APPLICATIONS
For most applications, an 80k resistor is suggested for R1.
To prevent stray pickup, locate resistors R1 and R2 close
to LTC1872.
Efficiency Considerations
The efficiency of a switching regulator is equal to the
output power divided by the input power times 100%. It is
often useful to analyze individual losses to determine what
is limiting the efficiency and which change would produce
the most improvement. Efficiency can be expressed as:
where 1, 2, etc. are the individual losses as a percent-
age of input power.
Although all dissipative elements in the circuit produce
losses, four main sources usually account for most of the
losses in LTC1872 circuits: 1) LTC1872 DC bias current,
2) MOSFET gate charge current, 3) I
