DESCRIPTIO  
EATURE  
S
F
The LTC®1148 series is a family of synchronous step-  
down switching regulator controllers featuring automatic  
Burst ModeTM operation to maintain high efficiencies at  
low output currents. These devices drive external comple-  
mentary power MOSFETs at switching frequencies up to  
250kHz using a constant off-time current-mode architec-  
ture providing constant ripple current in the inductor.  
Ultrahigh Efficiency: Over 95% Possible  
Current-Mode Operation for Excellent Line and Load  
Transient Response  
High Efficiency Maintained Over Three Decades of  
Output Current  
Low 160µA Standby Current at Light Loads  
Logic Controlled Micropower Shutdown: IQ < 20µA  
Wide VIN Range: 3.5V* to 20V  
The operating current level is user-programmable via an  
external current sense resistor. Wide input supply range  
allows operation from 3.5V* to 18V (20V maximum).  
Constantoff-timearchitectureprovideslowdropoutregu-  
lation limited by only the RDS(ON) of the external MOSFET  
and resistance of the inductor and current sense resistor.  
Short-Circuit Protection  
Very Low Dropout Operation: 100% Duty Cycle  
Synchronous FET Switching for High Efficiency  
Adaptive Nonoverlap Gate Drives  
Output Can Be Externally Held High in Shutdown  
Available in 14-Pin Narrow SO Package  
The LTC1148 series combines synchronous switching for  
maximum efficiency at high currents with an automatic low  
currentoperatingmode,calledBurstModeoperation,which  
reducesswitchinglosses.Standbypowerisreducedtoonly  
2mWatVIN =10V(atIOUT =0). LoadcurrentsinBurstMode

P-DRIVE (Pin 1): High Current Drive for Top P-Channel  
VFB (Pin 9): For the LTC1148 adjustable version, Pin 9

and LTC1148-5 versions this pin is not used.  
MOSFET. Voltage swing at this pin is from VIN to ground.  
NC (Pin 2): No Connection. Can connect to power ground.  
VIN (Pin 3): Main Supply Pin. Must be closely decoupled  
to power ground Pin 12.  
SHUTDOWN (Pin 10): When grounded, the LTC1148  
series operates normally. Pulling Pin 10 high holds both  
MOSFETs off and puts the LTC1148 series in micropower  
shutdown mode. Requires CMOS logic signal with tR,  
tF < 1µs, should not be left floating.  
CT (Pin 4): External capacitor CT from Pin 4 to ground sets  
the operating frequency. The actual frequency is also  
dependent upon the input voltage.  
INTVCC (Pin 5): Internal Supply Voltage, Nominally 3.3V.  
Can be decoupled to signal ground. Do not externally load  
this pin.  
SGND (Pin 11): Small-Signal Ground. Must be routed  
separately from other grounds to the (–) terminal of COUT  
.
PGND (Pin 12): Driver Power Ground. Connects to source  
of N-channel MOSFET and the (–) terminal of CIN.  
ITH (Pin 6): Gain Amplifier Decoupling Point. The current  
comparator threshold increases with the Pin 6 voltage.  
SENSE(Pin 7): Connects to internal resistive divider  
which sets the output voltage in LTC1148-3.3 and  
LTC1148-5 versions. Pin 7 is also the (–) input for the  
current comparator.  
NC(Pin13):NoConnection.Canconnecttopowerground.  
N-DRIVE (Pin 14): High Current Drive for Bottom  
N-Channel MOSFET. Voltage swing at Pin 14 is from  
ground to VIN.  
SENSE+ (Pin 8): The (+) Input to the Current Comparator.  
A built-in offset between Pins 7 and 8 in conjunction with  
RSENSE sets the current trip threshold.

