FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LT®3505 is a current mode PWM step-down DC/DC
converter with an internal 1.4A power switch. The wide
operating input range of 3.6V to 36V (40V maximum)
makes the LT3505 ideal for regulating power from a wide
variety of sources, including unregulated wall transform-
ers, 24V industrial supplies and automotive batteries. The
oscillatorcanbeprogrammedforhighfrequencyoperation
allowing the use of tiny, low cost external components or
it can be programmed for lower frequency operation to
maximize efficiency.

PIN FUNCTIONS
BOOST (Pin 1): The BOOST pin is used to provide a drive
voltage,higherthantheinputvoltage,totheinternalbipolar
NPN power switch.
RT (Pin 6): The RT pin is used to program the switching
frequency of the LT3505 by connecting a resistor from
thispintoground.TheApplicationsInformationsectionof
the data sheet includes a table to determine the resistance
value based on the desired switching frequency. Minimize
capacitance at this pin.
SW (Pin 2): The SW pin is the output of the internal power
switch. Connect this pin to the inductor, catch diode and
boost capacitor.
FB(Pin7):TheLT3505regulatesitsfeedbackpinto780mV.
Connect the feedback resistor divider tap to this pin. Set
the output voltage by selecting R1 according to:
VIN (Pin 3): The VIN pin supplies current to the LT3505’s
internal regulator and to the internal power switch. This
pin must be locally bypassed.
VOUT
0.78V
SHDN (Pin 4): The SHDN pin is used to put the LT3505 in
shutdown mode. Tie to ground to shut down the LT3505.
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 Applications Infor-
mation section.
R1= R2
– 1
A good value for R2 is 10.0k.
VC (Pin 8): The VC pin is used to compensate the LT3505
control loop by tying an external RC network from this
pin to ground.
GND (Pin 5): Tie the GND pin to a local ground plane
below the LT3505 and the circuit components. Return the
feedback 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.

OPERATION (Refer to Block Diagram)
The LT3505 is a constant frequency, current mode step-
downregulator.Aresistor-programmedoscillatorenables
an RS flip-flop, turning on the internal 1.4A 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 the VC pin. An error amplifier measures the
output voltage through an external resistor divider tied to
the FB pin and servos the VC node. If the error amplifier’s
output increases, more current is delivered to the output;
if it decreases, less current is delivered. An active clamp
(not shown) on the VC node provides current limit. The
VC node 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.
Aninternalregulatorprovidespowertothecontrolcircuitry.
Thisregulatorincludesanundervoltagelockouttoprevent
switching when VIN is less than ~3.4V. The SHDN pin is
used to place the LT3505 in shutdown, disconnecting the
output and reducing the input current to 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 opera-
tion.
When the FB pin is low, the voltage at the RT pin decreases
toreducetheoscillatorfrequency.Thisfrequencyfoldback
helps to control the output current during start-up and
overload.

The typical performance characteristics section of the
datasheet contains a graph of minimum on-time versus
temperature to help determine the worst-case minimum
on-time for the intended application.

If the input voltage is high enough that the duty-cycle
requirement is lower than DCMIN, the part enters pulse-
skipping mode. Specifically, the onset of pulse-skipping
occurs at:
R2 should be 20k or less to avoid bias current errors.
Reference designators refer to the Block Diagram.
Input Voltage Range
VIN(PS) = (VOUT + VD) / DCMIN – VD + VSW
The input voltage range for LT3505 applications depends
on the output voltage, on the absolute maximum ratings
of the VIN and BOOST pins, and on the programmed
switching frequency.
Above VIN(PS) the part turns on for brief periods of time
to control the inductor current and regulate the output
voltage, possibly producing a spectrum of frequencies
below the programmed switching frequency. To remain
in constant-frequency operation the input voltage should
remain below VIN(PS). See the “Minimum On Time” sec-
tion of the data sheet for more information on operating
The minimum input voltage is determined by either the
LT3505’s minimum operating voltage of 3.6V, or by its
maximum duty cycle. The duty cycle is the fraction of
time that the internal switch is on and is determined by
the input and output voltages:

tolerate brief transient inputs up to the absolute maximum
ratings of the VIN and BOOST pins when the output is in
regulation. The input voltage should be limited to VIN(PS)
during overload conditions (short-circuit or start-up).

