DESCRIPTION
The LTC(R)1772 is a constant frequency current mode stepdown DC/DC controller providing excellent AC and DC load and line regulation. The device incorporates an accurate undervoltage lockout feature that shuts down the LTC1772 when the input voltage falls below 2.0V. The LTC1772 boasts a 2.5% output voltage accuracy and consumes only 270A of quiescent current. For applications where efficiency is a prime consideration, the LTC1772 is configured for Burst Mode operation, which enhances efficiency at low output current. To further maximize the life of a battery source, the external P-channel MOSFET is turned on continuously in dropout (100% duty cycle). In shutdown, the device draws a mere 8A. High constant operating frequency of 550kHz allows the use of a small external inductor. The LTC1772 is available in a small footprint 6-lead SOT-23.

PIN FUNCTIONS
ITH/RUN (Pin 1): This pin performs two functions. It serves as the error amplifier compensation point as well as the run control input. The current comparator threshold increases with this control voltage. Nominal voltage range for this pin is 0.7V to 1.9V. Forcing this pin below 0.35V causes the device to be shut down. In shutdown all functions are disabled and the PGATE pin is held high. GND (Pin 2): Ground Pin. VFB (Pin 3): Receives the feedback voltage from an external resistive divider across the output. SENSE - (Pin 4): The Negative Input to the Current Comparator. VIN (Pin 5): Supply Pin. Must be closely decoupled to GND Pin 2. PGATE (Pin 6): Gate Drive for the External P-Channel MOSFET.

Main Control Loop The LTC1772 is a constant frequency current mode switching regulator. During normal operation, the external P-channel power MOSFET is turned on each cycle when the oscillator sets the RS latch (RS1) and turned off when the current comparator (ICMP) resets the latch. The peak inductor current at which ICMP resets the RS latch is controlled by the voltage on the ITH/RUN pin, which is the output of the error amplifier EAMP. An external resistive divider connected between VOUT and ground allows the EAMP to receive an output feedback voltage VFB. When the

load current increases, it causes a slight decrease in VFB relative to the 0.8V reference, which in turn causes the ITH/RUN voltage to increase until the average inductor current matches the new load current. The main control loop is shut down by pulling the ITH/RUN pin low. Releasing ITH/RUN allows an internal 0.5A current source to charge up the external compensation network. When the ITH/RUN pin reaches 0.35V, the main control loop is enabled with the ITH/RUN voltage then pulled up to its zero current level of approximately 0.7V. As the external compensation network continues to charge

up, the corresponding output current trip level follows, allowing normal operation. Comparator OVP guards against transient overshoots > 7.5% by turning off the external P-channel power MOSFET and keeping it off until the fault is removed. Burst Mode Operation The LTC1772 enters Burst Mode operation at low load currents. In this mode, the peak current of the inductor is set as if VITH/RUN = 1V (at low duty cycles) even though the voltage at the ITH/RUN pin is at a lower value. If the inductor's average current is greater than the load requirement, the voltage at the ITH/RUN pin will drop. When the ITH/RUN voltage goes below 0.85V, the sleep signal goes high, turning off the external MOSFET. The sleep signal goes low when the ITH/RUN voltage goes above 0.925V and the LTC1772 resumes normal operation. The next oscillator cycle will turn the external MOSFET on and the switching cycle repeats. Dropout Operation When the input supply voltage decreases towards the output voltage, the rate of change of inductor current during the ON cycle decreases. This reduction means that the external P-channel MOSFET will remain on for more than one oscillator cycle since the inductor current has not ramped up to the threshold set by EAMP. Further reduction in input supply voltage will eventually cause the P-channel MOSFET to be turned on 100%, i.e., DC. The output voltage will then be determined by the input voltage minus the voltage drop across the MOSFET, the sense resistor and the inductor. Undervoltage Lockout To prevent operation of the P-channel MOSFET below safe input voltage levels, an undervoltage lockout is incorporated into the LTC1772. When the input supply voltage drops below approximately 2.0V, the P-channel MOSFET and all circuitry is turned off except the undervoltage block, which draws only several microamperes.

