DESCRIPTION
Synchronous Step-Down
Regulator in ThinSOT
The LTC ?3406AB is a high ef? ciency monolithic synchro-nous buck regulator using a constant frequency, current mode architecture. Supply current with no load is 200μA, dropping to <1μA in shutdown. The 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage range makes the LTC3406AB ideally suited for single Li-Ion battery-powered applications. 100% duty cycle provides low dropout operation, extending battery run time in portable systems. PWM pulse skipping mode operation provides very low output ripple voltage for noise sensitive applications. Refer to LTC3406A for applications that require Burst Mode ? operation.
Switching frequency is internally set at 1.5MHz, allowing the use of small surface mount inductors and capacitors. The internal synchronous switch increases ef? ciency and eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode. Low output voltages are easily supported with the 0.6V feedback reference voltage. The LTC3406AB is available in a low pro? le (1mm) ThinSOT package.

OPERATION(Refer to Functional Diagram)
Main Control Loop
The LTC3406AB uses a constant frequency, current mode step-down architecture. Both the main (P-channel MOSF ET) and synchronous (N-channel MOSF ET) switches are internal. During normal operation, the internal top power MOSFET is turned on each cycle when the oscillator sets the RS latch, and turned off when the current comparator, I COMP, resets the RS latch. The peak inductor current at which I COMP resets the RS latch, is controlled by the output of error ampli? er EA. When the load current increases, it causes a slight decrease in the feedback voltage, FB, relative to the 0.6V reference, which in turn, causes the EA ampli? er’s output voltage to increase until the average inductor current matches the new load current. While the top MOSFET is off, the bottom MOSFET is turned on until either the inductor current starts to reverse, as indicated by the current reversal comparator I RCMP, or the beginning of the next clock cycle.The main control loop is shut down by grounding RUN, resetting the internal soft-start. Re-enabling the main control loop by pulling RUN high activates the internal soft-start, which slowly ramps the output voltage over approximately 0.9ms until it reaches regulation.
Pulse Skipping Mode Operation
At light loads, the inductor current may reach zero or reverse on each pulse. The bottom MOSFET is turned off by the current reversal comparator, I RCMP, and the switch voltage will ring. This is discontinuous mode operation, and is normal behavior for the switching regulator. At very light loads, the LTC3406AB will automatically skip pulses in pulse skipping mode operation to maintain output regulation. Refer to the LTC3406A data sheet if Burst Mode operation is preferred.
63406abfa
Dropout Operation
As the input supply voltage decreases to a value approach-ing the output voltage, the duty cycle increases toward the maximum on-time. Further reduction of the supply voltage forces the main switch to remain on for more than one cycle until it reaches 100% duty cycle. The output voltage will then be determined by the input voltage minus the voltage drop across the P-channel MOSFET and the inductor.
An important detail to remember is that at low input supply voltages, the R DS(ON) of the P-channel switch increases (see Typical Performance Characteristics). Therefore, the user should calculate the power dissipation when the LTC3406AB is used at 100% duty cycle with low input voltage (See Thermal Considerations in the Applications Information section).Slope Compensation and Inductor Peak Current Slope compensation provides stability in constant fre-quency architectures by preventing subharmonic oscilla-tions at high duty cycles. It is accomplished internally by adding a compensating ramp to the inductor current signal at duty cycles in excess of 40%. Normally, this results in a reduction of maximum inductor peak current for duty cycles >40%. However, the LTC3406AB uses a patented scheme that counteracts this compensating ramp, which allows the maximum inductor peak current to remain unaffected throughout all duty cycles.

The basic LTC3406AB application circuit is shown on the front page. External component selection is driven by the load requirement and begins with the selection of L fol-lowed by C IN and C OUT .Inductor Selection
For most applications, the value of the inductor will fall in the range of 1μH to 4.7μH. Its value is chosen based on the desired ripple current. Large value inductors lower ripple current and small value inductors result in higher ripple currents. Higher V IN or V OUT also increases the ripple cur-rent as shown in equation 1. A reasonable starting point for setting ripple current is ΔI L = 240mA (40% of 600mA).
Δ=()()?
??????I f L V V V L OUT OUT IN 1
1 (1)The DC current rating of the inductor should be at least
equal to the maximum load current plus half the ripple current to prevent core saturation. Thus, a 720mA rated inductor should be enough for most applications (600mA + 120mA). For better ef? ciency, choose a low DC-resistance inductor.Inductor Core Selection
Different core materials and shapes will change the size/current and price/current relationship of an induc-tor. Toroid or shielded pot cores in ferrite or permalloy materials are small and don’t radiate much energy, but generally cost more than powdered iron core inductors with similar electrical characteristics. The choice of which style inductor to use often depends more on the price vs size requirements and any radiated ? eld/EMI require-ments than on what the LTC3406AB requires to operate.Table 1 shows some typical surface mount inductors that work well in LTC3406AB applications.
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
C IN and C OUT Selection
In continuous mode, the source current of the top MOSFET is a square wave of duty cycle V OUT /V IN . 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:
C I V V V IN OMAX
OUT IN OUT required I RMS ??()????
1/22
V IN
This formula has a maximum at V IN = 2V OUT , where I RMS = I OUT /2. This simple worst-case condition is commonly used for design because even signi? cant de-viations do not offer much relief. Note that the capacitor manufacturer’s ripple current ratings are often based on 2000 hours of life. This makes it advisable to further derate the capacitor, or choose a capacitor rated at a higher tem-perature than required. Always consult the manufacturer if there is any question.
The selection of C OUT is driven by the required effective series resistance (ESR).

