DescripTion  
The LT®3741 and LT3741-1 are fixed frequency synchro-  
nous step-down DC/DC controllers designed to accurately  
regulatetheoutputcurrentatupto20A.Theaveragecurrent-

over a wide output voltage range of 0V to (V – 2V). The  
IN  
n
regulated current is set by an analog voltage on the CTRL  
pins and an external sense resistor. Due to its unique  
topology, the LT3741 is capable of sourcing and sinking  
current. If sinking current is not required, or for parallel  
applications, use the LT3741-1. The regulated voltage and  
overvoltage protection are set with a voltage divider from  
the output to the FB pin. Soft-Start is provided to allow a  
gradual increase in the regulated current during startup.  
The switching frequency is programmable from 200kHz to  
1MHzthroughanexternalresistorontheRTpinorthrough  
the use of the SYNC pin and an external clock signal.

pin FuncTions (QFN/TSSOP)  
EN/UVLO (Pin 1/Pin 4): Enable Pin. The EN/UVLO pin  
acts as an enable pin and turns on the internal current  
bias core and subregulators at 1.55V. The pin does  
not have any pull-up or pull-down, requiring a voltage  
bias for normal part operation. Full shutdown occurs at  
approximately 0.5V.  
VC (Pin 10/Pin 13): VC provides the necessary comp-  
ensation for the average current loop stability. Typical  
compensation values are 20k to 50k for the resistor and  
2nF to 5nF for the capacitor.  
RT(Pin12/Pin14):Aresistortogroundsetstheswitching  
frequency between 200kHz and 1MHz. When using the  
SYNC function, set the frequency to be 20% lower than  
the SYNC pulse frequency. This pin is current limited to  
60µA. Do not leave this pin open.

GND (Pins 4,11,14, Exposed Pad Pin 21/Pins 2,7,1±,  
Exposed Pad Pin 21): Ground. The exposed pad must be  
soldered to the PCB  
to an external clock. The R resistor should be chosen to  
T
operate the internal clock at 20% slower than the SYNC  
pulse frequency. This pin should be grounded when not  
in use. When laying out board, avoid noise coupling to  
or from SYNC trace.

SS (Pin ±/Pin 9): The Soft-Start Pin. Place an external  
capacitor to ground to limit the regulated current during  
start-up conditions. The soft-start pin has a 11µA charg-  
ing current. This pin controls regulated output current  
determined by CTRL1.  
SW (Pin 1±/Pin 18): The SW pin is used internally as the  
lower-rail for the floating high-side driver. Externally, this  
node connects the two power-FETs and the inductor.  
CBOOT (Pin 17/Pin 19): The CBOOT pin provides a float-  
ing 5V regulated supply for the high-side FET driver. An  
FB (Pin 7/Pin 10): Feedback Pin for Voltage Regulation  
andOvervoltageProtection.Thefeedbackvoltageis1.21V.  
Overvoltage is also sensed through the FB pin. When the  
feedback voltage exceeds 1.5V, the overvoltage lockout  
prevents switching for 13μs to allow the inductor current  
to discharge.

operaTion  
TheLT3741utilizesxed-frequency,averagecurrentmode  
control to accurately regulate the inductor current, inde-  
pendently from the output voltage. This is an ideal solu-  
tion for applications requiring a regulated current source.  
The control loop will regulate the current in the inductor  
at an accuracy of 6%. Once the output has reached the  
regulation voltage determined by the resistor divider from  
the output to the FB pin and ground, the inductor current  
will be reduced by the voltage regulation loop. In voltage  
regulation, the output voltage has an accuracy of 1.5%.  
For additional operation information, refer to the Block  
Diagram in Figure 1.  
is limited on a cycle-by-cycle basis; shutting switching  
down once the overcurrent level is reached. Overcurrent  
is not soft-started.  
The regulated output voltage is set with a resistor divider  
from the output back to the FB pin. The reference at the  
FB pin is 1.21V. If the output voltage level is high enough  
to engage the voltage loop, the regulated inductor current  
will be reduced to support the load at the output. If the  
voltage at the FB pin reaches 1.5V (~25% higher than  
the regulation level), an internal overvoltage flag is set,  
shutting down switching for 13μs.  
The EN/UVLO pin functions as a precision shutdown  
pin. When the voltage at the EN/UVLO pin is lower than  
1.55V, the internal reset flag is asserted and switching is  
terminated. Full shutdown occurs at approximately 0.5V  
with a quiescent current of less than 1μA in full shutdown.  
The EN/UVLO pin has 130mV of built-in hysteresis. In  
addition, a 5.5µA current source is connected to this pin  
that allows any amount of hysteresis to be added with a  
The current control loop has two reference inputs, deter-  
minedbythevoltageattheanalogcontrolpins,CTRL1and  
CTRL2. The lower of the two analog voltages on CTRL1  
and CTRL2 determines the regulated output current. The  
analog voltage at the CTRL1 pin is buffered and produces  
areferencevoltageacrossaninternalresistor. Theinternal  
buffer has a 1.5V clamp on the output, limiting the analog  
control range of the CTRL1 and CTRL2 pins from 0V to  
1.5V – corresponding to a 0mV to 51mV range on the  
series resistor or resistor divider from V .  
IN  
During startup, the SS pin is held low until the internal  
reset goes low. Once reset goes low, the capacitor at the  
soft-start pin is charged with an 11μA current source.  
The internal buffers for the CTRL1 and CTRL2 signals are  
limited by the voltage at the soft-start pin, slowly ramping  
the regulated inductor current to the current determined  
by the voltage at the CTRL1 or CTRL2 pins.

