APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
signal ground pin and the ground return of C
return to the combined C
tor circuitry, are the signal and power grounds kept
separate? The regulator signal ground pin must return to
the C
3. Does the path formed by the top N-Channel MOSFET
Schottky diode (D1, D2) and the C
leads and PC trace lengths? The output capacitor (–)
plates should be connected as close as possible to the
(–) plates of the input capacitor by placing the capacitors
next to each other and away from the Schottky loop
described above. Also, the path formed by the AUXSW
pins, Schottky diode (D3) and the C
have short leads and PC trace lengths. The C
tor (–) plates should be connected as close as possible to
AUXIN
(–) plates.

4. If the input supply to the boost regulator is obtain from
one of the other outputs, is this connection short (< 1cm)?
5. Do the LTC1876 V

decoupling capacitor should be as close as possible to the
LTC1876 SGND pin. A feedforward capacitor across R8
can be connected to enhance the transient response of the
boost regulator. The R2, R4 and R8 connections should
not be along the high current input feeds from the input
capacitor(s).
