1A Fault Tolerant Micropower  
Step-Down Regulator  
FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
TheLT®3695isanadjustablefrequency(250kHzto2.2MHz)  
monolithicbuckswitchingregulatorthatacceptsinputvolt-  
ages up to 36V and can safely sustain transient voltages  
up to 60V. The device includes a high efficiency switch, a  
boostdiode,andthenecessaryoscillator,controlandlogic  
circuitry. Current mode topology is used for fast transient  
response and good loop stability. A SYNC pin allows the  
user to synchronize the part to an external clock, and to  
choose between low ripple Burst Mode operation and  
standard PWM operation.

Adjustable Switching Frequency: 250kHz to 2.2MHz  
Short-Circuit Protected  
Synchronizable Between 300kHz and 2.2MHz  
Output Voltage: 0.8V to 20V  
Low ripple Burst Mode operation maintains high effi-  
ciency at low output currents while keeping output ripple  
below 15mV in a typical application. 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 (soft-start). Protection circuitry senses the  
current in the power switch and external Schottky catch  
diode to protect the LT3695 against short-circuit condi-  
tions. Frequency foldback and thermal shutdown provide  
additional protection.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under absolute maximum ratings  
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute  
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect the device  
reliability and lifetime.  
Note 2: Positive currents flow into pins, negative currents flow out of pins.  
Minimum and maximum values refer to absolute values.  
Note 5: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to  
protect the devices during momentary overload conditions. Junction  
temperature will exceed the maximum operating junction temperature  
when overtemperature protection is active. Continuous operation above  
the specified maximum operating junction temperature may impair device  
reliability.  
Note 6: This is the voltage necessary to keep the internal bias circuitry in  
regulation.  
Note 3: Absolute maximum voltage at V and RUN/SS pins is 60V for  
nonrepetitive 1 second transients, and 36V for continuous operation.  
IN  
Note 7: Current limit guaranteed by design and/or correlation to static test.  
Slope compensation reduces current limit at higher duty cycles.  
Note 8: This is the minimum voltage across the boost capacitor needed to  
guarantee full saturation of the switch.  
Note 4: The LT3695E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications  
from 0°C to 125°C junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C  
to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design,  
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The  
LT3695I is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction  
temperature range. The LT3695H is guaranteed over the full –40°C to  
150°C operating junction temperature range.

PIN FUNCTIONS  
PGND (Pin 1): This is the power ground used by the catch  
diode (D1 in the Block Diagram) when its anode is con-  
nected to the DA pin.  
V
(Pin 8): The V pin supplies current to the internal  
IN IN  
regulator and to the internal power switch. This pin must  
be locally bypassed.  
DA (Pin 2): Connect the anode of the catch diode (D1)  
to this pin. Internal circuitry senses the current through  
the catch diode providing frequency foldback in extreme  
situations.  
V (Pin 9): The V pin is the output of the internal error  
C C  
amplifier. The voltage on this pin controls the peak switch  
current. Tie an RC network from this pin to ground to  
compensate the control loop.  
NC (Pins 3, 10, 12): No Connects. These pins are not  
connected to internal circuitry and must be left floating  
to ensure fault tolerance.  
FB (Pin 11): The LT3695 regulates the FB pin to 0.8V. Con-  
nect the feedback resistor divider tap to this pin.  
PG (Pin 13): The PG pin is the open-collector output of  
an internal comparator. PG remains low until the FB pin  
is within 10% of the final regulation voltage. PG output is  
SW (Pin 4): The SW pin is the output of the internal power  
switch. Connect this pin to the inductor, catch diode and  
boost capacitor.

