Saturating Switch Design: 95m On-Resistance  
0.790V Feedback Reference Voltage  
Output Voltage: 0.79V to 30V  
Thermal Protection  
input voltages up to 36V. A high efficiency 95m switch  
is included on the die along with a boost Schottky diode  
and the necessary oscillator, control, and logic circuitry.  
Current mode topology is used for fast transient response  
and good loop stability. Shutdown reduces input supply  
current to less than 1μA while a resistor and capacitor on  
the RUN/SS pin provide a controlled output voltage ramp  
Q
(soft-start). A power good flag signals when V  
reaches  
OUT  
91% of the programmed output voltage. The LT3693 is  
available in 10-Pin MSOP and 3mm × 3mm DFN packages  
with exposed pads for low thermal resistance.

LT3693  
OPERATION  
The LT3693 is a constant frequency, current mode step-  
down regulator. An oscillator, with frequency set by RT,  
enables an RS flip-flop, turning on the internal power  
switch. An amplifier and comparator monitor the current  
efficiency. The RUN/SS pin is used to place the LT3693  
in shutdown, disconnecting the output and reducing the  
input current to less than 0.5μA.  
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.

voltage at V . An error amplifier measures the output

voltage through an external resistor divider tied to the FB  
pin and servos the V pin. If the error amplifier’s output

5.5A at low duty cycles and decreases linearly to 4.5A at  
DC = 0.8. The maximum output current is a function of  
the inductor ripple current:  
If the output is in regulation and no short-circuit, start-  
up, or overload events are expected, then input voltage  
transients of up to 36V are acceptable regardless of the  
switching frequency. In this mode, the LT3693 may enter  
pulse skipping operation where some switching pulses  
are skipped to maintain output regulation. In this mode  
the output voltage ripple and inductor current ripple will  
be higher than in normal operation.

the maximum load current and its saturation current

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
Of course, such a simple design guide will not always re-  
sult in the optimum inductor for your application. A larger  
value inductor provides a slightly higher maximum load  
current and will reduce the output voltage ripple. If your  
load is lower than 3.5A, then you can decrease the value  
oftheinductorandoperatewithhigherripplecurrent. This  
allows you to use a physically smaller inductor, or one  
with a lower DCR resulting in higher efficiency. There are  
several graphs in the Typical Performance Characteristics  
section 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 opera-  
tion, see Linear Technology Application Note 44. Finally,  
ceramic input capacitor concerns the maximum input  
voltage rating of the LT3693. A ceramic input capacitor  
combined with trace or cable inductance forms a high  
quality (under damped) tank circuit. If the LT3693 circuit  
is plugged into a live supply, the input voltage can ring to  
twice its nominal value, possibly exceeding the LT3693’s  
voltage rating. This situation is easily avoided (see the Hot  
Plugging Safety section).  
For space sensitive applications, a 4.7μF ceramic capaci-  
tor can be used for local bypassing of the LT3693 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 LT3693 to ~3.7V.

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  
LT3693’s control loop. Ceramic capacitors have very low  
equivalent series resistance (ESR) and provide the best  
ripple performance. A good starting value is:  
oscillations. See AN19.  
Input Capacitor  
Bypass the input of the LT3693 circuit with a ceramic  
capacitor of X7R or X5R type. Y5V types have poor  
performance over temperature and applied voltage, and  
should not be used. A 10μF to 22μF ceramic capacitor is  
adequate to bypass the LT3693 and will easily handle the  
ripplecurrent.Notethatlargerinputcapacitanceisrequired  
when a lower switching frequency is used. If the input  
power source has high impedance, or there is significant  
inductance due to long wires or cables, additional bulk  
capacitance may be necessary. This can be provided with  
a lower performance electrolytic capacitor.

output capacitance in μF. Use X5R or X7R types. This  
choice will provide low output ripple and good transient  
response. Transient performance can be improved with  
a higher value capacitor if the compensation network is  
also adjusted to maintain the loop bandwidth. A lower  
value of output capacitor can be used to save space and  
cost but transient performance will suffer. See the Fre-  
quency Compensation section to choose an appropriate  
compensation network.  
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 LT3693 and to force this very high frequency  
switching current into a tight local loop, minimizing EMI.  
A 10μF capacitor is capable of this task, but only if it is  
placed close to the LT3693 and the catch diode (see the  
PCB Layout section). A second precaution regarding the

When choosing a capacitor, look carefully through the  
data sheet to find out what the actual capacitance is under  
operating conditions (applied voltage and temperature).  
A physically larger capacitor, or one with a higher volt-  
age rating, may be required. High performance tantalum  
or electrolytic capacitors can be used for the output  
capacitor. Low ESR is important, so choose one that is  
intended for use in switching regulators. The ESR should  
be specified by the supplier, and should be 0.05 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.

