Dual 36V, 700mA  
Step-Down Regulator  
FeaTures  
DescripTion  
TheLT®3509isadual,currentmode,step-downswitching  
regulator, with internal power switches each capable of  
providing700mAoutputcurrent.Thisregulatorprovidesa  
compactandrobustsolutionformulti-railsystemsinharsh  
environments. It incorporates several protection features  
including overvoltage lockout and cycle-by-cycle current  
limit. Thermal shutdown provides additional protection.  
Theloopcompensationcomponentsandtheboostdiodes  
are integrated on-chip. Switching frequency is set by a  
single external resistor. External synchronization is also  
possible. The high maximum switching frequency allows  
the use of small inductors and ceramic capacitors for low  
ripple. Constant frequency operation above the AM band  
avoidsinterferencewithradioreception,makingtheLT3509  
well suited for automotive applications. Each regulator  
has an independent shutdown and soft-start control pin.  
When both converters are powered down, the common  
circuitry enters a low current shutdown state.

operaTion  
Overview  
that when the voltage at FB reaches 0.8V, the main current  
comparatorthresholdwillfallandreducethepeakinductor  
current and hence the average current, until it matches the  
load current. By making current the controlled variable in  
the loop, the inductor impedance is effectively removed  
from the transfer function and the compensation network  
is simplified. The main current comparator threshold is  
reduced by the slope compensation signal to eliminate  
sub-harmonic oscillations at duty cycles >50%.  
The LT3509 is a dual, constant frequency, current mode  
switching regulator with internal power switches. The two  
independent channels share a common voltage reference  
andoscillatorandoperateinphase.Theswitchingfrequency  
is set by a single resistor and can also be synchronized to  
an external clock. Operation can be best understood by  
referring to the Block Diagram (Figure 1).  
Startup and Shutdown  
Current Limiting  
When the RUN/SS[1,2] pins are pulled low (<0.4V) the  
associatedregulatorchannelisshutdown.Ifbothchannels  
are shut down, the common circuitry also enters a low  
currentstate.WhentheRUN/SSpinsexceedapproximately  
0.8V, the common circuitry and the associated regulator  
are enabled but the output current is limited. From 0.8V  
up to 2.0V the current limit increases until it reaches the  
full value. The RUN/SS pins also incorporate a 1µA pull-  
up to approximately 3V, so the regulator will run if they  
are left open. A capacitor to ground will cause a current  
limited soft-start to occur at power-up. In the case of  
undervoltage, overvoltage or overtemperature conditions  
the internal circuitry will pull the RUN/SS pins down with  
a current of approximately 250µA. Thus a new soft-start  
cycle will occur when the fault condition ends.  
Current mode control provides cycle-by-cycle current  
limiting by means of a clamp on the maximumcurrent that  
can be provided by the switch. A comparator monitors the  
current flowing through the catch diode via the DA pin.  
This comparator delays switching if the diode current is  
higher than 0.95A (typical). This current level is indicative  
of a fault condition such as a shorted output with a high  
input voltage. Switching will only resume once the diode  
current has fallen below the 0.95A limit. This way the DA  
comparator regulates the valley current of the inductor to  
0.95A during a short circuit. This will ensure the part will  
survive a short-circuit event.  
Over and Undervoltage Shutdown  
A basic undervoltage lockout prevents switching if V  
IN  
Voltage and Current Regulation  
is below 3.3V (typical). The overvoltage shutdown stops  
the part from switching when V is greater than 38.5V  
IN  
The power switches are controlled by a current-mode  
regulator architecture. The power switch is turned on at  
the beginning of each clock cycle and turned off by the  
main current comparator. The inductor current will ramp  
up while the switch is on until it reaches the peak current  
threshold. The current at which it turns off is determined  
by the error amp and the internal compensation network.  
When the switch turns off, the current in the inductor  
will cause the SW pin to fall rapidly until the catch diode,  
D1, conducts. The voltage applied to the inductor will  
now reverse and the current will linearly fall. The resistor  
divider, R1 and R2, sets the desired output voltage such  
(typical). This protects the device and its load during  
momentary overvoltage events. After the input voltage  
falls below 38.5V, the part initiates a soft start sequence  
and resumes switching.  
BOOST Circuit  
To ensure best efficiency and minimum dropout voltage  
the output transistor base drive is boosted above V by  
IN  
the external boost capacitors (C4). When the SW pin is  
low the capacitors are charged via the BOOST diodes and  
the supply on BD.