For switching frequencies less than 750kHz, the part
will still regulate the output at input voltages that exceed
VIN(PS) (up to 40V), however, the output voltage ripple
increases as the input voltage is increased. Figure 1 il-

The maximum input voltage is determined by the abso-

constant-frequencyoperation,themaximuminputvoltage
is determined by the minimum duty cycle requirement.
As the input voltage increases, the required duty cycle
to regulate the output voltage decreases. The minimum
duty-cycle is:
As the input voltage is increased, the part is required to
switch for shorter periods of time. Delays associated with
turning off the power switch determine the minimum on
time of the part. The worst-case typical minimum on-time
is 130ns. Figure 2 illustrates the switching waveforms
when the input voltage is increased to VIN = 35V.

Now the required on time has decreased below the
minimum on time of 130ns. Instead of the switch pulse
width becoming narrower to accommodate the lower duty
cycle requirement, the switch pulse width remains fixed
at 130ns. In Figure 2 the inductor current ramps up to a
value exceeding the load current and the output ripple
increases to ~200mV. The part then remains off until the
output voltage dips below 100% of the programmed value
before it begins switching again.

LT3505
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
When the input voltage is below 16V, the zener diode
path conducts no current and the current flowing out
of the RT pin (and through R4) is nominally 0.5V/20k =
25µA, which programs a 2.2MHz switching frequency.
As the input voltage is increased above 16V, the zener
diode begins to conduct and gradually reduces the cur-
rent flowing out of the RT pin. This mechanism reduces
the switching frequency as the input voltage is increased
above 16V (up to 36V) to ensure that the part constantly
operates in continuous mode without skipping pulses,
thereby preventing the excessive die temperature rise
encountered in pulse-skipping mode.
Finite transistor bandwidth limits the speed at which the
power switch can be turned on and off, effectively setting
theminimumon-timeoftheLT3505.Foragivenoutputvolt-
age,theminimumon-timedeterminesthemaximuminput
voltage to remain in continuous mode operation, VIN(PS)
.
See the “Input Voltage Range” section of the datasheet for
more information on determining VIN(PS). For switching
frequencies below 750kHz, operation above VIN(PS) (up
to 40V) is safe provided that the system will tolerate the
pulse-skipping behavior outlined in the “Minimum On
Time” section of the datasheet. At switching frequencies
exceeding 750kHz, edge loss limits operation to input
voltages below VIN(PS)
.
Although the circuit can be operated indefinitely above
VZENER, this frequency foldback method is intended to
protect circuits during temporary periods of high input
voltage. For example, in many automotive systems, the
normal operating input range might be 9V to 16V, and
the LT3505 can be programmed to operate above the
AM band (>1.8MHz). At the same time, the circuit must
be able to withstand higher input voltages due to load
dump or double-battery jump starts. During these brief
periods, it is usually acceptable to switch at a frequency
within the AM band.
Finite transition time results in a small amount of power
dissipation each time the power switch turns on and off
(edge loss). Edge loss increases with frequency, switch
current, and input voltage.
Input Voltage Frequency Foldback
In constant frequency operation (below VIN(PS)) edge
loss only reduces the application efficiency. However, at
high switching frequencies exceeding 750kHz and input
voltagesexceedingVIN(PS),thepartoperatesinpulse-skip-
ping mode and the switch current can increase above the
current limit of the part, 1.75A. This further increases the
power dissipated during switch transitions and increases
die temperature. To remedy the situation a single resis-
tor (R5) and a zener diode (D3) can be added to a typical
LT3505 circuit as shown in Figure 4.
Iftheoutputisshortedwhiletheinputvoltageisgreaterthan
VZENER, the switching frequency will be reduced to 30kHz
and the part will not be able to recover from the short until