LT3693  
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
The minimum operating voltage of an LT3693 application  
is limited by the minimum input voltage (3.6V) and by the  
maximum duty cycle as outlined in a previous section. For  
proper startup, the minimum input voltage is also limited  
by the boost circuit. If the input voltage is ramped slowly,  
or the LT3693 is turned on with its RUN/SS 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 5 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

output. There is another situation to consider in systems  
where the output will be held high when the input to the

pin is held high (either by a logic signal or because it is  
tied to V ), then the LT3693’s internal circuitry will pull  
IN  
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 RUN/SS pin, the SW pin current will drop to

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  
much as possible, and add thermal vias under and near  
the LT3693 to additional ground planes within the circuit

protects against a shorted or reversed input.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
Hot Plugging Safely  
energized supply, the input network should be designed  
to prevent this overshoot. Figure 9 shows the waveforms  
that result when an LT3693 circuit is connected to a 24V  
supply through six feet of 24-gauge twisted pair. The  
first plot is the response with a 4.7μF ceramic capacitor  
at the input. The input voltage rings as high as 50V and  
the input current peaks at 26A. A good solution is shown  
in Figure 9b. A 0.7 resistor is added in series with the  
input to eliminate the voltage overshoot (it also reduces  
the peak input current). A 0.1μF capacitor improves high  
frequency filtering. For high input voltages its impact on  
efficiency is minor, reducing efficiency by 1.5 percent for  
a 5V output at full load operating from 24V.  
The small size, robustness and low impedance of ceramic  
capacitors make them an attractive option for the input  
bypasscapacitorofLT3693circuits.However,thesecapaci-  
tors can cause problems if the LT3693 is plugged into a  
live supply (see Linear Technology Application Note 88 for  
a complete discussion). The low loss ceramic capacitor,  
combined with stray inductance in series with the power  
source, forms an under damped tank circuit, and the  
voltage at the V pin of the LT3693 can ring to twice the  
IN  
nominal input voltage, possibly exceeding the LT3693’s  
rating and damaging the part. If the input supply is poorly  
controlled or the user will be plugging the LT3693 into an

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
High Temperature Considerations  
Power dissipation within the LT3693 can be estimated by  
calculatingthetotalpowerlossfromanefficiencymeasure-  
ment and subtracting the catch diode loss and inductor  
loss. The die temperature is calculated by multiplying the  
LT3693 power dissipation by the thermal resistance from  
junction to ambient.  
The PCB must provide heat sinking to keep the LT3693  
cool. The Exposed Pad on the bottom of the package must  
be soldered to a ground plane. This ground should be tied  
to large copper layers below with thermal vias; these lay-  
ers will spread the heat dissipated by the LT3693. Place  
additionalviascanreducethermalresistancefurther.With  
these steps, the thermal resistance from die (or junction)  
Other Linear Technology Publications  
Application Notes 19, 35 and 44 contain more detailed  
descriptions and design information for buck regulators  
and other switching regulators. The LT1376 data sheet  
has a more extensive discussion of output ripple, loop  
compensation and stability testing. Design Note 100  
shows how to generate a bipolar output supply using a  
buck regulator.  
to ambient can be reduced to  
= 35°C/W or less. With  
JA  
100LFPMairflow, thisresistancecanfallbyanother25%.  
Further increases in airflow will lead to lower thermal re-  
sistance. Because of the large output current capability of  
the LT3693, it is possible to dissipate enough heat to raise  
thejunctiontemperaturebeyondtheabsolutemaximumof  
125°C. Whenoperatingathighambienttemperatures, the  
maximum load current should be derated as the ambient  
temperature approaches 125°C.