Typically, once the ESR requirement for C OUT has been met, the RMS current rating generally far exceeds the I RIPPLE(P-P) requirement. The output ripple ΔV OUT is determined by:
Δ?Δ+
????
?
?V I ESR fC OUT L OUT 1
8where f = operating frequency, C OUT = output capacitance
and ΔI L = ripple current in the inductor. For a ?
xed output voltage, the output ripple is highest at maximum input voltage since ΔI L increases with input voltage.
Aluminum electrolytic and dry tantalum capacitors are both
available in surface mount con? gurations. 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 series of surface mount tantalum. These are specially constructed and tested for low ESR so they give the lowest ESR for a given volume. Other capacitor types include Sanyo POSCAP , Kemet T510 and T495 series, and Sprague 593D and 595D series. Consult the manufacturer for other speci? c https://www.wendangku.net/doc/ca1663723.html,ing Ceramic Input and Output Capacitors
Higher values, lower cost ceramic capacitors are now becoming available in smaller case sizes. Their high ripple current, high voltage rating and low ESR make them ideal for switching regulator applications. Because the LTC3406AB’s control loop does not depend on the output capacitor’s ESR for stable operation, ceramic capacitors can be used freely to achieve very low output ripple and small circuit size.
However, care must be taken when ceramic capacitors are used at the input and the output. When a ceramic capacitor is used at the input and the power is supplied by a wall adapter through long wires, a load step at the output can induce ringing at the input, V IN . At best, this
ringing can couple to the output and be mistaken as loop instability. At worst, a sudden inrush of current through the long wires can potentially cause a voltage spike at V IN , large enough to damage the part.
When choosing the input and output ceramic capacitors, choose the X5R or X7R dielectric formulations. These dielectrics have the best temperature and voltage charac-teristics of all the ceramics for a given value and size.Output Voltage Programming

Ef? ciency Considerations
The ef? ciency 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 ef? ciency and which change would produce the most improvement. Ef? ciency can be expressed as: Ef? ciency = 100% – (L1 + L2 + L3 + ...)
where L1, L2, etc. are the individual losses as a percent-age of input power.
10
3406abfa
Although all dissipative elements in the circuit produce losses, two main sources usually account for most of the losses in LTC3406AB circuits: V IN quiescent current and I 2R losses. The V IN quiescent current loss dominates the ef? ciency loss at very low load currents whereas the
I 2R loss dominates the ef?
ciency loss at medium to high load currents. In a typical ef? ciency plot, the ef? ciency curve at very low load currents can be misleading since the actual power lost is of no consequence as illustrated in Figure 2.
2. I 2R losses are calculated from the resistances of the internal switches, R SW , and external inductor R L . In continuous mode, the average output current ? owing through inductor L is “chopped” between the main switch and the synchronous switch. Thus, the series resistance looking into the SW pin is a function of both top and bottom MOSFET R DS(ON) and the duty cycle (DC) as follows: R SW = (R DS(ON)TOP )(DC) + (R DS(ON)BOT )(1 – DC) The R DS(ON) for both the top and bottom MOSF ETs can be obtained from the Typical Performance Characteristics curves. Thus, to obtain I 2R losses, simply add R SW to R L and multiply the result by the square of the average output current.
Other losses including C IN and C OUT ESR dissipative losses and inductor core losses generally account for less than 2% total additional loss.Thermal Considerations
In most applications the LTC3406AB does not dissipate much heat due to its high ef? ciency. But, in applications where the LTC3406AB is running at high ambient tem-perature with low supply voltage and high duty cycles, such as in dropout, the heat dissipated may exceed the maximum junction temperature of the part. If the junction temperature reaches approximately 150°C, both power switches will be turned off and the SW node will become high impedance.
To avoid the LTC3406AB from exceeding the maximum junction temperature, the user will need to do some thermal analysis. The goal of the thermal analysis is to determine whether the power dissipated exceeds the maximum junction temperature of the part. The temperature rise is given by: T R = (P D )(θJA )
where P D is the power dissipated by the regulator and θJA is the thermal resistance from the junction of the die to the ambient temperature.
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Figure 2. Power Lost vs Load Current
1. The V IN quiescent current is due to two components: the DC bias current as given in the electrical charac-teristics and the internal main switch and synchronous switch gate charge currents. The gate charge current results from switching the gate capacitance of the internal power MOSFET switches. Each time the gate is switched from high to low to high again, a packet of charge, dQ, moves from V IN to ground. The resulting dQ/dt is the current out of V IN that is typically larger than the DC bias current. In continuous mode, I GATECHG = f(Q T + Q B ) where Q T and Q B are the gate charges of the internal top and bottom switches. Both the DC bias and gate charge losses are proportional to V IN and thus their effects will be more pronounced at higher supply voltages.

The junction temperature, T J, is given by:
T J = T A + T R
where T A is the ambient temperature.
As an example, consider the LTC3406AB in dropout at an input voltage of 2.7V, a load current of 600mA and an ambient temperature of 70°C. From the typical per-formance graph of switch resistance, the R DS(ON) of the P-channel switch at 70°C is approximately 0.27Ω. There-fore, power dissipated by the part is:
P D = I LOAD2 ? R DS(ON) = 97.2mW
For the SOT-23 package, the θJA is 250°C/W. Thus, the junction temperature of the regulator is:
T J = 70°C + (0.0972)(250) = 94.3°C
which is below the maximum junction temperature of 125°C.
Note that at higher supply voltages, the junction temperature is lower due to reduced switch resistance (R DS(ON)). Checking Transient Response
The regulator loop response can be checked by looking at the load transient response. Switching regulators take several cycles to respond to a step in load current. When a load step occurs, V OUT immediately shifts by an amount equal to (ΔI LOAD ? ESR), where ESR is the effective series resistance of C OUT. ΔI LOAD also begins to charge or dis-charge C OUT, which generates a feedback error signal. The regulator loop then acts to return V OUT to its steady-state value. During this recovery time V OUT can be monitored for overshoot or ringing that would indicate a stability problem. For a detailed explanation of switching control loop theory, see Application Note 76. A second, more severe transient is caused by switching in loads with large (>1μF) supply bypass capacitors. The discharged bypass capacitors are effectively put in paral-lel with C OUT, causing a rapid drop in V OUT. No regulator can deliver enough current to prevent this problem if the load switch resistance is low and it is driven quickly. The only solution is to limit the rise time of the switch drive so that the load rise time is limited to approximately (25 ? C LOAD). Thus, a 10μF capacitor charging to 3.3V would require a 250μs rise time, limiting the charging current to about 130mA.
PC Board Layout Checklist
When laying out the printed circuit board, the following checklist should be used to ensure proper operation of the LTC3406AB. These items are also illustrated graphically in Figures 3 and 4. Check the following in your layout:
1. The power traces, consisting of the GND trace, the SW trace, the V OUT trace and the V IN trace should be kept short, direct and wide.
2. Does the V FB pin connect directly to the feedback resistors? The resistive divider R1/R2 must be connected between the (+) plate of C OUT and ground.
3. Does C IN connect to V IN as closely aspossible? This capacitor provides the AC current to the internal power MOS
F
ETs.
4. Keep the switching node, SW, away from the sensitive V FB node.
5. Keep the (–) plates of C IN and C OUT and the IC ground, as close as possible.

As a design example, assume the LTC3406AB is used in a single lithium-ion battery-powered cellular phone application. The V IN will be operating from a maximum of 4.2V down to about 2.7V. The load current requirement is a maximum of 0.6A but most of the time it will be in standby mode, requiring only 2mA. Ef? ciency at both low and high load currents is important. Output voltage is 2.5V. With this information we can calculate L using Equation (1),
L f I V V V L OUT OUT IN =()Δ()???

Substituting V OUT = 2.5V, V IN = 4.2V, ΔI L = 240mA and
f = 1.5MHz in Equation (3) gives:

?=μ251524012542281..()...A 2.2μH inductor works well for this application. For best
ef? ciency choose a 720mA or greater inductor with less than 0.2Ω series resistance.
C IN will require an RMS current rating of at least 0.3A ? I LOAD(MAX)/2 at temperature and C OUT will require an ESR of less than 0.25Ω. In most cases, a ceramic capacitor will satisfy this requirement.
