down on PGOOD asserts when INTV is greater than
IN
CC
a DC converter output. This pin must be bypassed with
2.7V and the FBX voltage is within 5% (80mV if V
1.6V or 40mV if V = –0.8V) of the regulation voltage.

this pin to V if not used.
IN
RT: SwitchingFrequencyAdjustmentPin.Setthefrequency
using a resistor to GND. Do not leave the RT pin open.
EN/UVLO: Shutdown and Undervoltage Detect Pin. An
accurate 1.22V (nominal) falling threshold with externally
programmable hysteresis detects when power is okay to
enable switching. Rising hysteresis is generated by the
external resistor divider and an accurate internal 2.2μA
pull-down current. An undervoltage condition resets soft-
start. Tie to 0.4V, or less, to disable the device and reduce
SENSE: The Current Sense Input for the Control Loop.
Kelvin connect this pin to the positive terminal of the
switch current sense resistor in the source of the N-FET.
The negative terminal of the current sense resistor should
be connected to GND plane close to the IC.
SS: Soft-Start Pin. This pin modulates compensation pin
voltage (VC) clamp. The soft-start interval is set with an
external capacitor. The pin has a 10µA (typical) pull-up
current source to an internal 2.5V rail. The soft-start pin
is reset to GND by an EN/UVLO undervoltage condition,
V quiescent current below 1μA.
IN
FBX: Voltage Regulation Feedback Pin for Positive or
Negative Outputs. Connect this pin to a resistor divider
between the output and GND. FBX is the input of two error
amplifiers—one configured to regulate a positive output;
the other, a negative output. Depending upon topology
selected, switching causes the output to ramp positive or
negative. The appropriate amplifier takes control while the
other becomes inactive. Additionally FBX is input for two
window comparators that indicate through the PGOOD
pin when the output is within 5% of the regulation volt-
ages. FBX also modulates the switching frequency during
start-up and fault conditions when FBX is close to GND.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Main Control Loop
An overvoltage comparator A11 (with 40mV hysteresis)
senses when the FBX pin voltage exceeds the positive
regulated voltage (1.6V) by 7.5% and turns off M1.
Similarly, an overvoltage comparator A12 (with 20mV
hysteresis) senses when the FBX pin voltage exceeds the
negative regulated voltage (–0.8V) by 7.5% and turns
off M1. Both reset pulses are sent to the main RS latch
(SR1) through G6 and G5. The external power MOSFET
switch M1 is actively held off for the duration of an output
overvoltage condition.
The LT3759 uses a fixed frequency, current mode control
scheme to provide excellent line and load regulation.
OperationcanbebestunderstoodbyreferringtotheBlock

slope compensation ramp and the resulting sum (SLOPE)
isfedintothepositiveterminalofthePWMcomparatorA7.
When SLOPE exceeds the level at the negative input of A7
(VC pin), SR1 is reset, turning off the power switch. The
level at the negative input of A7 is set by the error amplifier
A1 (or A2) and is an amplified version of the difference
between the feedback voltage (FBX pin) and the reference
voltage (1.6V or –0.8V, depending on the configuration).
In this manner, the error amplifier sets the correct peak
switch current level to keep the output in regulation.
The EN/UVLO pin controls whether the LT3759 is enabled
or is in shutdown state. A micropower 1.22V reference, a
comparator A10 and controllable current source I allow

Duty Cycle Consideration
Switching duty cycle is a key variable defining converter

on-time is the smallest time duration that the LT3759 is
capable of turning on the power MOSFET. This time is
generally about 170ns (typical) (see Minimum On-Time
in the Electrical Characteristics table). In each switching
cycle, the LT3759 keeps the power switch off for at least
170ns (typical) (see Minimum Off-Time in the Electrical
Characteristics table).
LT3759 addresses this mechanism with the SS pin. As
shown in Figure 1, the SS pin reduces the power MOSFET
current by pulling down the VC pin through Q2. In this
waytheSSallowstheoutputcapacitortochargegradually
toward its final value while limiting the start-up peak

Loop compensation determines the stability and transient
performance. The LT3759 uses current mode control to
regulate the output which simplifies loop compensation.
Theoptimumvaluesdependontheconvertertopology,the
componentvaluesandtheoperatingconditions(including
the input voltage, load current, etc.). To compensate the
feedback loop of the LT3759, a series resistor-capacitor
network is usually connected from the VC pin to GND.
Figure 1 shows the typical VC compensation network. For
most applications, the capacitor should be in the range of
470pF to 22nF, and the resistor should be in the range of
5k to 50k. A small capacitor is often connected in paral-
lel with the RC compensation network to attenuate the
VC voltage ripple induced from the output voltage ripple
through the internal error amplifier. The parallel capacitor
usually ranges in value from 10pF to 100pF. A practical
approach to design the compensation network is to start
with one of the circuits in this data sheet that is similar
to your application, and tune the compensation network
to optimize the performance. Stability should then be
checked across all operating conditions, including load
current, input voltage and temperature.

