Current Mode Boost,
Flyback and SEPIC Controller
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®1871 is a wide input range, current mode, boost,
flybackorSEPICcontrollerthatdrivesanN-channelpower
MOSFET and requires very few external components. In-
tendedforlowtomediumpowerapplications,iteliminates
theneedforacurrentsenseresistorbyutilizingthepower
MOSFET’s on-resistance, thereby maximizing efficiency.
FEATURES
n
High Efficiency (No Sense Resistor Required)
n
Wide Input Voltage Range: 2.5V to 36V
n
Current Mode Control Provides Excellent
Transient Response
n
High Maximum Duty Cycle (92% Typ)
n
2% RUN Pin Threshold with 100mV Hysteresis
n
1% Internal Voltage Reference
The IC’s operating frequency can be set with an external
resistor over a 50kHz to 1MHz range, and can be syn-
chronized 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
quiescentcurrentof10μAmaketheLTC1871ideallysuited
for battery-operated systems.

User-Controlled Pulse Skip or Burst Mode® Operation
Internal 5.2V Low Dropout Voltage Regulator
Output Overvoltage Protection
For applications requiring constant frequency opera-
tion, Burst Mode operation can be defeated using the
MODE/SYNC pin. Higher output voltage boost, SEPIC
and flyback applications are possible with the LTC1871
by connecting the SENSE pin to a resistor in the source
of the power MOSFET.
Capable of Operating with a Sense Resistor for
