FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
■
High Efficiency (No Sense Resistor Required)
Wide Input Voltage Range: 2.5V to 36V
Current Mode Control Provides Excellent
Transient Response
TheLTC®1871isawideinputrange, currentmode, boost,
flyback and SEPIC controller that drives an N-channel
power MOSFET and requires very few external compo-
nents. Intended for low to medium power applications, it
eliminates the need for a current sense resistor by utiliz-
ingthepowerMOSFET’son-resistance,therebymaximiz-
ing efficiency.

High Maximum Duty Cycle (92% Typ)
±2% RUN Pin Threshold with 100mV Hysteresis
±1% Internal Voltage Reference
Micropower Shutdown: IQ = 10µA
The IC’s operating frequency can be set with an external
resistorovera50kHzto1MHzrange, andcanbesynchro-
nized to an external clock using the MODE/SYNC pin.
Burst Mode operation at light loads, a low minimum
operating supply voltage of 2.5V and a low shutdown
quiescent current of 10µA make the LTC1871 ideally
suited for battery-operated systems.
Programmable Operating Frequency
(50kHz to 1MHz) with One External Resistor
Synchronizable to an External Clock Up to 1.3 × fOSC
User-Controlled Pulse Skip or Burst Mode® Operation
Internal 5.2V Low Dropout Voltage Regulator
Output Overvoltage Protection
Capable of Operating with a Sense Resistor for High
Output Voltage Applications
Small 10-Lead MSOP Package

For applications requiring constant frequency operation,
Burst Mode operation can be defeated using the MODE/
SYNC pin. Higher output voltage boost, SEPIC and fly-
back applications are possible with the LTC1871 by
connectingtheSENSEpintoaresistorinthesourceofthe
power MOSFET.
