FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
Low Ripple Burst Mode® Operation  
The LT®3990 is an adjustable frequency monolithic buck  
switching regulator that accepts a wide input voltage  
range up to 62V, and consumes only 2.5µA of quiescent  
current. A high efficiency switch is included on the die  
along with the catch diode, boost diode, and the neces-  
saryoscillator, controlandlogiccircuitry. LowrippleBurst  
Mode operation maintains high efficiency at low output  
currents while keeping the output ripple below 5mV in a  
typical application. Current mode topology is used for fast  
transient response and good loop stability. A catch diode  
current limit provides protection against shorted outputs  
and overvoltage conditions. An accurate programmable  
undervoltage lockout feature is available, producing a low  
shutdowncurrentof0.7µA.Apowergoodagsignalswhen

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 device  
reliability and lifetime.  
Note 3: Bias current flows into the FB pin.  
Note 4: This is the minimum voltage across the boost capacitor needed to  
guarantee full saturation of the switch.  
Note 2: The LT3990E 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  
LT3990I is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction  
temperature range. The LT3990H is guaranteed over the full –40°C to  
150°C operating junction temperature range. High junction temperatures  
degrade operating lifetimes. Operating lifetime is derated at junction  
temperatures greater than 125°C.

OPERATION  
The LT3990 is a constant frequency, current mode step-  
down regulator. An oscillator, with frequency set by RT,  
sets an RS flip-flop, turning on the internal power switch.  
An amplifier and comparator monitor the current flowing  
If the EN/UVLO pin is low, the LT3990 is shut down and  
draws 0.7µA from the input. When the EN/UVLO pin ex-  
ceeds 1.19V, the switching regulator will become active.  
The switch driver operates from either V or from the  
IN  
between the V and SW pins, turning the switch off when

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 operation.  
this current reaches a level determined by the voltage at  
V (see Block Diagram). An error amplifier measures the  
C
output voltage through an external resistor divider tied to  
the FB pin and servos the V node. If the error amplifier’s

switches to Burst Mode operation in light load situations.  
Between bursts, all circuitry associated with controlling

output increases, more current is delivered to the output;  
if it decreases, less current is delivered.  
Anothercomparatormonitorsthecurrentowingthrough  
thecatchdiodeandreducestheoperatingfrequencywhen  
the current exceeds the 450mA bottom current limit. This  
foldback in frequency helps to control the output current  
in fault conditions such as a shorted output with high  
input voltage. Maximum deliverable current to the output  
is therefore limited by both switch current limit and catch  
diode current limit.  
The LT3990 contains a power good comparator which  
trips when the FB pin is at 90% of its regulated value. The  
PG output is an open-drain 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 the LT3990 is  
enabled and V is above 4.2V.  
IN  
An internal regulator provides power to the control cir-  
cuitry. The bias regulator normally draws power from  
the V pin, but if the BD pin is connected to an external  
IN  
voltage higher than 3.2V, bias power will be drawn from  
theexternalsource(typicallytheregulatedoutputvoltage).  
This improves efficiency.

Lower frequency also allows a lower dropout voltage.  
The input voltage range depends on the switching fre-  
quency because the LT3990 switch has finite minimum  
on and off times. The switch can turn off for a minimum  
of ~160ns but the minimum on-time is a strong function  
of temperature. Use the minimum switch on-time curve  
(see Typical Performance Characteristics) to design for  
an application’s maximum temperature, while adding  
about 30% for part-to-part variation. The minimum and  
maximum duty cycles that can be achieved taking these

This simple design guide will not always result in the  
optimum inductor selection for a given application. As a  
general rule, lower output voltages and higher switching  
frequency will require smaller inductor values. If the ap-  
plication requires less than 350mA load current, then a  
lesser inductor value may be acceptable. This allows use  
of a physically smaller inductor, or one with a lower DCR  
resulting in higher efficiency. There are several graphs in  
theTypicalPerformanceCharacteristicssectionofthisdata  
sheet that show the maximum load current as a function  
of input voltage for several popular output voltages. Low  
inductance may result in discontinuous mode operation,  
which is acceptable but reduces maximum load current.

