REGULATOR APPLICATIONS
Hysteretic Regulator
Built-in hysteresis and the availability of both inverting
and noninverting control inputs (OV and UV) facilitate the
design of hysteretic regulators. Figure 17 shows how the
LTC4365-1 can protect a load from OV transients, while
regulating the output voltage at a user-defined level. When
the output voltage reaches its OV limit, the LTC4365-1
turns off the external MOSFETs. The load current then
discharges the output capacitance until OV falls below the
hysteresis voltage. The external MOSFETs are turned back
on after a 1ms delay. Figure 18 shows the waveforms for
the circuit of Figure 17. Note that the duration, magnitude
and duty cycle of the V
IN
glitch must not exceed the SOA
rating of the external MOSFETs.
Solar Charger
Figure 19 shows a series regulator for a solar charger.
The LTC4365-1 connects the solar charger to the battery
when the battery voltage falls below 13.9V (after a 1ms
delay). Conversely, when the battery reaches 14.6V, the
LTC4365-1 immediately (2µs) opens the charging path.
Regulation of the battery voltage is achieved by connect-
ing a resistive divider from the battery to the accurate OV
comparator
input (with 5% hysteresis). The fast rising
response of the OV comparator prevents the battery voltage
from rising above the user-selected threshold.
