multiplier. It is a current input that is biased at 2V to

minimize the crossover dead zone caused by low line

voltage. At the pin, a 32k resistor is in series with the

current input, so that a lowpass RC can be used to filter out

the switching noise from the high impedance lines.

amplifier. The output is clamped at 13.5V. When the

output goes below 2.5V, the multiplier output current is

zero.

Pin 8 (OVP): This is the input to the overvoltage compara-

tor. The threshold is 1.05 times the reference voltage.

When the comparator trips, the multiplier is quickly inhib-

ited and outputs no current. Figure 4 in the Applications

Information section shows how to set overvoltage thresh-

old with only one additional resistor.

most of the internal circuity and can source up to 5mA

externally.

Pin 10 (EN/SYNC): This pin has two functions. When it

goes below 2.6V, the chip goes into shutdown mode and

draws little current. Pulses at this pin that go below the 5V

threshold will synchronize the chip. The synchronizing

pulses should have an on-time of at least 200ns for the

LT1248 resetting circuit to work.
