100 VOUT = 2.5V This lower frequency allows the inductor current to safely 95 discharge, thereby preventing current runaway. After the 90 VIN = 3.3V short is removed, the oscillator frequency will gradually 85 increase back to 550kHz as V 80 FB rises through 0.3V on its way back to 0.8V. 75 VIN = 4.2V 70 EFFICIENCY (%)

This comparator has a 3801 F02 typical hysteresis of 40mV.

The switch on duty cycle in normal operation is given by: To prevent operation of the external P-channel MOSFET with insufficient gate drive, an undervoltage lockout cir- V V Duty OUT + D Cycle = cuit is incorporated into the LTC3801/LTC3801B. When V + V IN D the input supply voltage drops below approximately 1.7V, where V the P-channel MOSFET and all internal circuitry other than D is the forward voltage drop of the external diode at the average inductor current.
