U OPERATION
Operation of the LT1300 is best understood by referring to the Block Diagram in Figure 1. When A1’s negative input, TRACE A 500mA/DIV related to the Sense pin voltage by the appropriate resis- ILIM PIN OPEN tor-divider ratio, is higher that the 1.25V reference voltage, A1’s output is low. A2, A3 and the oscillator are turned off, drawing no current. Only the reference and A1 consume TRACE B 500mA/DIV current, typically 120µA. When the voltage at A1’s nega- ILIM PIN GROUNDED tive input decreases below 1.25V, overcoming A1’s 6mV hysteresis, A1’s output goes high, enabling the oscillator, 20µs/DIV LT1300 F2 current comparator A2, and driver A3.

increases to 2mA as the device prepares for high current reduced by tying the ILIM pin to ground, causing 15µA to switching. Q1 then turns on in a controlled saturation for flow through R2 into Q3’s collector. Q3’s current causes (nominally) 5.3µs or until current comparator A2 trips, a 10.4mV drop in R2 so that only an additional 7.6mV is whichever comes first. After a fixed off-time of (nominally) required across R1 to turn off the switch. This corre- 1.2µs, Q1 turns on again. The LT1300’s switching causes sponds to a 400mA switch current as shown in Figure 2, current to alternately build up in L1 and dump into capaci- trace B.

Q2’s collector current is set by the emitter-area ratio to 0.6% VSW 5V/DIV of Q1’s collector current. When R1’s voltage drop exceeds 18mV, corresponding to 1A inductor current, A2’s output ISW goes high, truncating the on-time portion of the oscillator IA/DIV cycle and increasing off-time to about 2µs as shown in 20µS/DIV LT1300 F2 Figure 2, trace A.
