Wide Input Voltage Range: 3.5V to 30V
Low Quiescent Current: 7mA

Very Few External Parts Required
Self-Protected Against Overloads
Available in Standard and Surface Mount
5-Pin Packages
Can Be Externally Synchronized
(See LT1072 Data Sheet)
The LT1268B and LT1268 are monolithic high power
switching regulators. Identical to the popular LT1070,
except for switching frequency (150kHz) and higher
switch current, they can be operated in all standard
switching configurations including buck, boost, flyback,
and inverting. A high current, high efficiency switch is
included on the die along with all oscillator, control, and
protection circuitry. Integration of all functions allows
the LT1268 to be built in standard 5-pin power packages.
This makes it extremely easy to use and provides “bust
proof” operations similar to that obtained with 3-pin
linear regulators.

The LT1268 operate with supply voltages from 3.5V to
30V and draw only 7mA quiescent current. By utilizing
current mode switching techniques, it provides excellent
AC and DC load and line regulation.
USER NOTE:
This data sheet is only intended to provide specifications, graphs, and a general functional
description of the LT1268B/LT1268. Application circuits are included to show the capability of the
LT1268B/LT1268. A complete design manual (AN19) should be obtained to assist in developing new
designs. This manual contains a comprehensive discussion of both the LT1070 and the external
components used with it, as well as complete formulas for calculating the values of these
components. The manual can also be used for the LT1268B/LT1268 factoring in the higher switch
current rating and higher operating frequency.
The LT1268 use an adaptive anti-sat switch drive to allow
very wide ranging load currents with no loss in efficiency.
An externally activated shutdown mode reduces total
supply current to 100µA typical for standby operation.

The ● denotes specifications which apply over the full operating
temperature range.
Note 1: Measured with VC in hi clamp, VFB = 0.8V.
Note 2: For duty cycles (DC) between 50% and 65%, minimum guaranteed
switch current is given by ILIM = 6.25 (1.7 – DC).
Note 3: Minimum current limit is reduced by 0.5A at 125°C. 100°C test
limits are guaranteed by correlation to 125°C tests.
Note 4: LT1268B reference voltage is specified at ±9mV to guarantee ±1%
output voltage accuracy when 0.1% external resistors are used to set
output voltage. To maintain output accuracy under load, load current
should be taken from the case and the ground pin should be connected
separately to output ground. See AN19 for details.
Note 5: The Q package is intended for surface mount without a separate
heat sink. See graph for thermal resistance as a function of the mounting
area. This curve assumes no other heat dissipators adjacent to package.
Note 6: Maximum switch current may be limited by package power
dissipation, especially for the surface mount (Q) package. This package
TYP
has a thermal resistance of 20°C/W to 50°C/W (see graph). The following
formula will allow an estimate of maximum continuous switch current as a
function of power loss and duty cycle. See AN19 for more details.
P
RSW × DC
IMAX =
P = Power dissipation due to switch current
RSW = Switch-ON resistance ≈ 0.15Ω
DC = Switch duty cycle
In a typical application where thermal resistance is 30°C/W, maximum
power might be limited to 2W and power allocated to switch loss is 1.5W.
For a duty cycle of 40%, this yields
1.5
= 5A
0.15 × 0.4
IMAX =
Obviously, a combination of high thermal resistance and high duty cycle
may restrict switch current to a value well below the 7.5A electrical limit.
