LT1270A/LT1270 8A and 10A High Efficiency Switching Regulators U FEATURES DESCRIPTIO The LT1270A/LT1270 are monolithic high power switching regulators. Identical to the popular LT1070, except for switching frequency (60kHz) and higher switch current, they can be operated in all standard switching configurations including buck, boost, flyback, and inverting. A high current, high efficiency switch is included on the die along with all oscillator, control, and protection circuitry. Integration of all functions allows the LT1270A/LT1270 to be built in a standard TO-220 power package. This makes it extremely easy to use and provides "bust proof" operation similar to that obtained with 3-pin linear regulators. Wide Input Voltage Range: 3.5V to 30V Low Quiescent Current: 7mA Internal 8A Switch (10A for LT1270A) Very Few External Parts Required Self-Protected Against Overloads Shutdown Mode Draws Only 100A Supply Current Flyback-Regulated Mode Has Fully Floating Outputs Can be Externally Synchronized (See LT1072 Data Sheet) Comes in Standard 5-Pin TO-220 Package U APPLICATIO S The LT1270A/LT1270 operate with supply voltages from 3.5V to 30V, and draw only 7mA quiescent current. By utilizing current-mode switching techniques, they provide excellent AC and DC load and line regulation. High Efficiency Buck Converter PC Power Supply with Multiple Outputs Battery Upconverter Negative-to-Positive Converter The LT1270A/LT1270 use adaptive anti-sat switch drive to allow very wide ranging load currents with no loss in efficiency. An externally activated shutdown mode reduces total supply current to 100A typical for standby operation. USER NOTE: This data sheet is only intended to provide specifications, graphs and a general functional description of the LT1270A/LT1270. Application circuits are included to show the capability of the LT1270A/LT1270. A complete design manual (AN-19) should be obtained to assist in developing new designs. AN-19 contains a comprehensive discussion of both the LT1070 and the external components used with it, as well as complete formulas for calculating the values of these components. AN-19 can also be used for the LT1270A/LT1270 by factoring in the higher switch current rating and higher operating frequency. A comprehensive CAD program called SwitcherCad is also available.