Shutdown and Soft Start  
Setting The Output Voltage  
When the RUN/SS pins are pulled to ground, the part will  
shut down to its lowest current state of approximately  
9µA. If driving a large capacitive load it may be desirable  
to use the current limiting soft-start feature. Connecting  
capacitors to ground from the RUN/SS pins will control  
the delay until full current is available. The pull-up current  
is 1µA and the full current threshold is 2V so the start-up  
time is given by:  
The output voltage is programmed with a resistor divider  
between the output and the FB pin. Choose the resistors  
according to:  
V
R1=R2OUT 1

The designators correspond to Figure 1. R2 should be 20k  
or less to avoid bias current errors.

T = 2 C 10 s  
Frequency Setting  
For example a 0.005µF capacitor will give a time to full  
current of 10ms. If both outputs can come up together  
then the two inputs can be paralleled and tied to one ca-  
pacitor. In this case use twice the capacitor value to obtain  
the same start-up time. During the soft-start time both  
the peak current threshold and the DA current threshold  
will track so the part will skip pulses as required to limit  
the maximum inductor current. Starting up into a large  
capacitor is not much different to starting into a short-  
circuit in this respect.  
The timing resistor, R , for any desired frequency in the

External Synchronization  
the input voltage during the switch on time. Depending  
on the input and output voltages the boost supply can be  
providedbytheinputvoltage, oneoftheregulatedoutputs  
or an independent supply such as an LDO.  
The external synchronization provides a trigger to the  
internal oscillator. As such, it can only raise the frequency  
above the free-run value. To allow for device and  
component tolerances, the free run frequency should be  
set to at least 12% lower than the lowest supplied external  
synchronization reference. The oscillator and hence the  
switching frequency can then pushed up from 12% above  
Input Voltage Range  
Firstly, the LT3509 imposes some hard limits due to the  
undervoltage lock-out and the overvoltage protection. A  
givenapplicationwillalsohaveareduced,normaloperating  
range over which maximum efficiency and lowest ripple  
are obtained. This usually requires that the device is  
operating at a fixed frequency without skipping pulses.  
There may also be zones above and below the normal  
range where regulation is maintained but efficiency and  
ripple may be compromised. At the low end, insufficient  
input voltage will cause loss of regulation and increased  
ripple—this is the dropout range. At the high end if the  
duty cycle becomes too low this will cause pulse skipping  
and excessive ripple. This is the pulse-skip region. Both  
situationsalsoleadtohighernoiseatfrequenciesotherthan  
the chosen switching frequency. Occasional excursions  
into pulse-skip mode, during surges for example, may be  
tolerable. Pulse skipping will also occur at light loads even  
within the normal operating range but ripple is usually not  
degraded because at light load the output capacitor can  
hold the voltage steady between pulses.

if the minimum external clock is 300kHz, the R should

The SYNC input has a threshold of 1.0V nominal so it is  
compatible with most logic levels. The duty cycle is not  
critical provided the high or low pulse width is at least  
80ns. If not used, the SYNC input should be tied low with  
10kΩ less to avoid noise pickup.  
Design Procedure  
Before starting detailed design a number of key design  
parameters should be established as these may affect  
design decisions and component choices along the way.  
Oneofthemainthingstodetermineapartfromthedesired  
outputvoltagesistheinputvoltagerange. Boththenormal  
operating range and the extreme conditions of surges  
and/or dips or brown-outs need to be known. Then the  
operating frequency should be considered and if there  
are particular requirements to avoid interference. If there  
are very specific frequencies that need to be avoided then  
externalsynchronizationmaybeneeded.Thiscouldalsobe  
desirable if multiple switchers are used as low frequency

For input voltages greater than 30V, there are restrictions  
on the inductor value. See the Inductor Selection section  
for details.  
To ensure the regulator is operating in continuous mode  
it is necessary to calculate the duty cycle for the required  
output voltage over the full input voltage range. This must  
then be compared with minimum and maximum practical  
duty cycles.

