Using the INTV
CC
Regulators
One, both or neither of these regulators can be used to
generate the 10V IC/driver supply depending on the circuit
requirements, available supplies, and the voltage range
of V
IN
or V
OUT
. Deriving the 10V supply from V
IN
is more
effi cient, however deriving it from V
OUT
has the advantage
of maintaining regulation of V
OUT
when V
IN
drops below
the UV threshold. Four possible confi gurations are shown
in Figures 9a through 9d, and are described as follows:
1. Figure 9a. If the V
IN
voltage or another low voltage
supply between 6.2V and 14V is available, the sim-
plest approach is to connect this supply directly to the
INTV
CC
and DRV
CC
pins. The internal regulators are
disabled by shorting NDRV and EXTV
CC
to INTV
CC
.
2. Figure 9b. If V
IN(MAX)
> 14V, an external NMOS con-
nected to the NDRV pin can be used to generate 10V
from V
IN
. V
IN(MIN)
must be > 6.2V + R
NDRV
• 40μA + V
T
to keep INTV
CC
above the UV threshold and the BV
DSS
of the external NMOS must be chosen to be greater
than V
IN(MAX)
. The EXTV
CC
regulator is disabled by
grounding the EXTV
CC
pin.
3. Figure 9c. If the V
IN(MAX)
< 14.7V and V
IN
is allowed to
fall below 6.2V without disrupting the boost converter
operation, use this confi guration. The INTV
CC
supply
is derived from V
IN
until the V
OUT
> 6.7V. Once INTV
CC
is derived from V
OUT
, V
IN
can fall below the 6V UV
threshold without losing regulation of V
OUT
. Note that
in this confi guration, V
IN
must be > 7V at least long
enough to start up the LTC3813 and charge V
OUT
>
6.7V. Also, since V
OUT
is connected to the EXTV
CC
pin,
this confi guration is limited to V
OUT
< 15V.
4. Figure 9d. Similar to confi guration 3 except that V
OUT
is allowed to be >15V since V
OUT
is connected to an
external NMOS with appropriately rated BV
DSS
. V
IN
has
same start-up requirement as 3.