pin will be discharged by Q3. When all faults are cleared
and the SS pin has been discharged below 0.2V, a 10µA
current source I starts charging the SS pin, initiating a

within the current limit range, since the inductor current

a sufficiently low duty cycle at the programmed switch-
ing frequency. So, the switch current will keep increasing
through each switch cycle, exceeding the programmed
current limit. To prevent the switch peak currents from
exceeding the programmed value, the LT3759 contains
a frequency foldback function to reduce the switching
frequency when the FBX voltage is low (see the Normal-

APPLICATION CIRCUITS
The LT3759 can be configured as different topologies.
The design procedure for component selection differs
somewhat between these topologies. The first topology
to be analyzed will be the boost converter, followed by the
flyback SEPIC and inverting converters.
Boost Converter: Switch Duty Cycle and Frequency
The LT3759 can be configured as a boost converter for
the applications where the converter output voltage is
higher than the input voltage. Remember that boost con-
verters are not short-circuit protected. Under a shorted
output condition, the inductor current is limited only by
the input supply capability. For applications requiring a
step-up converter that is short-circuit protected, please

have high output/input voltage conversion ratios with a

The flyback converter can be designed to operate either
in continuous or discontinuous mode. Compared to con-
tinuous mode, discontinuous mode has the advantage of
smaller transformer inductances and easy loop compen-
sation, and the disadvantage of higher peak-to-average
current and lower efficiency. In the high output voltage
applications, the flyback converters can be designed
to operate in discontinuous mode to avoid using large
transformers.

The input capacitor of a boost converter is less critical
than the output capacitor, due to the fact that the inductor
is in series with the input, and the input current wave-
form is continuous. The input voltage source impedance
determines the size of the input capacitor, which is typi-
cally in the range of 10µF to 100µF. A low ESR capacitor
is recommended, although it is not as critical as for the
output capacitor.

Flyback Converter: Switch Duty Cycle and Turns Ratio
Accordingtotheprecedingequations,theuserhasrelative
freedom in selecting the switch duty cycle or turns ratio to
suit a given application. The selections of the duty cycle
and the turns ratio are somewhat iterative processes, due
to the number of variables involved. The user can choose
either a duty cycle or a turns ratio as the start point. The
following trade-offs should be considered when select-
ing the switch duty cycle or turns ratio, to optimize the
converter performance. A higher duty cycle affects the
flyback converter in the following aspects:

Flyback Converter: Input Capacitor Selection
The input capacitor in a flyback converter is subject to
a large RMS current due to the discontinuous primary
current. To prevent large voltage transients, use a low
ESR input capacitor sized for the maximum RMS current.
The RMS ripple current rating of the input capacitors in
discontinuous operation can be determined using the
following equation:
As shown in Figure 1, the SEPIC converter contains two
inductors:L1andL2.L1andL2canbeindependent,butcan
also be wound on the same core, since identical voltages
are applied to L1 and L2 throughout the switching cycle.
For the SEPIC topology, the current through L1 is the
converter input current. Based on the fact that, ideally, the
output power is equal to the input power, the maximum
average inductor currents of L1 and L2 are:

The inverting converter requires much smaller output
capacitors than those of the boost and SEPIC converters
for similar output ripples. This is due to the fact that, in
the inverting converter, the inductor L2 is in series with the
output, and the ripple current flowing through the output
capacitors are continuous. The output ripple voltage is
produced by the ripple current of L2 flowing through the
ESR and bulk capacitance of the output capacitor:
Board Layout
The high speed operation of the LT3759 demands careful
attention to board layout and component placement. The
exposed pad of the package is the only GND terminal of
the IC, and is important for thermal management of the
IC. Therefore, it is crucial to achieve a good electrical and
thermal contact between the exposed pad and the ground
plane of the board. For the LT3759 to deliver its full output
power, it is imperative that a good thermal path be pro-
vided to dissipate the heat generated within the package.
It is recommended that multiple vias in the printed circuit
board be used to conduct heat away from the IC and into
a copper plane with as much area as possible.

To prevent radiation and high frequency resonance prob-

should be kept as tight as possible to reduce inductive
ringing:

ceramic capacitors are sufficient to limit the output volt-
