Low Supply Operation
The LTC1875 is designed to operate down to an input
Short-Circuit Protection
supply voltage of 2.65V although the maximum allowable When the output is shorted to ground, the frequency of output current is reduced at this low voltage. Figure 2 the oscillator is reduced to about 80kHz, 1/7 the nominal shows the reduction in the maximum output current as a frequency. This frequency foldback ensures that the in- function of input voltage. ductor current has more time to decay, thereby preventing Another important detail to remember is that at low input runaway. The oscillator’s frequency will progressively supply voltages, the R increase to 550kHz (or to the synchronized frequency) DS(ON) of the P-channel switch increases. Therefore, the user should calculate the power when VFB rises above 0.3V. dissipation when the LTC1875 is used at 100% duty cycle with low supply voltage (see Thermal Considerations in

The turn-on of the top MOSFET is synchronized to the rising edge of the 2000 external clock. VOUT = 1.5V When the LTC1875 is clocked by an external source, Burst 1500 Mode operation is disabled.

This prevents the external clock 1875 F02 from interfering with the frequency foldback for short- circuit protection.