because it may become possible for R5 to compensate
100% of the current flowing through R4 reducing the
frequency to 30kHz. In this state the part is not able to
start into large output current loads.
Whenever the voltage at the FB pin is below 600mV, the
LT3505 folds back the switching frequency by reducing
the bias voltage at the RT pin. If the input voltage is higher
than the zener voltage, the reduced voltage at the RT pin
results in a larger voltage drop across R5, and a reduced
voltage drop across R4. The current carried by R5 may
be large enough to completely compensate the current
flowing through R4, reducing the frequency to 30kHz. In

Inductor Selection and Maximum Output Current
A good first choice for the inductor value is:
L = 1.2 (VOUT + VD)/fSW
Catch Diode
Depending on load current, a 1A to 2A Schottky diode is
recommended for the catch diode, D1. The diode must
have a reverse voltage rating equal to or greater than the
maximuminputvoltage.TheONSemiconductorMBRM140
is a good choice; it is rated for 1A continuous forward
current and a maximum reverse voltage of 40V.
where VD is the voltage drop of the catch diode (~0.4V),
L is in µH and fSW is in MHz. With this value there will
be no subharmonic oscillation for applications with 50%
or greater duty cycle. The inductor’s RMS current rating
must be greater than your maximum load current and
its saturation current should be about 30% higher. For
robustoperationinfaultconditions, thesaturationcurrent
should be above 2.2A. To keep efficiency high, the series
resistance (DCR) should be less than 0.1 . Table 2 lists
several vendors and types that are suitable.
Input Capacitor
The input of the LT3505 circuit must be bypassed with a
X7R or X5R type ceramic capacitor. Y5V types have poor
performance over temperature and applied voltage and
should not be used. For switching frequencies higher than
750kHz,bypasstheinputwitha1µForhighervalueceramic
capacitor.Forswitchingfrequenciesbelow750kHz,bypass
the input with a 2.2µF or higher value ceramic capacitor.
If the input power source has high impedance, or there is
significantinductanceduetolongwiresorcables,additional
bulk capacitance may be necessary. This can be provided
with a low performance electrolytic capacitor.
Of course, such a simple design guide will not always
result in the optimum inductor for your application. A
larger value provides a higher maximum load current and
reduces output voltage ripple at the expense of slower
transient response. 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 physi-
cally smaller inductor, or one with a lower DCR resulting
in higher efficiency. There are several graphs in the Typical
PerformanceCharacteristicssectionofthisdatasheetthat
show the maximum load current as a function of input
voltage and inductor value for several popular output volt-
ages. Low inductance may result in discontinuous mode
operation, which is okay, but further reduces maximum
load current. For details on maximum output current and
discontinuous mode operation, see Linear Technology
Application Note 44.
Step-down regulators draw current from the input sup-
ply in pulses with very fast rise and fall times. The input
capacitor is required to reduce the resulting voltage
ripple at the LT3505 and to force this very high frequency
switching current into a tight local loop, minimizing EMI.
To accomplish this task, the input bypass capacitor must
be placed close to the LT3505 and the catch diode; see
the PCB Layout section. A second precaution regarding
the ceramic input capacitor concerns the maximum input
voltage rating of the LT3505. A ceramic input capacitor
combined with trace or cable inductance forms a high
quality (underdamped) tank circuit. If the LT3505 circuit
is plugged into a live supply, the input voltage can ring to