Short-Circuit Protection When the output is shorted to ground, the frequency of the oscillator will be reduced to about 120kHz. This lower frequency allows the inductor current to safely discharge, thereby preventing current runaway. The oscillator's frequency will gradually increase to its designed rate when the feedback voltage again approaches 0.8V. Overvoltage Protection As a further protection, the overvoltage comparator in the LTC1772 will turn the external MOSFET off when the feedback voltage has risen 7.5% above the reference voltage of 0.8V. This comparator has a typical hysteresis of 20mV. Slope Compensation and Inductor's Peak Current The inductor's peak current is determined by:

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The basic LTC1772 application circuit is shown in Figure 1. External component selection is driven by the load requirement and begins with the selection of L1 and RSENSE (= R1). Next, the power MOSFET and the output diode D1 is selected followed by CIN (= C1)and COUT(= C2). RSENSE Selection for Output Current RSENSE is chosen based on the required output current. With the current comparator monitoring the voltage developed across RSENSE, the threshold of the comparator determines the inductor's peak current. The output current the LTC1772 can provide is given by: IOUT = 0.1 RSENSE - IRIPPLE 2 The inductance value also has a direct effect on ripple current. The ripple current, IRIPPLE, decreases with higher inductance or frequency and increases with higher VIN or VOUT. The inductor's peak-to-peak ripple current is given by: IRIPPLE = VIN - VOUT VOUT + VD f (L) VIN + VD
where IRIPPLE is the inductor peak-to-peak ripple current (see Inductor Value Calculation section). A reasonable starting point for setting ripple current is IRIPPLE = (0.4)(IOUT). Rearranging the above equation, it becomes:
RSENSE =
1 for Duty Cycle < 40% (12)( IOUT)
However, for operation that is above 40% duty cycle, slope compensation effect has to be taken into consideration to select the appropriate value to provide the required amount of current. Using Figure 2, the value of RSENSE is:
RSENSE =
(12)(IOUT )(100)
SF
Inductor Value Calculation The operating frequency and inductor selection are interrelated in that higher operating frequencies permit the use of a smaller inductor for the same amount of inductor ripple current. However, this is at the expense of efficiency due to an increase in MOSFET gate charge losses. Inductor Core Selection Once the value for L is known, the type of inductor must be selected. High efficiency converters generally cannot afford the core loss found in low cost powdered iron cores, forcing the use of more expensive ferrite, molypermalloy

where f is the operating frequency. Accepting larger values of IRIPPLE allows the use of low inductances, but results in higher output voltage ripple and greater core losses. A reasonable starting point for setting ripple current is IRIPPLE = 0.4(IOUT(MAX)). Remember, the maximum IRIPPLE occurs at the maximum input voltage. In Burst Mode operation on the LTC1772, the ripple current is normally set such that the inductor current is continuous during the burst periods. Therefore, the peakto-peak ripple current must not exceed:
IRIPPLE 0.0288 RSENSE
This implies a minimum inductance of:
LMIN =
VIN - VOUT VOUT + VD 0.0288 VIN + VD f RSENSE
(Use VIN(MAX) = VIN) A smaller value than L MIN could be used in the circuit; however, the inductor current will not be continuous during burst periods.

or Kool Mu(R) cores. Actual core loss is independent of core size for a fixed inductor value, but it is very dependent on inductance selected. As inductance increases, core losses go down. Unfortunately, increased inductance requires more turns of wire and therefore copper losses will increase. Ferrite designs have very low core losses and are preferred at high switching frequencies, so design goals can concentrate on copper loss and preventing saturation. Ferrite core material saturates "hard," which means that inductance collapses abruptly when the peak design current is exceeded. This results in an abrupt increase in inductor ripple current and consequent output voltage ripple. Do not allow the core to saturate! Molypermalloy (from Magnetics, Inc.) is a very good, low loss core material for toroids, but it is more expensive than ferrite. A reasonable compromise from the same manufacturer is Kool Mu. Toroids are very space efficient, especially when you can use several layers of wire. Because they generally lack a bobbin, mounting is more difficult. However, new designs for surface mount that do not increase the height significantly are available. Power MOSFET Selection An external P-channel power MOSFET must be selected for use with the LTC1772. The main selection criteria for the power MOSFET are the threshold voltage VGS(TH) and the "on" resistance RDS(ON), reverse transfer capacitance CRSS and total gate charge. Since the LTC1772 is designed for operation down to low input voltages, a sublogic level threshold MOSFET (RDS(ON) guaranteed at VGS = 2.5V) is required for applications that work close to this voltage. When these MOSFETs are used, make sure that the input supply to the LTC1772 is less than the absolute maximum VGS rating, typically 8V. The required minimum RDS(ON) of the MOSFET is governed by its allowable power dissipation. For applications that may operate the LTC1772 in dropout, i.e., 100% duty cycle, at its worst case the required RDS(ON) is given by: where PP is the allowable power dissipation and p is the temperature dependency of RDS(ON). (1 + p) is generally given for a MOSFET in the form of a normalized RDS(ON) vs temperature curve, but p = 0.005/C can be used as an approximation for low voltage MOSFETs. In applications where the maximum duty cycle is less than 100% and the LTC1772 is in continuous mode, the RDS(ON) is governed by: R DS(ON)