In any step-down switcher the duty cycle when operating  
in continuous, or fixed frequency, mode is dependent  
on the step-down ratio. This is because for a constant  
average load current the decay of the inductor current  
when the switch is off must match the increase in inductor  
current when the switch is on. The can be estimated by  
the following formula:  
The minimum on time increases with increasing tempera-  
ture so the value for the maximum operating temperature  
shouldbeused.SeetheMinimumOn-TimevsTemperature

Minimum Input Voltage and Boost Architecture  
boost capacitors to fully saturate the switch. This is most  
problematicwhentheBDpinissuppliedfromtheregulated  
output. The net result is that a higher input voltage will be  
requiredtostartuptheboostsystem.Thetypicalminimum  
input voltage over a range of loads is shown in Figure 5  
for 3.3V and Figure 6 for 5V.  
The minimum operating voltage is determined either by  
the LT3509’s internal undervoltage lockout of ~3.6V or  
by its maximum duty cycle. The maximum duty cycle for  
fixed frequency operation is given by:  
DCMAX =1tOFF(MIN) fSW  
Whenoperatingatsuchhighdutycyclesthepeakcurrents  
in the boost diodes are greater and this will require a the  
BD supply to be somewhat higher than would be required  
atlessextremedutycycles.Ifoperationatlowinput/output

desirabletoaugmenttheinternalboostdiodeswithexternal

It follows that:

VIN(MIN)

DCMAX  
If a reduction in switching frequency can be tolerated the  
minimum input voltage can drop to just above output  
voltage. Not only is the output transistor base pumped  
above the input voltage by the boost capacitor, the  
switch can remain on through multiple switching cycles  
resulting in a high effective duty cycle. Thus, this is a  
true low dropout regulator. As it is necessary to recharge  
the boost capacitor from time to time, a minimum width  
off-cyclewillbeforcedoccasionallytomaintainthecharge.  
Depending on the operating frequency, the duty cycle can  
reach97%to98%,althoughatthispointtheoutputpulses  
will be at a sub-multiple of the programmed frequency.  
One other consideration is that at very light loads or no  
load the part will go into pulse skipping mode. The part  
will then have trouble getting enough voltage on to the  
Boost Pin Considerations  
The boost capacitor, in conjunction with the internal boost  
diode,providesabootstrappedsupplyforthepowerswitch  
that is above the input voltage. For operation at 1MHz and  
above and at reasonable duty cycles a 0.1µF capacitor  
will work well. For operation at lower frequencies and/or  
higher duty cycles something larger may be needed. A  
good rule of thumb is:

Boost Pin Considerations  
In any case, be sure that the maximum voltage at the  
BOOST pin is less than 60V and the voltage difference  
between the BOOST and SW pins is less than 30V.  
Figure 7 through Figure 9 show several ways to arrange  
the boost circuit. The BOOST pin must be more than 2V  
above the SW pin for full efficiency. For outputs of 3.3V  
and higher, the standard circuit Figure 7 is best. For lower  
output voltages, the boost diode can be tied to the input  
Figure 8. The circuit in Figure 7 is more efficient because  
the boost pin current comes from a lower voltage source.  
Finally, as shown in Figure 9, the BD pin can be tied to  
another source that is at least 3V. For example, if you are  
generating 3.3V and 1.8V, and the 3.3V is on whenever  
the 1.8V is on, the 1.8V boost diode can be connected to  
the 3.3V output.  
Inductor Selection and Maximum Output Current  
A good first choice for the inductor value is:

where V is the voltage drop of the catch diode (~0.5V)  
F
and L is in µH.  
Theinductor’sRMScurrentratingmustbegreaterthanthe  
maximum load current and its saturation current should  
be at least 30% higher. For highest efficiency, the series  
resistance (DCR) should be less than 0.15Ω. Table 2 lists  
several vendors and types that are suitable.