A physically larger capacitor or one with a higher voltage  
rating may be required. Table 3 lists several capacitor

Output Capacitor and Output Ripple  
The output capacitor has two essential functions. It stores  
energy in order to satisfy transient loads and stabilize the  
LT3990’s control loop. Ceramic capacitors have very low  
equivalent series resistance (ESR) and provide the best  
ripple performance. A good starting value is:

Ceramic Capacitors  
Ceramic capacitors are small, robust and have very low  
ESR. However, ceramic capacitors can cause problems  
whenusedwiththeLT3990duetotheirpiezoelectricnature.  
When in Burst Mode operation, the LT3990’s switching  
frequency depends on the load current, and at very light  
loads the LT3990 can excite the ceramic capacitor at audio  
frequencies, generating audible noise. Since the LT3990

A final precaution regarding ceramic capacitors concerns  
the maximum input voltage rating of the LT3990. As pre-  
viously mentioned, a ceramic input capacitor combined  
with trace or cable inductance forms a high quality (under  
damped)tankcircuit. IftheLT3990circuitispluggedintoa

low ripple Burst Mode is seamless, and will not disturb  
the output voltage.  
BOOST and BD 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 two ways to ar-  
range the boost circuit. The BOOST pin must be more than  
1.9V above the SW pin for best efficiency. For outputs of  
2.2V and above, the standard circuit (Figure 4a) is best.  
For outputs between 2.2V and 2.5V, use a 0.47µF boost  
capacitor. For output voltages below 2.2V, the boost diode  
can be tied to the input (Figure 4b), or to another external  
supply greater than 2.2V. However, the circuit in Figure 4a  
is more efficient because the BOOST pin current and BD  
pin quiescent current come from a lower voltage source.  
Also, be sure that the maximum voltage ratings of the  
BOOST and BD pins are not exceeded.  
Astheloadcurrentdecreasestowardsanoloadcondition,  
the percentage of time that the LT3990 operates in sleep  
mode increases and the average input current is greatly  
reduced resulting inhigh efficiencyevenatvery lowloads.  
Note that during Burst Mode operation, the switching  
frequency will be lower than the programmed switching  
frequency. See Figure 3.

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 volt-  
ages, 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

This threshold is accurate when V is above 4.2V. If V

Figure 7. Diode D4 Prevents a Shorted Input from Discharging a  
Backup Battery Tied to the Output. It Also Protects the Circuit from  
a Reversed Input. The LT3990 Runs Only when the Input Is Present  
If the inductor is chosen so that it won’t saturate exces-  
sively, a LT3990 buck regulator will tolerate a shorted  
output. There is another situation to consider in systems  
where the output will be held high when the input to the  
LT3990 is absent. This may occur in battery charging ap-  
plications or in battery backup systems where a battery  
or some other supply is diode ORed with the LT3990’s

the circuit board, and their connections should be made  
on that layer. Place a local, unbroken ground plane below  
these components. The SW and BOOST nodes should be  
as small as possible. Finally, keep the FB nodes small so  
that the ground traces will shield them from the SW and  
BOOST nodes. The exposed pad on the bottom 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 LT3990 to additional ground planes within the circuit  
board and on the bottom side.

PCB Layout  
For proper operation and minimum EMI, care must  
be taken during printed circuit board layout. Figure 8  
shows the recommended component placement with  
trace, ground plane and via locations. Note that large,  
switched currents flow in the LT3990’s V and SW pins,

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
Hot Plugging Safely  
Power dissipation within the LT3990 can be estimated by  
calculatingthetotalpowerlossfromanefficiencymeasure-  
ment and subtracting inductor loss. The die temperature  
is calculated by multiplying the LT3990 power dissipation  
by the thermal resistance from junction to ambient.  
The small size, robustness and low impedance of ceramic  
capacitors make them an attractive option for the input  
bypass capacitor of LT3990 circuits. However, these ca-  
pacitors can cause problems if the LT3990 is plugged into  
a live supply. 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  
Finally, be aware that at high ambient temperatures the  
internalSchottkydiodewillhavesignificantleakagecurrent  
(see Typical Performance Characteristics) increasing the  
quiescent current of the LT3990 converter.  
the V pin of the LT3990 can ring to twice the nominal  
IN  
input voltage, possibly exceeding the LT3990’s rating and  
damaging the part. If the input supply is poorly controlled  
or the user will be plugging the LT3990 into an energized  
supply, the input network should be designed to prevent  
thisovershoot.SeeLinearTechnologyApplicationNote 88  
for a complete discussion.  
Fault Tolerance  
The LT3990 regulator in the MSOP package is designed to  
tolerate single fault conditions. Shorting any two adjacent  
pins together or leaving any one single pin floating does  
not raise V  
above the programmed value or cause  
OUT  
damage to the part.  
High Temperature Considerations  
The NC pins are not connected to internal circuitry and  
must be left floating to ensure fault tolerance.  
For higher ambient temperatures, care should be taken in  
the layout of the PCB to ensure good heat sinking of the  
LT3990. The exposed pad on the bottom must be soldered  
to a ground plane. This ground should be tied to large  
copper layers below with thermal vias; these layers will  
spreadtheheatdissipatedbytheLT3990.Placingadditional  
vias can reduce thermal resistance further. The maximum  
loadcurrentshouldbederatedastheambienttemperature  
approaches the maximum junction rating.  
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.
