APPLICATIONS
LTC1649
tors that work well in LTC1649 applications. A common
way to lower ESR and raise ripple current capability is to
parallel several capacitors. A typical LTC1649 application
might require an input capacitor with a 5A ripple current
capacity and 2% output shift with a 10A output load step,
which requires a 0.005 output capacitor ESR. Sanyo OS-
CON part number 10SA220M (220 F/10V) capacitors
feature 2.3A allowable ripple current at 85 C and 0.035
ESR; three in parallel at the input and seven at the output
will meet the above requirements.
Input Supply Considerations/Charge Pump
The LTC1649 requires four supply voltages to operate:
V

the internal charge pump at the V

properly. An internal charge pump uses the voltage at V
to generate a regulated 5V output at CP