inshutdownmode.TietogroundtoshutdowntheLT3695.  
Tie to 2.5V or more for normal operation. RUN/SS also  
provides a soft-start function; see the Applications Infor-  
mation section for more information.  
GND (Pin 14): The GND pin is the ground of all the internal  
circuitry. Tie directly to the local GND plane.  
BD (Pin 15): This pin connects to the anode of the boost  
Schottky diode and also supplies current to the LT3695’s  
internal regulator.  
RT (Pin 6): Oscillator Resistor Input. Connect a resistor  
from this pin to ground to set the switching frequency.  
BOOST (Pin 16): This pin is used to provide a drive volt-  
age, higher than the input voltage, to the internal bipolar  
NPN power switch. Connect a capacitor (typically 0.22μF)  
between BOOST and SW.  
SYNC (Pin 7): This is the external clock synchronization  
input. Ground this pin with a 100k resistor for low ripple  
Burst Mode operation at low output loads. Tie to 0.8V or  
more for pulse-skipping mode operation. Tie to a clock  
source for synchronization. Clock edges should have rise  
and fall times faster than 1μs. Note that the maximum  
load current depends on which mode is chosen. See the  
Applications Information section for more information.  
Exposed Pad (Pin 17): PGND. This is the power ground  
used by the catch diode (D1) when its anode is connected  
to the DA pin. The Exposed Pad may be soldered to the  
PCB in order to lower the thermal resistance.

input voltage. Conversely, a lower switching frequency  
will be necessary to achieve optimum operation at high  
input voltages.  
Input Voltage Range  
Special attention must be paid when the output is in start-

events, the inductor peak current might easily reach and  
even exceed the maximum current limit of the LT3695,

therefore the maximum current limit of the LT3695 plus  
the additional current overshoot during the turn off delay  
due to minimum on time:  
The minimum input voltage is determined by either the  
LT3695’s minimum operating voltage of ~3.6V (V > 3V)

Inductor Selection and Maximum Output Current  
A good first choice for the inductor value is:

Theinductor’sRMScurrentratingmustbegreaterthanthe  
maximumloadcurrentanditssaturationcurrentshouldbe  
about 30% higher. To keep the efficiency high, the series  
resistance (DCR) should be less than 0.1Ω, and the core  
materialshouldbeintendedforhighfrequencyapplications.  
Table 2 lists several vendors and suitable types.  
When the switch is off, the potential across the inductor  
is the output voltage plus the catch diode drop. This gives  
the peak-to-peak ripple current in the inductor:  
For robust operation in fault conditions (start-up or short-  
circuit) and high input voltage (>30V), the saturation  
current should be chosen high enough to ensure that the  
inductor peak current does not exceed 3.5A. For example,  
an application running from an input voltage of 36V  
using a 10μH inductor with a saturation current of 2.5A  
will tolerate the mentioned fault conditions.

To maintain output regulation, the inductor peak current

LIM  
The optimum inductor for a given application may differ  
fromtheoneindicatedbythissimpledesignguide.Alarger  
value inductor provides a higher maximum load current  
and reduces the output voltage ripple. If your load is lower  
than the maximum load current, then you can relax the  
value of the inductor and operate with higher ripple cur-  
rent. This allows you to use a physically smaller inductor,  
or one with a lower DCR resulting in higher efficiency.  
Be aware that if the inductance differs from the simple  
rule above, then the maximum load current will depend  
on input voltage. In addition, low inductance may result  
in discontinuous mode operation, which further reduces  
maximum load current. For details of maximum output  
current and discontinuous mode operation, see Linear  
Technology’s Application Note 44. Finally, for duty cycles

A 2.2μF capacitor is capable of this task, but only if it is  
placed close to the LT3695 (see the PCB Layout section

the ceramic input capacitor concerns the maximum input

One approach to choosing the inductor is to start with the  
simple rule given above, look at the available inductors,  
and choose one to meet cost or space goals. Then use  
these equations to check that the LT3695 will be able to  
deliver the required output current. Note again that these

