APPLICATIONS
Low Supply Operation
Although the LTC1772 can function down to approxi-
mately 2V, the maximum allowable output current is
reduced when V
amount of change as the supply is reduced down to 2V.
Also shown in Figure 3 is the effect of V
goes below 2.3V.
Setting Output Voltage
The LTC1772 develops a 0.8V reference voltage between
the feedback (Pin 3) terminal and ground (see Figure 4). By
selecting resistor R1, a constant current is caused to flow
through R1 and R2 to set the overall output voltage. The
regulated output voltage is determined by:
For most applications, an 80k resistor is suggested for R1.
To prevent stray pickup, locate resistors R1 and R2 close
to LTC1772.

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 η1, η2, 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 LTC1772 circuits: 1) LTC1772 DC bias current,
2) MOSFET gate charge current, 3) I

The diode loss is calculated by multiplying the forward
voltage times the diode duty cycle multiplied by the
load current. For example, assuming a duty cycle of
