APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
RC time constant, the peak start-up current can be reduced
to the current that is required to regulate the output, with
no overshoot. Choose the value of the resistor so that it
can supply 60μA when the SHDN pin reaches 2.3V.
Shorted and Reversed Input Protection
If the inductor is chosen so that it won’t saturate exces-
sively, an LT1936 buck regulator will tolerate a shorted
output. There is another situation to consider in systems
where the output will be held high when the input to the
LT1936 is absent. This may occur in battery charging ap-
plications or in battery backup systems where a battery
or some other supply is diode OR-ed with the LT1936’s
output. If the V
IN
pin is allowed to fl oat and the SHDN pin
is held high (either by a logic signal or because it is tied
to V
IN
), then the LT1936’s internal circuitry will pull its
quiescent current through its SW pin. This is fi ne if your
system can tolerate a few mA in this state. If you ground
