is available to power PV

good results. The current drawn from this supply varies
with the MOSFETs used and the LTC1430A’s operating
frequency, but is generally less than 50mA.
LTC1430A designs that use a doubler charge pump to
generate gate drive for Q1 and run from PV
below 7V cannot provide enough gate drive voltage to fully
enhance standard power MOSFETs. When run from 5V, a
doubler circuit may work with standard MOSFETs, but the
MOSFET R
the FETs and costing efficiency. Logic level FETs are a
better choice for 5V PV
enhanced with a doubler charge pump and will operate at
maximum efficiency. Doubler designs running from PV
voltages near 4V will begin to run into efficiency problems
even with logic level FETs; such designs should be built
with tripler charge pumps (see Figure 7) or with newer,
super low threshold MOSFETs. Note that doubler charge
pump designs running from more than 7V and all tripler
charge pump designs should include a zener clamp diode

Once the threshold voltage has been selected, R

power dissipation and maximum required output current.
In a typical LTC1430A buck converter circuit operating in
