The basic LTC3772B application circuit is shown on the front However, for operation above 20% duty cycle, slope com- page of this data sheet. The load requirement drives the pensation has to be taken into consideration to select the selection of external components: the power MOSFET, appropriate value of RDS(ON) for the required amount of load inductor and output diode, as well as the input bypass current: capacitor CIN and output bypass capacitor COUT. 5 ∆V – SF SENSE MAX ( )
Power MOSFET Selection
RDS ON ( ) MAX ( ) = • 6 IOUT MAX ( ) An external P-channel power MOSFET must be selected for use with the LTC3772B. The main selection criteria for the where SF is a factor whose value is obtained from the curve power MOSFET are the threshold voltage V in Figure 1. GS(TH), the “on” resistance RDS(ON), reverse transfer capacitance CRSS and These must be further derated to take into account the total gate charge. significant variation in on-resistance with temperature. The Since the LTC3772B is designed for operation down to low following equation is a good guide for determining the input voltages, a sublogic level threshold MOSFET (R required RDS(ON)MAX at 25°C (manufacturer’s specifica- DS(ON) guaranteed at V tion), allowing some margin for variations in the LTC3772B GS = 2.5V) is required for applications that work close to this voltage. When these MOSFETs are used, and external component values: make sure that the input supply to the LTC3772B is less than 5 ∆V – SF the absolute maximum V SENSE MAX ( ) GS rating.