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 0.05Ω 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 3 lists several capacitor  
vendors.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
Audible Noise  
Loop compensation determines the stability and transient  
performance. Optimizing the design of the compensation  
network depends on the application and type of output  
capacitor. A practical approach is to start with one of the  
circuits in this data sheet that is similar to your applica-  
tion and tune the compensation network to optimize the  
performance. Stability should then be checked across all  
operatingconditions, includingloadcurrent, inputvoltage  
and temperature. The LT1375 data sheet contains a more  
thorough discussion of loop compensation and describes  
how to test the stability using a transient load. Figure 1  
shows an equivalent circuit for the LT3695 control loop.  
The error amplifier 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-  
Ceramic capacitors are small, robust and have very  
low ESR. However, ceramic capacitors can sometimes  
cause problems when used with the LT3695 due to their  
piezoelectric nature. When in Burst Mode operation, the  
LT3695’sswitchingfrequencydependsontheloadcurrent,  
and at very light loads the LT3695 can excite the ceramic  
capacitor at audio frequencies, generating audible noise.  
Since the LT3695 operates at a lower current limit during  
Burst Mode operation, the noise is typically very quiet. If  
this is unacceptable, use a high performance tantalum or  
electrolytic capacitor at the output.  
Frequency Compensation  
The LT3695 uses current mode control to regulate the  
output.Thissimplifiesloopcompensation.Inparticular,the  
LT3695 does not require the ESR of the output capacitor  
for stability, so you are free to use ceramic capacitors to  
achieve low output ripple and small circuit size. Frequency  
compensation is provided by the components tied to the  
rent proportional to the voltage at the V pin. Note that  
C
the output capacitor integrates this current, and that the  
capacitor on the V pin (C ) integrates the error ampli-

LT3695  
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
Low Ripple Burst Mode Operation  
at output loads higher than about 100mA. With the SYNC  
pin tied high, the front page application circuit will switch  
at full frequency at output loads higher than about 30mA.  
The maximum load current that the LT3695 can supply is  
reduced when SYNC is high.  
The LT3695 is capable of operating in either low ripple  
Burst Mode operation or pulse-skipping mode which are  
selected using the SYNC pin. See the Synchronization  
section for more information.  
To enhance efficiency at light loads, the LT3695 can be  
operated in low ripple Burst Mode operation which keeps  
the output capacitor charged to the proper voltage while  
minimizing the input quiescent current. During Burst  
Modeoperation, theLT3695deliverssinglecycleburstsof  
current to the output capacitor followed by sleep periods  
where the output power is delivered to the load by the  
outputcapacitor.BecausetheLT3695deliverspowertothe  
output with single, low current pulses, the output ripple  
is kept below 15mV for a typical application. In addition,  
BOOST Pin Considerations  
CapacitorC3andtheinternalboostSchottkydiode(seethe  
Block Diagram) are used to generate a boost voltage that  
is higher than the input voltage. In most cases a 0.22μF  
capacitor will work well. Figure 4 shows three ways to  
arrange the boost circuit for the LT3695. The BOOST pin  
must be more than 2.3V above the SW pin for best ef-  
ficiency. For outputs of between 3V and 8V, the standard  
circuit (Figure 4a) is best. For outputs between 2.8V and  
3V, use a 1μF boost capacitor. A 2.5V output presents a  
special case because it is marginally adequate to support  
the boosted drive stage while using the internal boost  
diode. For reliable BOOST pin operation with 2.5V outputs  
use a good external Schottky diode (such as the ON Semi  
MBR0540), and a 1μF boost capacitor (see Figure 4b).  
For lower output voltages the boost diode can be tied to  
the input (Figure 4c), or to another supply greater than  
2.8V. Keep in mind that a minimum input voltage of 4.3V  
is required if the voltage at the BD pin is smaller than 3V.  
V
and BD quiescent currents are reduced to typically  
IN  
35μA and 55μA respectively during the sleep time. As the  
load current decreases towards a no-load condition, the  
percentageoftimethattheLT3695operatesinsleepmode  
increases and the average input current is greatly reduced  
resulting in high efficiency even at very low loads. (See  
Figure 3). At higher output loads (above about 70mA for  
the front page application) the LT3695 will be running at  
the frequency programmed by the R resistor, and will be  
T
operating in standard PWM mode. The transition between  
PWM and low ripple Burst Mode operation is seamless,  
and will not disturb the output voltage.  
Tying BD to V reduces the maximum input voltage to  
IN  
25V. The circuit in Figure 4a is more efficient because the  
BOOST pin current and BD pin quiescent current come  
from a lower voltage source. You must also be sure that  
the maximum voltage ratings of the BOOST and BD pins  
are not exceeded.  
If low quiescent current is not required, tie SYNC high to  
select pulse-skipping mode. The benefit of this mode is  
that the LT3695 will enter full frequency standard PWM  
operation at a lower output load current than when in  
Burst Mode operation. With the SYNC pin tied low, the  
front page application circuit will switch at full frequency  
As mentioned, a minimum of 2.5V across the BOOST  
capacitor is required for proper operation of the internal  
BOOST circuitry to provide the base current for the power  
NPNswitch.ForBDpinvoltageshigherthan3V,theexcess  
voltage across the BOOST capacitor does not bring an  
increaseinperformancebutdissipatesadditionalpowerin  
the internal BOOST circuitry instead. The BOOST circuitry  
toleratesreasonableamountsofpower,howeverexcessive

