Applications Information

INTVCC Regulator Bypassing and Operation

The INTVCC pin is the output of an internal linear regula-

tor driven from VIN and is the supply for the LT3760 gate

driver. The INTVCC pin should be bypassed with a 10V

rated 4.7µF low ESR, X7R or X5R ceramic capacitor to

ensure stability and to provide enough charge for the gate

driver. For high enough VIN levels the INTVCC pin provides

a regulated 7V supply. Make sure INTVCC voltage does

not exceed the VGS rating of the external MOSFET driven

by the GATE pin. For low VIN levels the INTVCC level will

depend on VIN and the voltage drop of the regulator. The

INTVCC regulator has an undervoltage lockout which

prevents gate driver switching until INTVCC reaches 3.8V

and maintains switching until INTVCC falls below 3.4V.

This feature prevents excessive power dissipation in the

external MOSFET by ensuring a minimum gate drive level

to keep RDS(ON) low. The INTVCC regulator has a current

limit of 40mA to limit power dissipation inside the I.C.

This current limit should be considered when choosing the

N‑channel power MOSFET and the switching frequency.

The average current load on the INTVCC pin due to the

LT3760 gate driver can be calculated as:

IINTVCC = Qg • fOSC

where Qg is the gate charge (at VGS = INTVCC) specified

for the MOSFET and fosc is the switching frequency of the

LT3760 boost converter. It is possible to drive the INTVCC

pin from a variety of external sources in order to remove

power dissipation from the LT3760 and/or to remove the

INTVCC current limitation of 40mA. An external supply for

INTVCC should never exceed the VIN pin voltage or the

maximum INTVCC pin rating of 13V. If INTVCC is shorted

to the VIN pin, VIN operational range is 4.5V to 13V.

Inductor

A list of inductor manufacturers is given in Table 1. How-

ever, there are many other manufacturers and inductors

that can be used. Consult each manufacturer for more

detailed information and their entire range of parts. Ferrite

cores should be used to obtain the best efficiency. Choose

an inductor that can handle the necessary peak current

without saturating. Also ensure that the inductor has a

low DCR (copper-wire resistance) to minimize I2R power

losses. Values between 2.2µH and 33µH will suffice for

most applications. The typical inductor value required for

a given application (assuming 50% inductor ripple current

for example) can be calculated as:
