FEATURES  
DESCRIPTIO  
The LT®1936 is a current mode PWM step-down DC/DC  
converter with an internal 1.9A power switch, packaged in  
a tiny, thermally enhanced 8-lead MSOP. The wide input  
range of 3.6V to 36V makes the LT1936 suitable for  
regulating power from a wide variety of sources, including  
automotive batteries, 24V industrial supplies and unregu-  
lated wall adapters. Its high operating frequency allows  
the use of small, low cost inductors and ceramic capaci-  
tors, resulting in low, predictable output ripple.

BOOST (Pin 1): The BOOST pin is used to provide a drive  
voltage, higher than the input voltage, to the internal  
bipolar NPN power switch.  
FB (Pin 6): The LT1936 regulates its feedback pin to  
1.200V. Connect the feedback resistor divider tap to this  
pin. Set the output voltage according to VOUT = 1.200V  
(1 + R1/R2). A good value for R2 is 10k.  
VIN (Pin 2): The VIN pin supplies current to the LT1936’s  
internal regulator and to the internal power switch. This  
pin must be locally bypassed.  
VC (Pin 7): The VC pin is used to compensate the LT1936  
control loop by tying an external RC network from this pin  
to ground. The COMP pin provides access to an internal  
RC network that can be used instead of the external  
components.  
SW (Pin 3): The SW pin is the output of the internal power  
switch. Connect this pin to the inductor, catch diode and  
boost capacitor.  
COMP (Pin 8): To use the internal compensation network,  
tie the COMP pin to the VC pin. Otherwise, tie COMP to  
ground or leave it floating.  
GND(Pin4):TietheGNDpintoalocalgroundplanebelow  
the LT1936 and the circuit components. Return the feed-  
back divider to this pin.  
Exposed Pad (Pin 9): The Exposed Pad must be soldered  
to the PCB and electrically connected to ground. Use a  
large ground plane and thermal vias to optimize thermal  
performance.  
SHDN (Pin 5): The SHDN pin is used to put the LT1936  
in shutdown mode. Tie to ground to shut down the  
LT1936. Tie to 2.3V or more for normal operation. If the  
shutdown feature is not used, tie this pin to the VIN pin.  
SHDN also provides a soft-start function; see the Appli-  
cations Information. Do not drive SHDN more than 5V  
above VIN.

OPERATIO  
(Refer to Block Diagram)  
The LT1936 is a constant frequency, current mode step-  
down regulator. A 500kHz oscillator enables an RS flip-  
flop, turning on the internal 1.9A power switch Q1. An  
amplifier and comparator monitor the current flowing  
between the VIN and SW pins, turning the switch off when  
this current reaches a level determined by the voltage at  
VC.Anerroramplifiermeasurestheoutputvoltagethrough  
anexternalresistordividertiedtotheFBpinandservosthe  
VC pin. If the error amplifier’s output increases, more  
current is delivered to the output; if it decreases, less  
currentisdelivered.Anactiveclamp(notshown)ontheVC  
pin provides current limit. The VC pin is also clamped to  
the voltage on the SHDN pin; soft-start is implemented by  
generating a voltage ramp at the SHDN pin using an  
external resistor and capacitor.  
An internal regulator provides power to the control cir-  
cuitry. This regulator includes an undervoltage lockout to  
prevent switching when VIN is less than ~3.45V. The  
SHDN pin is used to place the LT1936 in shutdown,  
disconnectingtheoutputandreducingtheinputcurrentto  
less than 2µA.  
The switch driver operates from either the input or from  
the BOOST pin. An external capacitor and diode are used  
to generate a voltage at the BOOST pin that is higher than  
the input supply. This allows the driver to fully saturate the  
internal bipolar NPN power switch for efficient operation.  
The oscillator reduces the LT1936’s operating frequency  
when the voltage at the FB pin is low. This frequency

and overload.

Inductor Selection and Maximum Output Current  
A good first choice for the inductor value is  
L = 2.2 (VOUT + VD)  
The output voltage is programmed with a resistor divider  
between the output and the FB pin. Choose the 1%  
resistors according to:  
whereVD isthevoltagedropofthecatchdiode(~0.4V)and  
Lisin µH. Withthisvaluethemaximumoutputcurrentwill  
be above 1.2A at all duty cycles and greater than 1.4A for  
duty cycles less than 50% (VIN > 2 VOUT). The inductor’s  
RMS current rating must be greater than the maximum  
load current and its saturation current should be about  
30% higher. For robust operation in fault conditions  
(start-up or short circuit) and high input voltage (>30V),  
the saturation current should be above 2.6A. To keep the  
efficiency high, the series resistance (DCR) should be less  
than 0.1, and the core material should be intended for  
high frequency applications. Table 1 lists several vendors  
and suitable types.

Reference designators refer to the Block Diagram.  
Input Voltage Range  
The input voltage range for LT1936 applications depends  
on the output voltage and the Absolute Maximum Ratings  
of the VIN and BOOST pins.  
The minimum input voltage is determined by either the  
LT1936’s minimum operating voltage of ~3.45V or by its  
maximum duty cycle. The duty cycle is the fraction of time  
thattheinternalswitchisonandisdeterminedbytheinput

Of course, such a simple design guide will not always re-  
sult in the optimum inductor for your application. A larger  
valueprovidesaslightlyhighermaximumloadcurrentand  
will reduce the output voltage ripple. If your load is lower  
than 1.2A, then you can decrease the value of the inductor  
and operate with higher ripple current. This allows you to  
use a physically smaller inductor, or one with a lower DCR  
resultinginhigherefficiency.Beawarethatiftheinductance  
differsfromthesimpleruleabove, thenthemaximumload  
current will depend on input voltage. There are several  
graphs in the Typical Performance Characteristics section  
The maximum input voltage is determined by the absolute  
maximum ratings of the VIN and BOOST pins and by the

Note that this is a restriction on the operating input

voltage rating of the LT1936. A ceramic input capacitor  
combined with trace or cable inductance forms a high  
quality (under damped) tank circuit. If the LT1936 circuit  
is plugged into a live supply, the input voltage can ring to  
twice its nominal value, possibly exceeding the LT1936’s

of this data sheet that show the maximum load current as  
a function of input voltage and inductor value for several  
popular output voltages. Low inductance may result in  
discontinuous mode operation, which is okay but further  
reduces maximum load current. For details of maximum  
output current and discontinuous mode operation, see  
Linear Technology Application Note 44. Finally, for duty  
cycles greater than 50% (VOUT/VIN > 0.5), there is a mini-  
mum inductance required to avoid subharmonic oscilla-  
tions.ChoosingLgreaterthan1.6(VOUT +VD)µHprevents  
subharmonic oscillations at all duty cycles.  
For space sensitive applications, a 2.2µF ceramic capaci-  
tor can be used for local bypassing of the LT1936 input.  
However, the lower input capacitance will result in in-  
creased input current ripple and input voltage ripple, and  
may couple noise into other circuitry. Also, the increased  
voltage ripple will raise the minimum operating voltage of  
the LT1936 to ~3.7V.  
Catch Diode  
A 1A Schottky diode is recommended for the catch diode,  
D1. The diode must have a reverse voltage rating equal to  
or greater than the maximum input voltage. The ON  
Semiconductor MBRM140 is a good choice. It is rated for  
1A DC at a case temperature of 110°C and 1.5A at a case  
temperature of 95°C. Diode Incorporated’s DFLS140L is  
rated for 1.1A average current; the DFLS240L is rated for  
2A average current. The average diode current in an  
LT1936 application is approximately IOUT (1 – DC).  
Output Capacitor  
The output capacitor has two essential functions. Along  
with the inductor, it filters the square wave generated by  
the LT1936 to produce the DC output. In this role it  
determines the output ripple, and low impedance at the  
switching frequency is important. The second function is  
to store energy in order to satisfy transient loads and  
stabilize the LT1936’s control loop.  
Input Capacitor  
Ceramic capacitors have very low equivalent series resis-  
tance (ESR) and provide the best ripple performance. A  
good value is:  
Bypass the input of the LT1936 circuit with a 4.7µF or  
higher value ceramic capacitor of X7R or X5R type. Y5V  
types have poor performance over temperature and ap-  
plied voltage, and should not be used. A 4.7µF ceramic is  
adequate to bypass the LT1936 and will easily handle the  
ripplecurrent.However,iftheinputpowersourcehashigh  
impedance, or there is significant inductance due to long  
wires or cables, additional bulk capacitance may be nec-  
essary. This can be provided with a low performance  
electrolytic capacitor.

Transient performance can be improved with a high value  
capacitor if the compensation network is also adjusted to  
maintain the loop bandwidth.  
Step-down regulators draw current from the input supply  
in pulses with very fast rise and fall times. The input  
capacitor is required to reduce the resulting voltage ripple  
at the LT1936 and to force this very high frequency  
switching current into a tight local loop, minimizing EMI.  
A 4.7µF capacitor is capable of this task, but only if it is  
placed close to the LT1936 and the catch diode; see the  
PCB Layout section. A second precaution regarding the  
ceramic input capacitor concerns the maximum input  
A lower value of output capacitor can be used, but tran-  
sient performance will suffer. With an external compensa-  
tion network, the loop gain can be lowered to compensate  
for the lower capacitor value. When using the internal  
compensation network, the lowest value for stable opera-  
tion is:

and is required only if a phase-lead capacitor is used or if  
the output capacitor has high ESR. An alternative to using  
external compensation components is to use the internal  
RC network by tying the COMP pin to the VC pin. This  
reduces component count but does not provide the opti-  
mum transient response when the output capacitor value  
is high, and the circuit may not be stable when the output  
capacitor value is low. If the internal compensation net-  
work is not used, tie COMP to ground or leave it floating.  
This is the minimum output capacitance required, not the  
nominal capacitor value. For example, a 3.3V output  
requires 20µF of output capacitance. If a small 22µF, 6.3V  
ceramic capacitor is used, the circuit may be unstable  
because the effective capacitance is lower than the nomi-  
nal capacitance when biased at 3.3V. Look carefully at the  
capacitor’s data sheet to find out what the actual capaci-  
tance is under operating conditions (applied voltage and  
temperature). A physically larger capacitor, or one with a  
higher voltage rating, may be required.

should be specified by the supplier, and should be 0.05Ω  
or less. Such a capacitor will be larger than a ceramic  
capacitor and will have a larger capacitance, because the  
capacitor must be large to achieve low ESR. Table 2 lists  
several capacitor vendors.

The LT1936 uses current mode control to regulate the

the LT1936 does not require the ESR of the output capaci-

cation and in particular the type of output capacitor. A  
practical approach is to start with one of the circuits in this  
data sheet that is similar to your application and tune the  
compensation network to optimize the performance. Sta-  
bility should then be checked across all operating condi-  
tions,includingloadcurrent,inputvoltageandtemperature.

Note that the output capacitor integrates this current, and  
that the capacitor on the VC pin (CC) integrates the error  
amplifier output current, resulting in two poles in the loop.  
In most cases a zero is required and comes from either the  
output capacitor ESR or from a resistor RC in series with  
CC. This simple model works well as long as the value of  
the inductor is not too high and the loop crossover  
frequency is much lower than the switching frequency. A

may improve the transient response.

BOOST Pin Considerations  
Schottkydiode(suchastheONSemiMBR0540). Because  
the required boost voltage increases at low temperatures,  
the circuit will supply only 1A of output current when the  
ambient temperature is –45°C, increasing to 1.2A at 0°C.  
Also, the minimum input voltage to start the boost circuit  
is higher at low temperature. See the Typical Applications  
section for a 2.5V schematic and performance curves.  
Capacitor C3 and diode D2 are used to generate a boost  
voltage that is higher than the input voltage. In most cases  
a 0.22µF capacitor and fast switching diode (such as the  
1N4148 or 1N914) will work well. Figure 3 shows two  
ways to arrange the boost circuit. The BOOST pin must be  
at least 2.3V above the SW pin for best efficiency. For  
outputs of 3V and above, the standard circuit (Figure 3a)  
is best. For outputs between 2.8V and 3V, use a 0.47µF  
capacitor and a Schottky diode. For lower output voltages  
the boost diode can be tied to the input (Figure 3b), or to  
another supply greater than 2.8V. The circuit in Figure 3a  
is more efficient because the BOOST pin current comes  
from a lower voltage. You must also be sure that the  
maximumvoltageratingoftheBOOSTpinisnotexceeded.  
The minimum operating voltage of an LT1936 application  
is limited by the undervoltage lockout (~3.45V) and by the  
maximum duty cycle as outlined above. For proper start-  
up, the minimum input voltage is also limited by the boost  
circuit.Iftheinputvoltageisrampedslowly,ortheLT1936  
is turned on with its SHDN pin when the output is already  
in regulation, then the boost capacitor may not be fully  
charged. Because the boost capacitor is charged with the  
energy stored in the inductor, the circuit will rely on some  
minimum load current to get the boost circuit running  
properly. This minimum load will depend on input and  
output voltages, and on the arrangement of the boost  
circuit. The minimum load generally goes to zero once the  
circuit has started. Figure 4 shows a plot of minimum load  
to start and to run as a function of input voltage. In many  
cases the discharged output capacitor will present a load  
to the switcher, which will allow it to start. The plots show  
the worst-case situation where VIN is ramping very slowly.  
For lower start-up voltage, the boost diode can be tied to  
VIN; however, this restricts the input range to one-half of  
the absolute maximum rating of the BOOST pin.  
A 2.5V output presents a special case. This is a popular  
output voltage, and the advantage of connecting the boost  
circuit to the output is that the circuit will accept a 36V  
maximum input voltage rather than 20V (due to the  
BOOST pin rating). However, 2.5V is marginally adequate  
to support the boosted drive stage at low ambient tem-  
peratures. Therefore, special care and some restrictions

At light loads, the inductor current becomes discontinu-  
ous and the effective duty cycle can be very high. This  
reduces the minimum input voltage to approximately  
300mV above VOUT. At higher load currents, the inductor  
current is continuous and the duty cycle is limited by the  
maximum duty cycle of the LT1936, requiring a higher  
input voltage to maintain regulation.

The die temperature of the LT1936 must be lower than the  
maximum rating of 125°C (150°C for the H grade). This is  
generally not a concern unless the ambient temperature is  
above 85°C. For higher temperatures, care should be  
taken in the layout of the circuit to ensure good heat  
sinking of the LT1936. The maximum load current should  
be derated as the ambient temperature approaches 125°C  
(150°C for the H grade).  
PCB Layout  
For proper operation and minimum EMI, care must be  
taken during printed circuit board layout. Figure 7 shows  
therecommendedcomponentplacementwithtrace,ground  
plane and via locations. Note that large, switched currents  
flowintheLT1936’sVIN andSWpins, thecatchdiode(D1)  
and the input capacitor (C2). The loop formed by these  
components should be as small as possible. These com-  
ponents, along with the inductor and output capacitor,  
shouldbeplacedonthesamesideofthecircuitboard, and  
their connections should be made on that layer. Place a  
local, unbroken ground plane below these components.  
The SW and BOOST nodes should be as small as possible.  
Finally, keep the FB and VC nodes small so that the ground  
traces will shield them from the SW and BOOST nodes.  
The Exposed Pad on the bottom of the package must be  
soldered to ground so that the pad acts as a heat sink. To  
keep thermal resistance low, extend the ground plane as  
muchaspossible,andaddthermalviasunderandnearthe  
LT1936 to additional ground planes within the circuit  
board and on the bottom side.  
ThedietemperatureiscalculatedbymultiplyingtheLT1936  
power dissipation by the thermal resistance from junction  
to ambient. Power dissipation within the LT1936 can be  
estimated by calculating the total power loss from an  
efficiency measurement and subtracting the catch diode  
loss. The resulting temperature rise at full load is nearly  
independentofinputvoltage. Thermalresistancedepends  
on the layout of the circuit board, but values from 40°C/W  
to 60°C/W are typical.  
Die temperature rise was measured on a 4-layer, 5cm ×  
6.5cm circuit board in still air at a load current of 1.4A. For  
12V input to 3.3V output the die temperature elevation  
above ambient was 26°C; for 24V in to 3.3V out the rise  
was 31°C; for 12V in to 5V the rise was 31°C and for 24V  
in to 5V the rise was 34°C.