Voltage Regulation and Overvoltage Protection  
FB  
The LT3741 uses the FB pin to regulate the output voltage  
and to provide a high speed overvoltage lockout to avoid  
high voltage conditions. The regulated output voltage  
is programmed using a resistor divider from the output  
and ground (Figure 7). When the output voltage exceeds  
125% of the regulated voltage level (1.5V at the FB pin),  
the internal overvoltage flag is set, terminating switching.  
The regulated output voltage must be greater than 1.5V  
and is set by the equation:

Switching Frequency Synchronization  
Figure 9. UVLO Configuration  
The nominal switching frequency of the LT3741 is  
determined by the resistor from the RT pin to ground and  
may be set from 200kHz to 1MHz. The internal oscillator  
may also be synchronized to an external clock through the  
SYNCpin. TheexternalclockappliedtotheSYNCpinmust  
have a logic low below 0.3V and a logic high higher than  
1.25V. The input frequency must be 20% higher than the  
frequency determined by the resistor at the RT pin. Input  
signals outside of these specified parameters will cause  
erratic switching behavior and subharmonic oscillations.  
The EN/UVLO pin has an absolute maximum voltage of  
6V. To accommodate the largest range of applications,  
there is an internal Zener diode that clamps this pin. For  
applications where the supply range is greater than 4:1,  
size R2 greater than 375k.  
Load Current Derating Using the CTRL2 Pin  
The LT3741 is designed specifically for driving high power  
loads. In high current applications, derating the maximum  
current based on operating temperature prevents damage  
to the load. In addition, many applications have thermal  
limitations that will require the regulated current to be re-  
ducedbasedonloadand/orboardtemperature.Toachieve  
this, theLT3741usestheCTRL2pintoreducetheeffective  
regulated current in the load. While CTRL1 programs the  
regulated current in the load, CTRL2 can be configured to  
reduce this regulated current based on the analog voltage  
at the CTRL2 pin. The load/board temperature derating is  
programmed using a resistor divider with a temperature  
dependant resistance (Figure 10). When the board/load  
temperature rises, the CTRL2 voltage will decrease. To  
reduce the regulated current, the CTRL2 voltage must be  
lower than voltage at the CTRL1 pin.

Operationunderotherconditionsisguaranteedbydesign.  
When synchronizing to an external clock, please be aware  
that there will be a fixed delay from the input clock edge to  
the edge of switch. The SYNC pin must be grounded if the  
synchronization to an external clock is not required. When  
SYNC is grounded, the switching frequency is determined  
by the resistor at the RT pin.

To design the compensation network, the maximum com-  
pensation resistor needstobe calculated. In current mode  
controllers, the ratio of the sensed inductor current ramp  
to the slope compensation ramp determines the stability  
of the current regulation loop above 50% duty cycle. In  
the same way, average current mode controllers require  
the slope of the error voltage to not exceed the PWM ramp  
slope during the switch off-time.

10Ω resistor in series with the SENSE and SENSE pins  
with a 33nF capacitor placed between the SENSE pins is  
recommended. Utilizing a good ground plane underneath  
the switching components will minimize interplane noise  
coupling. To dissipate the heat from the switching com-  
ponents, use a large area for the switching mode while  
keeping in mind that this negatively affects the radiated  
noise.

produces the error signal slope, the output impedance of