the Hot Plugging Safely section.
High performance electrolytic capacitors can be used for
theoutputcapacitor. LowESRisimportant, sochooseone
that is intended for use in switching regulators. The ESR
should be specified by the supplier and should be 0.1Ω
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 3 lists
several capacitor vendors.
Output Capacitor
The output capacitor has two essential functions. Along
with the inductor, it filters the square wave generated by
the LT3505 to produce the DC output. In this role it deter-
mines the output ripple so low impedance at the switching
frequency is important. The second function is to store
energy in order to satisfy transient loads and stabilize the
LT3505’s control loop.
Figure 5 shows the transient response of the LT3505 with
several output capacitor choices. The output is 3.3V. The
load current is stepped from 500mA to 1.2A and back
to 500mA and the oscilloscope traces show the output
voltage. The upper photo shows the recommended value.
The second photo shows the improved response (less
voltage drop) resulting from a larger output capacitor
and a larger phase lead capacitor. The last photo shows
the response to a high performance electrolytic capaci-
tor. Transient performance is improved due to the large
output capacitance.
Ceramic capacitors have very low equivalent series re-
sistance (ESR) and provide the best ripple performance.
A good value is:
COUT = 49/(VOUT • fSW
)
where COUT is in µF and fSW is in MHz. Use X5R or X7R
types and keep in mind that a ceramic capacitor biased
with VOUT will have less than its nominal capacitance. This
choice will provide low output ripple and good transient
response. Transient performance can be improved with a
high value capacitor, if the compensation network is also
adjusted to maintain the loop bandwidth.
BOOST Pin Considerations
Capacitor C3 and diode D2 are used to generate a boost
voltage that is higher than the input voltage. In most cases
a 0.1µF capacitor and fast switching diode (such as the
1N4148 or 1N914) will work well. Figure 6 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 3.3V and above, the standard circuit (Figure 6a)
is best. For outputs between 3V and 3.3V, use a 0.22µF
capacitor. For outputs between 2.5V and 3V, use a 0.47µF
A lower value of output capacitor can be used, but tran-
sient performance will suffer unless the compensation
network is adjusted to reduce the loop gain. Also, a lower
value output capacitor may result in increased sensitivity
to noise which can be alleviated by adding a 22pF phase
lead capacitor from FB to VOUT

of the BOOST pin.
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
400mV above VOUT. At higher load currents, the inductor
current is continuous and the duty cycle is limited by the
maximum duty cycle of the LT3505, requiring a higher
input voltage to maintain regulation.
The minimum operating voltage of an LT3505 applica-
tion is limited by the undervoltage lockout (3.6V) and by
the maximum duty cycle as outlined above. For proper
start-up, the minimum input voltage is also limited by
the boost circuit. If the input voltage is ramped slowly,
or the LT3505 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 the 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 7 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 verly 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
Soft-Start
TheSHDNpincanbeusedtosoft-starttheLT3505,reducing
themaximuminputcurrentduringstart-up. TheSHDNpin
is driven through an external RC filter to create a voltage
ramp at this pin. Figure 8 shows the start-up waveforms
with and without the soft-start circuit. By choosing a large
RCtimeconstant, thepeakstartupcurrentcanbereduced
to the current that is required to regulate the output, with
no overshoot. Choose the value of the resistor so that it
can supply 20µA when the SHDN pin reaches 2.3V.
Shorted and Reversed Input Protection
If the inductor is chosen so that it won’t saturate exces-
sively, an LT3505 buck regulator will tolerate a shorted
output. There is another situation to consider in systems
where the output will be held high when the input to the
LT3505 is absent. This may occur in battery charging ap-

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
plications or in battery backup systems where a battery
or some other supply is diode OR-ed with the LT3505’s
output. If the VIN pin is allowed to float and the SHDN pin
is held high (either by a logic signal or because it is tied
to VIN), then the LT3505’s internal circuitry will pull its
quiescent current through its SW pin. This is fine if your
system can tolerate a few mA in this state. If you ground
the SHDN pin, the SW pin current will drop to essentially
zero. However, if the VIN pin is grounded while the output
is held high, then parasitic diodes inside the LT3505 can
pull large currents from the output through the SW pin
and the VIN pin. Figure 9 shows a circuit that will run only
whentheinputvoltageispresentandthatprotectsagainst
a shorted or reversed input.