where DC is the maximum operating duty cycle of the LTC1772. Output Diode Selection The catch diode carries load current during the off-time. The average diode current is therefore dependent on the P-channel switch duty cycle. At high input voltages the diode conducts most of the time. As VIN approaches VOUT the diode conducts only a small fraction of the time. The most stressful condition for the diode is when the output is short-circuited. Under this condition the diode must safely handle IPEAK at close to 100% duty cycle. Therefore, it is important to adequately specify the diode peak current and average power dissipation so as not to exceed the diode ratings. Under normal load conditions, the average current conducted by the diode is: V -V ID = IN OUT IOUT VIN + VD The allowable forward voltage drop in the diode is calculated from the maximum short-circuit current as:
VF

where PD is the allowable power dissipation and will be determined by efficiency and/or thermal requirements.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
A fast switching diode must also be used to optimize efficiency. Schottky diodes are a good choice for low forward drop and fast switching times. Remember to keep lead length short and observe proper grounding (see Board Layout Checklist) to avoid ringing and increased dissipation. CIN and COUT Selection In continuous mode, the source current of the P-channel MOSFET is a square wave of duty cycle (VOUT + VD)/ (VIN + VD). To prevent large voltage transients, a low ESR input capacitor sized for the maximum RMS current must be used. The maximum RMS capacitor current is given by:
CIN Required IRMS IMAX
[VOUT (VIN - VOUT )]1/ 2
VIN
This formula has a maximum at VIN = 2VOUT, where IRMS = IOUT /2. This simple worst-case condition is commonly used for design because even significant deviations do not offer much relief. Note that capacitor manufacturer's ripple current ratings are often based on 2000 hours of life. This makes it advisable to further derate the capacitor, or to choose a capacitor rated at a higher temperature than required. Several capacitors may be paralleled to meet the size or height requirements in the design. Due to the high operating frequency of the LTC1772, ceramic capacitors can also be used for CIN. Always consult the manufacturer if there is any question. The selection of COUT is driven by the required effective series resistance (ESR). Typically, once the ESR requirement is satisfied, the capacitance is adequate for filtering. The output ripple (VOUT) is approximated by: 1 VOUT IRIPPLE ESR + 4 fC OUT where f is the operating frequency, COUT is the output capacitance and IRIPPLE is the ripple current in the inductor. The output ripple is highest at maximum input voltage since IL increases with input voltage.

Manufacturers such as Nichicon, United Chemicon and Sanyo should be considered for high performance throughhole capacitors. The OS-CON semiconductor dielectric capacitor available from Sanyo has the lowest ESR (size) product of any aluminum electrolytic at a somewhat higher price. Once the ESR requirement for COUT has been met, the RMS current rating generally far exceeds the IRIPPLE(P-P) requirement. In surface mount applications, multiple capacitors may have to be paralleled to meet the ESR or RMS current handling requirements of the application. Aluminum electrolytic and dry tantalum capacitors are both available in surface mount configurations. In the case of tantalum, it is critical that the capacitors are surge tested for use in switching power supplies. An excellent choice is the AVX TPS, AVX TPSV and KEMET T510 series of surface mount tantalum, available in case heights ranging from 2mm to 4mm. Other capacitor types include Sanyo OS-CON, Nichicon PL series and Panasonic SP. Low Supply Operation Although the LTC1772 can function down to approximately 2.0V, the maximum allowable output current is reduced when VIN decreases below 3V. Figure 3 shows the amount of change as the supply is reduced down to 2V. Also shown in Figure 3 is the effect of VIN on VREF as VIN goes below 2.3V.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Setting Output Voltage The LTC1772 develops a 0.8V reference voltage between the feedback (Pin 3) terminal and ground (see Figure 4). By selecting resistor R1, a constant current is caused to flow through R1 and R2 to set the overall output voltage. The regulated output voltage is determined by: R2 VOUT = 0.81 + R1 For most applications, an 80k resistor is suggested for R1. To prevent stray pickup, a 100pF capacitor is suggested across R1 located close to LTC1772.

Efficiency Considerations The efficiency of a switching regulator is equal to the output power divided by the input power times 100%. It is often useful to analyze individual losses to determine what is limiting the efficiency and which change would produce the most improvement. Efficiency can be expressed as: Efficiency = 100% - (1 + 2 + 3 + ...) where 1, 2, etc. are the individual losses as a percentage of input power. Although all dissipative elements in the circuit produce losses, four main sources usually account for most of the losses in LTC1772 circuits: 1) LTC1772 DC bias current, 2) MOSFET gate charge current, 3) I2R losses and 4) voltage drop of the output diode.

