DC current in the
magnetics, independent of ripple current . User adjustable
slope compensation provides stable operation at duty
cycles up to 90%.

APPLICATIONS
The LT1680 operating frequency is programmable and
can be synchronized up to 200kHz. Minimum off-time
operationprovidesswitchprotection. TheICalsoincorpo-
rates a soft start feature that is gated by both shutdown
and undervoltage lockout conditions.
