OPERATIO
LT1304/LT1304-3.3/LT1304-5
If the full power capability of the LT1304 is not required,
peak switch current can be limited by connecting a resistor
R
switch current is reduced to approximately 500mA. Smaller
power components can then be used. The graph in Figure
6 shows switch current vs R
Layout/Input Bypassing
The LT1304’s high speed switching mandates careful
attention to PC board layout. Suggested component place-
ment is shown in Figure 7. The input supply must have low
impedance at AC and the input capacitor should be placed
as indicated in the figure. The value of this capacitor
depends on how close the input supply is to the IC. In
situations where the input supply is more than a few
inches away from the IC, a 47 F to 100 F solid tantalum

bypass capacitor is required. If the input supply is close to
the IC, a 1 F ceramic capacitor can be used instead. The
LT1304 switches current in 1A pulses, so a low impedance
supply must be available. If the power source (for example,
a 2 AA cell battery) is within 1 or 2 inches of the IC, the
battery itself provides bulk capacitance and the 1 F ce-
ramic capacitor acts to smooth voltage spikes at switch
turn-on and turn-off. If the power source is far away from
the IC, inductance in the power source leads results in high
impedance at high frequency. A local high capacitance
bypass is then required to restore low impedance at the IC.
Low-Battery Detector
The LT1304 contains an independent low-battery detector
that remains active when the device is shut down. This
detector, actually a hysteretic comparator, has an open
collector output that can sink up to 500 A. The compara-
tor also operates below the switcher’s undervoltage lock-
out threshold, operating until V
1.4V. Figure 8 illustrates the input/output characteristic of
the detector. Hysteresis is clearly evident in the figure.