1. The VIN current is the DC supply current, given in the electrical characteristics, that excludes MOSFET driver and control currents. VIN current results in a small loss which increases with VIN. 2. MOSFET gate charge current results from switching the gate capacitance of the power MOSFET. Each time a MOSFET gate is switched from low to high to low again, a packet of charge dQ moves from VIN to ground. The resulting dQ/dt is a current out of VIN which is typically much larger than the DC supply current. In continuous mode, IGATECHG = f(Qp). 3. I2R losses are predicted from the DC resistances of the MOSFET, inductor and current shunt. In continuous mode the average output current flows through L but is "chopped" between the P-channel MOSFET in series with RSENSE and the output diode. The MOSFET RDS(ON) plus RSENSE multiplied by duty cycle can be summed with the resistances of L and RSENSE to obtain I2R losses. 4. The output diode is a major source of power loss at high currents and gets worse at high input voltages. The diode loss is calculated by multiplying the forward voltage times the diode duty cycle multiplied by the load current. For example, assuming a duty cycle of 50% with a Schottky diode forward voltage drop of 0.4V, the loss increases from 0.5% to 8% as the load current increases from 0.5A to 2A. 5. Transition losses apply to the external MOSFET and increase at higher operating frequencies and input voltages. Transition losses can be estimated from: Transition Loss = 2(VIN)2IO(MAX)CRSS(f) Other losses including CIN and COUT ESR dissipative losses, and inductor core losses, generally account for less than 2% total additional loss.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Foldback Current Limiting As described in the Output Diode Selection, the worst-case dissipation occurs with a short-circuited output when the diode conducts the current limit value almost continuously. To prevent excessive heating in the diode, foldback current limiting can be added to reduce the current in proportion to the severity of the fault. Foldback current limiting is implemented by adding diodes DFB1 and DFB2 between the output and the ITH/RUN pin as shown in Figure 5. In a hard short (VOUT = 0V), the current will be reduced to approximately 50% of the maximum output current.

Design Example Assume the LTC1772 is used in a single Lithium-Ion battery-powered cellular phone application. The VIN will be operating from a maximum of 4.2V down to a minimum of 2.7V. Load current requirement is a maximum of 1.5A but most of the time it will be on standby mode, requiring only 2mA. Efficiency at both low and high load current is important. Output voltage is 2.5V.

In the application, a 0.03 resistor is used. For the inductor, the required value is:
LMIN =
4.2 - 2.5 2.5 + 0.3 = 2.00H 0.0288 4.2 + 0.3 550kHz 0.03
In the application, a 5.6H inductor is used to reduce ripple current. For the selection of the external MOSFET, the RDS(ON) must be guaranteed at 2.5V since the LTC1772 has to work down to 2.7V. Let's assume that the MOSFET dissipation is to be limited to PP = 250mW and its thermal resistance is 50C/W. Hence the junction temperature at TA = 25C will be 37.5C and p = 0.005 (37.5 - 25) = 0.0625. The required RDS(ON) is then given by:
R DS(ON) DC (IOUT ) (1 + p)

The P-channel MOSFET requirement can be met by an Si6433DQ. The requirement for the Schottky diode is the most stringent when VOUT = 0V, i.e., short circuit. With a 0.03 RSENSE resistor, the short-circuit current through the Schottky is 0.1/0.03 = 3.3A. An MBRS340T3 Schottky diode is chosen. With 3.3A flowing through, the diode is rated with a forward voltage of 0.4V. Therefore, the worstcase power dissipated by the diode is 1.32W. The addition of DFB1 and DFB2 (Figure 5) will reduce the diode dissipation to approximately 0.66W. The input capacitor requires an RMS current rating of at least 0.75A at temperature, and COUT will require an ESR of 0.1 for optimum efficiency.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
PC Board Layout Checklist When laying out the printed circuit board, the following checklist should be used to ensure proper operation of the LTC1772. These items are illustrated graphically in the layout diagram in Figure 6. Check the following in your layout: 1. Is the Schottky diode closely connected between ground (Pin 2) and drain of the external MOSFET? 2. Does the (+) plate of CIN connect to the sense resistor as closely as possible? This capacitor provides AC current to the MOSFET. 3. Is the input decoupling capacitor (0.1F) connected closely between VIN (Pin 5) and ground (Pin 2)? 4. Connect the end of RSENSE as close to VIN (Pin 5) as possible. The VIN pin is the SENSE + of the current comparator. 5. Is the trace from SENSE - (Pin 4) to the Sense resistor kept short? Does the trace connect close to RSENSE? 6. Keep the switching node PGATE away from sensitive small signal nodes. 7. Does the VFB pin connect directly to the feedback resistors? The resistive divider R1 and R2 must be connected between the (+) plate of COUT and signal ground. The 100pF capacitor should be as close as possible to the LTC1772.
