DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®1041 is a monolithic CMOS BANG-BANG
controller manufactured using Linear Technology’s
enhanced LTCMOS™ silicon gate process. BANG-BANG
loops are characterized by turning the control element
fully ON or fully OFF to regulate the average value of
the parameter to be controlled. The SET POINT input
determines the average control value and the DELTA input
sets the deadband. The deadband is always 2 x DELTA and
is centered around the SET POINT. Independent control
of the SET POINT and deadband, with no interaction, is
made possible by the unique sampling input structure of
the LTC1041.

An external RC connected to the OSC pin sets the sampling
rate. At the start of each sample, internal power to the
analog section is switched on for ≈ 80µs. During this time,
the analog inputs are sampled and compared. After the
comparison is complete, power is switched off. This
achieves extremely low average power consumption
at low sampling rates. CMOS logic holds the output
continuously while consuming virtually no power.

To keep system power at an absolute minimum, a switched
power output (VP-P) is provided. External loads, such as
bridge networks and resistive dividers, can be driven by
this switched output.
The output logic sense (i.e., ON = V+) can be reversed
(i.e., ON = GND) by interchanging the VIN and SET POINT
inputs. This has no other effect on the operation of
the LTC1041.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
The LTC1041 uses sampled data techniques to achieve
its unique characteristics. It consists of two comparators,
each of which has two differential inputs (Figure 1a).
When the sum of the voltages on a comparator’s inputs is
positive, the output is high and when the sum is negative,
the output is low. The inputs are interconnected such that
the R S flip-flop is reset (ON/OFF = GND) when
VIN > (SET POINT + DELTA) and is set (ON/OFF = V+) when
VIN < (SET POINT – DELTA). This makes a very precise
hysteresis loop of 2 • DELTA centered around the
SET POINT. (See Figure 1b.)

Figure 2. Equivalent Input Circuit
RS • CIN. The ability to fully charge CIN from the signal
source during the controller’s active time is critical in
determining errors caused by the input charging current.
For source resistances less than 10kΩ, CIN fully charges
and no error is caused by the charging current.
For RS > 10kΩ
For source resistances greater than 10kΩ, CIN cannot fully
charge, causing voltage errors. To minimize these errors,
an input bypass capacitor, CS, should be used. Charge is
shared between CIN and CS, causing a small voltage error.
The magnitude of this error is AV = VIN • CIN (CIN + CS). This
error can be made arbitrarily small by increasing CS.
The averaging effect of the bypass capacitor, CS, causes
another error term. Each time the input switches cycle
between the plus and minus inputs, CIN is charged and
discharged. The average input current due to this is
IAVG = VIN • CIN • fS, where fS is the sampling frequency.
Because the input current is directly proportional to the
differential input voltage, the LTC1041 can be said to have
an average input resistance of RIN = VIN/IAVG = I/(fS • CIN).
Since two comparator inputs are connected in parallel, RIN
is one half of this value (see typical curve of RIN versus
Sampling Frequency). This finite input resistance causes
an error due to the voltage divider between RS and RIN.
The input voltage error caused by both of these effects is
VERROR = VIN [2CIN/(2CIN + CS) + RS/(RS + RIN)].
Example: assume fS = 10Hz, RS = 1M, CS = 1µF, VIN = 1V,
VERROR = 1V(66µV + 660µV) = 726µV. Notice that most of
the error is caused by RIN. If the sampling frequency is
reduced to 1Hz, the voltage error from the input
impedance effects is reduced to 136µV.
Error Specifications
The only measurable errors on the LTC1041 are the
deviations from “ideal” of the upper and lower switching
levels (Figure 1b). From a control standpoint, the error in
the SET POINT and deadband is critical. These errors may
be defined in terms of VU and VL.
V +V
SET POINT error ≡ U L – SET POINT
2
deadband error ≡ ( VU – VL ) – 2 • DELTA
The specified error limits (see electrical characteristics)
include error due to offset, power supply variation, gain,
time and temperature.
Pulsed Power (VP-P) Output
It is often desirable to use the LTC1041 with resistive
networks such as bridges and voltage dividers. The power
consumed by these resistive networks can far exceed that
of the LTC1041 itself.
At low sample rates the LTC1041 spends most of its time
off. A switched power output, VP-P, is provided to drive the
input network, reducing its average power as well. VP-P is
switched to V+ during the controller’s active time (≈ 80µs)
and to a high impedance (open circuit) when internal
power is switched off.
Figure 3 shows the VP-P output circuit. The VP-P output
voltage is not precisely controlled when driving a load
(see typical curve of VP-P Output Voltage vs Load Current).
In spite of this, high precision can be achieved in two ways:
(1) driving ratiometric networks and (2) driving fast settling references.
In ratiometric networks all the inputs are proportional to
VP-P (Figure 4). Consequently, the absolute value of VP-P
does not affect accuracy.

Q1
In applications where an absolute reference is required,
the VP-P output can be used to drive a fast settling
reference. The LTC1009 2.5V reference settles in ≈ 2µs
and is ideal for this application (Figure 5). The current
through R1 must be large enough to supply the LT1009
minimum bias current (≈ 1mA) and the load current, IL.

Figure 5. Driving Reference with VP-P Output
If the best possible performance is needed, the inputs to
the LTC1041 must completely settle within 4µs of the start
of the comparison cycle (VP-P high impedance to V +
transition). Also, it is critical that the input voltages do not
change during the 80µs active time. When driving resistive
input networks with VP-P, capacitive loading should be
minimized to meet the 4µs settling time requirement.
Further, care should be exercised in layout when driving
networks with source impedances, as seen by the LTC1041,
of greater than 10kΩ (see For RS > 10kΩ).
An internal oscillator allows the LTC1041 to strobe itself.
The frequency of the oscillation, and hence the sampling
rate, is set with an external RC network (see typical curve,
Sampling Rate REXT, CEXT). REXT and CEXT are connected
as shown in Figure 1. To assure oscillation, REXT must be
between 100kΩ and 10MΩ. There is no limit to the size of
CEXT.
At low sampling rates, REXT is very important in
determining the power consumption. REXT consumes
power continuously. The average voltage at the OSC pin
is approximately V+/2, giving a power dissipation of
PREXT = (V+/ 2)2/REXT.
Example: assume REXT = 1MΩ, V+ = 5V, PREXT =
(2.5)2/106 = 6.25/µW. This is approximately four times the
power consumed by the LTC1041 at V+ = 5V and
fS = 1 sample/second. Where power is a premium,
REXT should be made as large as possible. Note that the
power dissipated by REXT is not a function of fS or CEXT.
If high sampling rates are needed and power consumption
is of secondary importance, a convenient way to get the
maximum possible sampling rate is to make REXT = 100kΩ
and CEXT = 0. The sampling rate, set by the controller’s
active time, will nominally be ≈ 10kHz.
To synchronize the Sampling of the LTC1041 to an
external frequency source, the OSC pin can be driven by a
CMOS gate. A CMOS gate is necessary because the input
trip points of the oscillator are close to the supply rails and
TTL does not have enough output swing. Externally driven,
there will be a delay from the rising edge of the OSC input
and the start of the sampling cycle of approximately 5µs.
