LTC3714
Applications Information
INTV_CC Regulator
An internal P-channel low dropout regulator produces the
5V supply that powers the drivers and internal circuitry
within the LTC3714. The INTV_CC pin can supply up to 50mA
RMS and must be bypassed to ground with a minimum of
4.7µF tantalum or other low ESR capacitor. Good bypassing
is necessary to supply the high transient currents required
by the MOSFET gate drivers. Applications using large
MOSFETs with a high input voltage and high frequency of
operation may cause the LTC3714 to exceed its maximum
junction temperature rating or RMS current rating. Most
of the supply current drives the MOSFET gates unless
an external EXTV_CC source is used. In continuous mode
operation, this current is I_GATECHG = f(Q_g(TOP) + Q_g(BOT)).
The junction temperature can be estimated from the equa-
tions given in Note 2 of the Electrical Characteristics. For
example, the LTC3714EG is limited to less than 14mA
from a 30V supply:
T_J = 70°C + (14mA)(30V)(130°C/W) = 125°C
For larger currents, consider using an external supply
with the EXTV_CC pin.