When the switch is off, the potential across the inductor is  
theoutputvoltageplusthecatchdiodeforwardvoltage.This  
gives the peak-to-peak ripple current in the inductor:  
There is a limit to the actual minimum duty cycle imposed  
bytheminimumon-timeoftheswitch. Forarobustdesign  
it is important that inductor that will not saturate when  
the switch is at its minimum on-time, the input voltage  
is at maximum and the output is short circuited. In this  
case the full input voltage, less the drop in the switch, will  
appear across the inductor. This doesn’t require an actual  
short, just starting into a capacitive load will provide the  
same conditions. The Diode current sensing scheme will  
ensure that the switch will not turn-on if the inductor  
current is above the DA current limit threshold, which has  
a maximum of 1.1A. The peak current under short-circuit

The value of the output capacitor greatly affects the  
transient response to a load step. It has to supply extra  
current demand or absorb excess current delivery until  
the feedback loop can respond. The loop response is  
dependent on the error amplifier transconductance, the  
internal compensation capacitor and the feedback net-  
work. Higher output voltages necessarily require a larger  
feedback divider ratio. This will also reduce the loop gain  
and slow the response time. Fortunately this effect can be

the thermal shutdown limit. One other important feature  
of the part that needs to be considered is that there is a  
parasitic diode in parallel with the power switch. In normal  
operation this is reverse biased but it could conduct if the  
load can be powered from an alternate source when the  
LT3509 has no input. This may occur in battery charging  
applications or in battery backup systems where a bat-  
tery or some other supply is diode ORed with one of the  
LT3509 regulated outputs. If the SW pin is at more than  
The catch diode (D1 from Figure 1) conducts current only  
during switch off time. Average forward current in normal  
operation can be calculated from:  
ID(AVG) =IOUT(VIN – VOUT)/ VIN  
The only reason to consider a diode with a larger current  
rating than necessary for nominal operation is for the  
worst-case condition of shorted output. The diode current  
will then increase to the typical peak switch current limit.  
If transient input voltages exceed 40V, use a Schottky  
diode with a reverse voltage rating of 45V or higher. If  
the maximum transient input voltage is under 40V, use a  
Schottky diode with a reverse voltage rating greater than  
the maximum input voltage. Table 3 lists several Schottky  
diodes and their manufacturers:

and up to 2mA could be drawn from the backup supply.  
This can be minimized if some discreteFETs oropen-drain  
buffers are used to pull down the RUN/SS pins. Of course  
the gates need to be driven from the standby or battery  
backed supply. If there is the possibility of a short circuit

Hot Plugging Considerations  
The loop from the regulated outputs through the output  
capacitor back to the ground plane. Excess impedance  
here will result in excessive ripple at the output.  
The small size, reliability and low impedance of ceramic  
capacitors make them attractive for the input capacitor.  
Unfortunately they can be hazardous to semiconductor  
devices if combined with an inductive supply loop and a  
fastpowertransitionsuchasthroughamechanicalswitch  
or connector. The low loss ceramic capacitor combined  
with the just a small amount of wiring inductance forms  
an underdamped resonant tank circuit and the voltage at  
The area of the SW and BOOST nodes should as small as  
possible. Also the feedback components should be placed  
as close as possible to the FB pins so that the traces are  
short and shielded from the SW and BOOST nodes by the  
ground planes.  
Figure 13 shows a detail view of a practical board layout

larger at 7.5cm × 7.5cm. The device has been evaluated  
on this board in still air running at 700kHz switching fre-  
quency. One channel was set to 5V and the other to 3.3V  
and both channels were fully loaded to 700mA. The device  
temperature reached approximately 15°C above ambient  
for input voltages below 12V. At 24V input it was slightly  
higher at 17°C above ambient.  
the V pin of the LT3509 can ring to twice the nominal

input voltage. See Linear Technology Application Note 88  
for more details.  
PCB Layout and Thermal Design  
The PCB layout is critical to both the electrical and thermal  
performanceoftheLT3509.Mostimportantistheconnec-  
tion to the Exposed Pad which provides the main ground  
connection and also a thermal path for cooling the chip.  
This must be soldered to a topside copper plane which  
is also tied to backside and/or internal plane(s) with an  
array of thermal vias.  
To obtain the best electrical performance particular  
attention should be paid to keeping the following current  
paths short:  
The loop from the V pin through the input capacitor  
IN  
back to the ground pad and plane. This sees high di/dt  
transitions as the power switches turn on and off. Ex-  
cessimpedancewilldegradetheminimumusableinput  
voltage and could cause crosstalk between channels.  
The loops from the switch pins to the catch diodes and  
back to the DA pins. The fast changing currents and  
voltage here combined with long PCB traces will cause  
ringing on the switch pin and may result in unwelcome  
EMI.
