While the top MOSFET is off, the bottom MOSFET is The LTC1735-1 uses a constant frequency, current mode turned on until either the inductor current starts to reverse, step-down architecture. During normal operation, the top as indicated by current comparator I MOSFET is turned on each cycle when the oscillator sets 2, or the beginning of the next cycle. the RS latch, and turned off when the main current comparator I1 resets the RS latch. The peak inductor The top MOSFET driver is powered from a floating boot- current at which I1 resets the RS latch is controlled by the strap capacitor CB. This capacitor is normally recharged voltage on Pin ITH, which is the output of error amplifier from INTVCC through an external Schottky diode when the EA.
