Converter IC with Integrated Schottky Diode

-

Published in issue 345, July 2005

Conventional step-up switching regulator ICs need at least one external Schottky diode and have the disadvantage that there is no effective output short-circuit current limiting. This means that very large currents can flow via coil L and Schottky diode D. Such currents can overload upstream components or destroy circuit board tracks. This situation is now remedied by the new LT3464 step-up switching regulator.