The small size, robustness and low impedance of ceramic
capacitors make them an attractive option for the input

damaging the part. If the input supply is poorly controlled
or the user will be plugging the LT3505 into an energized
supply, the input network should be designed to prevent
this overshoot.
alternative solution is shown in Figure 9c. A 1Ω resistor
is added in series with the input to eliminate the voltage
overshoot (it also reduces the peak input current). A 0.1µF
capacitorimproveshighfrequencyfiltering.Thissolutionis
smaller and less expensive than the electrolytic capacitor.
For high input voltages its impact on efficiency is minor,
reducing efficiency only one percent for a 5V output at full
load operating from 24V.
Figure10showsthewaveformsthatresultwhenanLT3505
circuit is connected to a 24V supply through six feet of
24-gauge twisted pair. The first plot is the response with
a 2.2µF ceramic capacitor at the input. The input voltage
rings as high as 35V and the input current peaks at 20A.
One method of damping the tank circuit is to add another
capacitor with a series resistor to the circuit. In Figure 9b
an aluminum electrolytic capacitor has been added. This
capacitor’s high equivalent series resistance damps the
circuit and eliminates the voltage overshoot. The extra
capacitor improves low frequency ripple filtering and
can slightly improve the efficiency of the circuit, though
it is likely to be the largest component in the circuit. An
Frequency Compensation
The LT3505 uses current mode control to regulate the
output. This simplifies loop compensation. In particular,
the LT3505 does not require the ESR of the output capaci-
tor for stability allowing the use of ceramic capacitors to
achieve low output ripple and small circuit size.
Frequency compensation is provided by the components
tied to the VC pin, as shown in Figure 10. Generally a

Loop compensation determines the stability and transient
performance.Designingthecompensationnetworkisabit

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 com-
pensation network to optimize the performance. Stability
should then be checked across all operating conditions,
includingloadcurrent, inputvoltageandtemperature. The

recommended component placement with trace, ground
plane and via locations. Note that large, switched currents
flow in the LT3505’s VIN and SW pins, the catch diode (D1)
and the input capacitor (C2). The loop formed by these
components should be as small as possible and tied to

loop. The error amp is a transconductance amplifier with
finite output impedance. The power section, consisting of
the modulator, power switch and inductor, is modeled as
a transconductance amplifier generating an output cur-
rent proportional to the voltage at the VC node. Note that
the output capacitor integrates this current and that the
capacitor on the VC node (CC) integrates the error ampli-
fier output current, resulting in two poles in the loop. RC
provides a zero. With the recommended output capacitor,
theloopcrossoveroccursabovetheRCCCzero.Thissimple
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. With a larger ceramic
capacitor (very low ESR), crossover may be lower and a
phaseleadcapacitor(CPL)acrossthefeedbackdividermay
improve the phase margin and transient response. Large
electrolytic capacitors may have an ESR large enough to
create an additional zero and the phase lead may not be
necessary.

with the inductor and output capacitor, should be placed

plane below these components and tie this ground plane
to system ground at one location, ideally at the ground
terminal of the output capacitor C1. The SW and BOOST
nodes should be as small as possible. Finally, keep the
FB node small so that the ground pin and ground traces
will shield it from the SW and BOOST nodes. Include vias
near the exposed GND pad of the LT3505 to help remove
heat from the LT3505 to the ground plane.
Outputs Greater Than 6V
For outputs greater than 6V, add a 1k to 2.5k resistor
across the inductor to damp the discontinuous ringing
of the SW node, preventing unintended SW current. The
12V Step-Down Converter circuit in the Typical Applica-
tions section shows the location of this resistor. Also note
that for outputs above 10V, the input voltage range will
be limited by the maximum rating of the BOOST pin. The
12V circuit shows how to overcome this limitation using
an additional zener diode.
High Temperature Considerations
The die temperature of the LT3505 must be lower than the
maximum rating of 125°C. 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 LT3505. The
maximum load current should be derated as the ambient
temperature approaches 125°C. The die temperature is
calculated by multiplying the LT3505 power dissipation
bythethermalresistancefromjunctiontoambient. Power