reliable operation, use no more than 8V on the BD pin for  
the circuit in Figure 4a. For higher output voltages, make  
sure that there is no more than 8V at the BD pin either by

The minimum operating voltage of the LT3695 applica-  
tion is limited by the minimum input voltage and by the  
maximum duty cycle as outlined previously. For proper  
start-up, the minimum input voltage is also limited by the  
boost circuit. If the input voltage is ramped slowly, or the  
LT3695 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

T
The RUN/SS pin can be used to soft-start the LT3695,  
reducing the maximum input current during start-up. The  
RUN/SS pin is driven through an external RC network to  
create a voltage ramp at this pin. Figure 6 shows the start-  
up and shutdown waveforms with the soft-start circuit.  
By choosing a large RC time constant, the peak start-up  
current can be reduced to the current that is required  
to regulate the output, with no overshoot. Choose the  
value of the resistor so that it can supply 7.5μA when the

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
High Temperature Considerations  
Power dissipation within the LT3695 can be estimated  
by calculating the total power loss from an efficiency  
measurement. The die temperature rise is calculated by  
multiplying the power dissipation of the LT3695 by the  
thermalresistancefromjunctiontoambient. Dietempera-  
ture rise was measured on a 2-layer, 10cm × 10cm circuit  
The PCB must provide heat sinking to keep the LT3695  
cool. The Exposed Pad on the bottom of the package  
may be soldered to a copper area which should be tied  
to large copper layers below with thermal vias; these lay-  
ers will spread the heat dissipated by the LT3695. Place  
additional vias to reduce thermal resistance further. With  
these steps, the thermal resistance from die (or junction)  
board in still air at a load current of 1A (f = 800kHz).  
SW  
For a 12V input to 5V output the die temperature elevation  
above ambient was 22°C with the exposed pad soldered  
and 44°C without the exposed pad soldered.  
to ambient can be reduced to θ = 40°C/W or less. With  
JA  
100 LFPM airflow, this resistance can fall by another 25%.  
Further increases in airflow will lead to lower thermal  
resistance. Because of the large output current capability  
of the LT3695, it is possible to dissipate enough heat to  
raise the junction temperature beyond the absolute maxi-  
mum. When operating at high ambient temperatures, the  
maximum load current should be derated as the ambient  
temperature approaches these maximums. If the junction  
temperature reaches the thermal shutdown threshold, the  
part will stop switching to prevent internal damage due  
to overheating.  
Fault Tolerance  
The LT3695 is designed to tolerate single fault conditions.  
Shorting two adjacent pins together or leaving one single  
pin floating does not raise V  
or cause damage to the  
OUT  
LT3695. However, the application circuit must meet the  
requirements discussed in this section in order to achieve  
this tolerance level.

adjacent pins or from a floating pin, respectively.
