Low Supply Operation
VREF Although the controller can function down to approxi- 100 mately 2.0V, the maximum allowable output current is 95 VITH reduced when VIN decreases below 3V. Figure 3 shows the amount of change as the supply is reduced down to 2V. 90 Also shown in Figure 3 is the effect of VIN on VREF as VIN 85 goes below 2.3V. NORMALIZED VOLTAGE (%) 80

752.0 2.2 2.4 2.6 2.8 3.0 The controller develops a 0.8V reference voltage between INPUT VOLTAGE (V) the feedback (VFB) terminal and ground (see Figure 4). By 1874 F03 selecting resistor R1, a constant current is caused to flow through R1 and R2 to set the overall output voltage. The

regulated output voltage is determined by:  R2 V 0. V OUT = 8 1 +  R1 VOUT 1/2 LTC1874 R2 4 For most applications, an 80k resistor is suggested for R1. VFB1 To prevent stray pickup, locate resistors R1 and R2 close R1 3 to the LTC1874. GND1 1874F04
Foldback Current Limiting Figure 4. Setting Output Voltage
As described in the Output Diode Selection, the worst- case dissipation occurs with a short-circuited output when the diode conducts the current limit value almost continuously. To prevent excessive heating in the diode, 1/2 LTC1874 foldback current limiting can be added to reduce the VOUT current in proportion to the severity of the fault. R2 13 4 + I V TH/RUN1 FB1 DFB1 Foldback current limiting is implemented by adding di- R1 odes D 3 DFB2 FB1 and DFB2 between the output and the ITH/RUN GND1 pin as shown in Figure 5. In a hard short (VOUT = 0V), the 1874 F05 current will be reduced to approximately 50% of the maximum output current.
