LT3695 Series  
1A Fault Tolerant Micropower  
Step-Down Regulator  
FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
The LT®3695 series are adjustable frequency (250kHz to  
2.2MHz)monolithicbuckswitchingregulatorsthataccept  
input voltages up to 36V and can safely sustain transient  
voltages up to 60V. The devices include a high efficiency  
switch, aboostdiode, andthenecessaryoscillator, control  
and logic circuitry. Current mode topology is used for fast  
transient response and good loop stability. A SYNC pin  
allowstheusertosynchronizetheparttoanexternalclock,  
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  
diodetoprotecttheLT3695regulatorsagainstshort-circuit  
conditions. 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: These ICs include 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 regulators are 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 regulators are guaranteed over the full –40°C to  
125°C operating junction temperature range. The LT3695H regulators are  
guaranteed over the full –40°C to 150°C operating junction temperature  
range.

PIN FUNCTIONS  
PGND (Pin 1, Exposed Pad Pin 17/Pin 1, Exposed Pad  
Pin 17): This is the power ground used by the catch diode  
(D1 in the Block Diagram) 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.  
V
(Pin 8/Pin 8): The V pin supplies current to the  
IN IN  
internal regulator and to the internal power switch. This  
pin must be locally bypassed.  
V (Pin 9/Pin 9): The V pin is the output of the internal  
C
C
error 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.  
DA (Pin 2/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.  
FB(Pin11)LT3695:TheLT3695regulatestheFBpinto0.8V.  
Connect the feedback resistor divider tap to this pin.  
NC (Pins 3, 10, 12/Pins 3, 10, 15): No Connects. These  
pins are not connected to internal circuitry and must be  
left floating to ensure fault tolerance.  
PG(Pin13/Pin11):ThePGpinistheopen-collectoroutput  
of an internal comparator. PG remains low until the FB pin  
(LT3695) or the OUT1,2 pins (LT3695-3.3, LT3695-5) are  
within 10% of the final regulation voltage. PG output is  
SW (Pin 4/Pin 4): The SW pin is the output of the internal  
powerswitch. Connectthispintotheinductor, catchdiode  
and boost capacitor.  
valid when V is above the minimum input voltage and  
IN  
RUN/SS is high.  
RUN/SS (Pin 5/Pin 5): The RUN/SS pin is used to put  
the LT3695 regulators in shutdown mode. Tie to ground  
to shut down the LT3695 regulators. Tie to 2.5V or more  
for normal operation. RUN/SS also provides a soft-start  
function; see the Applications Information section for  
more information.  
GND (Pin 14/Pin 12): The GND pin is the ground of all the  
internal circuitry. Tie directly to the local GND plane.  
OUT1, OUT2, (Pins14, 13)LT3695-3.3, LT3695-5:These  
pins connect to the anode of the boost Schottky diode and  
also supply current to the internal regulator. They also  
connect to the internal feedback resistors and must be  
connected to the output.  
RT (Pin 6/Pin 6): Oscillator Resistor Input. Connect a  
resistor from this pin to ground to set the switching  
frequency.  
BD (Pin 15) LT3695: This pin connects to the anode of  
the boost Schottky diode and also supplies current to the  
LT3695’s internal regulator.  
SYNC (Pin 7/Pin 7): This is the external clock synchroni-  
zation 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  
clocksourceforsynchronization.Clockedgesshouldhave  
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.  
BOOST (Pin 16/Pin 16): This pin is used to provide a  
drive voltage, higher than the input voltage, to the internal  
bipolar NPN power switch. Connect a capacitor (typically  
0.22μF) between BOOST and SW.

To further optimize efficiency, the LT3695 regulators au-

Internal circuitry monitors the current flowing through the  
catch diode via the DA pin and delays the generation of

rent through the inductor under control.

less current is delivered. An active clamp on the V pin

provides current limit. The V pin is also clamped to the

voltage on the RUN/SS pin; soft-start is implemented by  
generating a voltage ramp at the RUN/SS pin using an  
external resistor and capacitor.  
The LT3695 regulators contain a power good comparator  
which trips when the FB pin (LT3695) or the OUT1,2 pins  
(LT3695-3.3, LT3695-5) are at 90% of their regulated  
value. The PG output is an open-collector transistor that  
is off when the output is in regulation, allowing an external  
resistor to pull the PG pin high. Power good is valid when

A good choice of switching frequency should allow an

input voltage. Conversely, a lower switching frequency  
will be necessary to achieve optimum operation at high  
input voltages.  
Special attention must be paid when the output is in  
start-up, short-circuit or other overload conditions. Dur-  
ing these events, the inductor peak current might easily  
reach and even exceed the maximum current limit of  
the LT3695 regulators, especially in those cases where  
the switch already operates at minimum on-time. The  
circuitry monitoring the current through the catch diode  
via the DA pin prevents the switch from turning on again  
if the inductor valley current is above 1.6A nominal. In  
these cases, the inductor peak current is therefore the  
maximum current limit of the LT3695 regulators plus the  
additional current overshoot during the turn off delay due  
to minimum on time:  
Input Voltage Range  
The minimum input voltage is determined by either the  
LT3695 regulators’ minimum operating voltage of ~3.6V  
(V > 3V) or by their maximum duty cycle (see equation  
BD  
inOperatingFrequencyTrade-Offssection). Theminimum  
input voltage due to duty cycle is:

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

from overload faults. Therefore, the maximum output  
current that the LT3695 regulators will deliver depends on  
the switch current limit, the inductor value and the input  
and output voltages.  
is the inductor value in μH.  
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.

