LT1794 UUWUAPPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO SHDN outputs are in a high impedance state. Part to part varia- tions however, will cause inconsistent control of the qui- 5I 2k escent current if direct voltage drive of the SHDN pin is used. I 2I 2I Using a single external resistor, RBIAS, connected in one of two ways provides a much more predictable control of the quiescent supply current. Figure 2 illustrates the effect on 1k supply current per amplifier with R TO BIAS connected be- START-UP tween the SHDN pin and the 12V V+ supply of the LT1794 CIRCUITRY IBIAS TO AMPLIFIERS and the approximate design equations. Figure 3 illustrates BIAS CIRCUITRY SHDNREF 1794 F01 the same control with RBIAS connected between the 2 IBIAS = ISHDN = ISHDNREF SHDNREF pin and ground while the SHDN pin is tied to V+. 5 ISUPPLY PER AMPLIFIER (mA) = 64 • IBIAS Either approach is equally effective.
