The power switch, all oscillator and control circuitry, and all current limit components are included on the chip. The topology is a classic positive “buck” configuration but several design innovations allows this device to be used as a positive-to-negative converter, a negative boost converter, and as a flyback converter. The switch output is specified to swing below ground. As a result, dynamic behavior of the regulator is significantly improved over previous designs. On-chip pulse by pulse current limiting makes the LT1176 nearly bust-proof for output overloads or shorts. The LT1176 is available in a low cost 8-lead DIP package with frequency preset at 100kHz and current limit at 1.7A An adjustable output is offered as well as a preset 5V version.