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

it is placed close to the LT3695 regulators (see the PCB  
Layout section for more information). A second precau-  
tion regarding the ceramic input capacitor concerns the  
maximum input voltage rating of the LT3695 regulators.  
A ceramic input capacitor combined with trace or cable  
inductance forms a high-Q (underdamped) tank circuit.  
If the LT3695 regulators circuit is plugged into a live sup-  
ply, the input voltage can ring to twice its nominal value,  
possibly exceeding the LT3695 regulators’ voltage rating.

The output capacitor has two essential functions. Along  
with the inductor, it filters the square wave generated by  
the LT3695 regulators to produce the DC output. In this  
role it determines the output ripple, and low impedance  
at the switching frequency is important. The second func-  
tion is to store energy in order to satisfy transient loads  
and stabilize the LT3695 regulators’ control loop. Ceramic  
capacitors have very low equivalent series resistance  
(ESR) and provide the best ripple performance. A good  
starting value is:  
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 regulators will  
be able to deliver the required output current. Note again  
that these equations assume that the inductor current is  
continuous. Discontinuous operation occurs when I  
is less than ΔI /2.

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 regulators  
control loop. The error amplifier is a transconductance  
amplifierwithniteoutputimpedance. Thepowersection,  
consisting of the modulator, power switch and inductor, is

Ceramic capacitors are small, robust and have very low  
ESR. However, ceramic capacitors can sometimes cause  
problems when used with the LT3695 regulators due to  
their piezoelectric nature. When in Burst Mode operation,

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 regulators use current mode control to  
regulate the output. This simplifies loop compensation.  
In particular, the LT3695 regulators do 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  
output current proportional to the voltage at the V pin.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
Low Ripple Burst Mode Operation  
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  
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 regulators can  
supply is reduced when SYNC is high.  
The LT3695 regulators are capable of operating in either  
low ripple Burst Mode operation or pulse-skipping mode  
which are selected using the SYNC pin. See the Synchro-  
nization section for more information.  
To enhance efficiency at light loads, the LT3695 regulators  
can be operated in low ripple Burst Mode operation which  
keeps the output capacitor charged to the proper voltage  
whileminimizingtheinputquiescentcurrent.DuringBurst  
Mode operation, the LT3695 regulators deliver single  
cycle bursts of current to the output capacitor followed by  
sleep periods where the output power is delivered to the  
load by the output capacitor. Because the LT3695 regula-  
tors deliver power to the output with single, low current  
pulses, the output ripple is kept below 15mV for a typical  
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 regulators. The  
BOOST pin must be more than 2.3V above the SW pin  
for best efficiency. 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  
ONSemiMBR0540),anda1μFboostcapacitor(seeFigure  
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.

IN  
(LT3695-3.3, LT3695-5) quiescent currents are reduced  
to typically 35μA, 55μA and 65μA, respectively, during  
the sleep time. As the load current decreases towards a  
no-load condition, the percentage of time that the LT3695

even at very low loads (see Figure 3). At higher output  
loads (above about 70mA for the front page application)  
the LT3695 regulators will be running at the frequency  
programmed by the R resistor, and will be operating in  
T
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  
thattheLT3695regulatorswillenterfullfrequencystandard

current is continuous and the duty cycle is limited by the  
maximum duty cycle of the LT3695 regulators, requiring  
a higher input voltage to maintain regulation.

The RUN/SS pin can be used to soft-start the LT3695  
regulators, 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.

necessary to choose a large enough inductor value to

by the R resistor. See the Inductor Selection section for

Shorted and Reversed Input Protection  
If the inductor is chosen so that it will not saturate exces-  
sively,theLT3695regulatorswilltolerateashortedoutput.  
When operating in short-circuit condition, the LT3695  
regulators will reduce their frequency until the valley cur-  
rent is at a typical value of 1.6A (see Figure 7). There is  
another situation to consider in systems where the output  
willbeheldhighwhentheinputtotheLT3695regulatorsis  
absent. This may occur in battery charging applications or  
in battery backup systems where a battery or some other  
supply is diode ORed with the LT3695 regulators’ output.  
Synchronization  
To select low ripple Burst Mode operation, tie the SYNC  
pin below 0.3V (this can be ground or a logic output).  
Synchronizing the oscillator of the LT3695 regulators to  
an external frequency can be done by connecting a square  
wave (with 20% to 80% duty cycle) to the SYNC pin. The  
square wave amplitude should have valleys that are below  
0.3V and peaks that are above 0.8V (up to 6V).

JA  
or less. With 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 regulators, it is possible  
to dissipate enough heat to raise the junction temperature  
beyond the absolute maximum. 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 ther-  
mal shutdown threshold, the parts will stop switching to  
prevent internal damage due to overheating.  
Tables 5 and 6 show the effects that result from shorting  
adjacent pins or from a floating pin, respectively.  
For the best fault tolerance to inadvertent adjacent pin  
shorts, the RUN/SS pin must not be directly connected to  
either ground or V . If there was a short between RUN/SS  
IN  
and SW then connecting RUN/SS to V would tie SW  
IN  
to V and would thus raise V . Likewise, grounding

RUN/SS would tie SW to ground and would damage the
