Low frequency operation improves efficiency by reducing MOSFET and diode switching losses. However, lower frequency operation requires more inductance for a given amount of load current. The LTC1871 uses a constant frequency architecture that can be programmed over a 50kHz to 1000kHz range with a single external resistor from the FREQ pin to ground, as shown in Figure 1. The nominal voltage on the FREQ pin is 0.6V, and the current that flows into the FREQ pin is used to charge and discharge an internal oscillator capacitor. A graph for selecting the value of RT for a given operating frequency is shown in Figure 6. INTVCC Regulator Bypassing and Operation An internal, P-channel low dropout voltage regulator pro- duces the 5.2V supply which powers the gate driver and logic circuitry within the LTC1871, as shown in Figure 7. The INTVCC regulator can supply up to 50mA and must be bypassed to ground immediately adjacent to the IC pins with a minimum of 4.7μF tantalum or ceramic capacitor. Good bypassing is necessary to supply the high transient currents required by the MOSFET gate driver. For input voltages that don’t exceed 7V (the absolute maximum rating for this pin), the internal low dropout regulator in the LTC1871 is redundant and the INTVCC pin can be shorted directly to the VIN pin. With the INTVCC pin shorted to VIN, however, the divider that programs the regulated INTVCC voltage will draw 10μA of current from the input supply, even in shutdown mode. For applications that require the lowest shutdown mode input supply cur- rent, do not connect the INTVCC pin to VIN. Regardless of whether the INTVCC pin is shorted to VIN or not, it is always necessary to have the driver circuitry bypassed with a 4.7μF tantalum or low ESR ceramic capacitor to ground immediately adjacent to the INTVCC and GND pins. In an actual application, most of the IC supply current is used to drive the gate capacitance of the power MOSFET. As a result, high input voltage applications in which a large power MOSFET is being driven at high frequencies can cause the LTC1871 to exceed its maximum junction Figure 6.