OPERATIO  
The LTC1148 series uses a current mode, constant off-  
time architecture to synchronously switch an external  
pair of complementary power MOSFETs. Operating fre-  
quency is set by an external capacitor at the timing  
capacitor Pin 4.  
(Pin 6) to increase the current comparator threshold, thus  
tracking the load current.  
The sequence of events for Burst Mode operation is very  
similar to continuous operation with the cycle interrupted  
by the voltage comparator. When the output voltage is at  
orabovethedesiredregulatedvalue,theP-channelMOSFET  
is held off by comparator V and the timing capacitor  
continues to discharge below VTH1. When the timing  
capacitor discharges past VTH2, voltage comparator S  
trips, causing the internal sleep line to go low and the N-  
channel MOSFET to turn off.  
The output voltage is sensed by an internal voltage  
divider connected to SENSEPin 7 (LTC1148-3.3 and  
LTC1148-5) or external divider returned to VFB Pin 9  
(LTC1148). A voltage comparator V, and a gain block G,  
compare the divided output voltage with a reference  
voltage of 1.25V. To optimize efficiency, the LTC1148  
series automatically switches between two modes of  
operation, burst and continuous. The voltage compara-  
tor is the primary control element when the device is in  
Burst Modeoperation, while the gain block controls the  
output voltage in continuous mode.  
The circuit now enters sleep mode with both power  
MOSFETs turned off. In sleep mode, a majority of the  
circuitry is turned off, dropping the quiescent current  
from 1.6mA to 160µA. The load current is now being  
supplied from the output capacitor. When the output  
voltage has dropped by the amount of hysteresis in  
comparator V, the P-channel MOSFET is again turned on  
and the process repeats.  
During the switch “ON” cycle in continuous mode, current  
comparator C monitors the voltage between Pins 7 and 8  
connected across an external shunt in series with the  
inductor. When the voltage across the shunt reaches its  
threshold value, the P-drive output is switched to VIN,  
turning off the P-channel MOSFET. The timing capacitor  
connected to Pin 4 is now allowed to discharge at a rate  
determined by the off-time controller. The discharge cur-  
rent is made proportional to the output voltage (measured  
by Pin 7) to model the inductor current, which decays at  
a rate which is also proportional to the output voltage.  
While the timing capacitor is discharging, the N-drive  
output goes to VIN, turning on the N-channel MOSFET.  
To avoid the operation of the current loop interfering with  
Burst Mode operation, a built-in offset (VOS) is incorpo-  
ratedinthegainstage. Thispreventsthecurrentcompara-  
tor threshold from increasing until the output voltage has  
dropped below a minimum threshold.  
To prevent both the external MOSFETs from ever being  
turned on at the same time, feedback is incorporated to  
sense the state of the driver output pins. Before the  
N-drive output can go high, the P-drive output must also  
be high. Likewise, the P-drive output is prevented from  
going low while the N-drive output is high.  
When the voltage on the timing capacitor has discharged  
past VTH1, comparator T trips, setting the flip-flop. This  
causes the N-drive output to go low (turning off the N-  
channel MOSFET) and the P-drive output to also go low  
(turning the P-channel MOSFET back on). The cycle  
then repeats.  
Using constant off-time architecture, the operating fre-  
quency is a function of the input voltage. To minimize the  
frequencyvariationasdropoutisapproached, theoff-time  
controller increases the discharge current as VIN drops  
below VOUT + 1.5V. In dropout the P-channel MOSFET is  
turned on continuously (100% duty cycle), providing  
extremely low dropout operation.  
As the load current increases, the output voltage de-  
creases slightly. This causes the output of the gain stage

RSENSE Selection for Output Current  
Figure 2. Selecting RSENSE  
RSENSE is chosen based on the required output current.  
The LTC1148 series current comparator has a threshold  
range which extends from a minimum of 25mV/RSENSE to  
a maximum of 150mV/RSENSE. The current comparator  
threshold sets the peak of the inductor ripple current,  
yielding a maximum output current IMAX equal to the peak  
value less half the peak-to-peak ripple current. For proper  
Burst Mode operation, IRIPPLE(P-P) must be less than or  
equal to the minimum current comparator threshold.  
The LTC1148 series automatically extends tOFF during a  
short circuit to allow sufficient time for the inductor  
current to decay between switch cycles. The resulting  
ripple current causes the average short-circuit current  
ISC(AVG) to be reduced to approximately IMAX  
.
L and CT Selection for Operating Frequency  
The LTC1148 series uses a constant off-time architecture  
with tOFF determined by an external timing capacitor CT.  
Each time the P-channel MOSFET switch turns on, the  
voltageonCT isresettoapproximately3.3V. Duringtheoff  
time, CT is discharged by a current which is proportional  
to VOUT. The voltage on CT is analogous to the current in  
inductor L, which likewise decays at a rate proportional to  
VOUT. Thus the inductor value must track the timing  
capacitor value.  
Since efficiency generally increases with ripple current,  
the maximum allowable ripple current is assumed, i.e.,  
IRIPPLE(P-P) = 25mV/RSENSE (See CT and L Selection for  
Operating Frequency). Solving for RSENSE and allowing  
a margin for variations in the LTC1148 series and

but it is very dependent on inductance selected. As induc-

Ferrite designs have very low core loss, so design goals

Ferrite core material saturates “hard,” which means that  
inductance collapses abruptly when the peak design cur-  
rent is exceeded. This results in an abrupt increase in  
inductor ripple current and consequent output voltage  
ripple which can cause Burst Mode operation to be falsely  
triggered. Do not allow the core to saturate!

Kool Mµ (from Magnetics, Inc.) is a very good, low loss

expensive. Toroids are very space efficient, especially  
when you can use several layers of wire. Because they  
generally lack a bobbin, mounting is more difficult. How-

Coiltronics and Beckman Industrial Corp. which do not

VREG is the desired output voltage (i.e., 5V, 3.3V). VOUT is

In surface mount applications multiple capacitors may  
have to be paralleled to meet the capacitance, ESR, or  
RMS current handling requirements of the application.  
Aluminum electrolytic and dry tantalum capacitors are  
both available in surface mount configurations. In the  
case of tantalum, it is critical that the capacitors are surge  
tested for use in switching power supplies. An excellent  
choice is the AVX TPS series of surface mount tantalums,  
available in case heights ranging from 2mm to 4mm. For  
example, if 200µF/10V is called for in an application  
requiring 3mm height, two AVX 100µF/10V (P/N TPSD

current. When a load step occurs, VOUT shifts by an  
amountequalto ILOAD ESR,whereESRistheeffective  
series resistance of COUT. ILOAD also begins to charge  
or discharge COUT until the regulator loop adapts to the  
current change and returns VOUT to its steady state  
value. During this recovery time VOUT can be monitored  
for overshoot or ringing which would indicate a stability  
problem. The Pin 6 external components shown in the  
Figure 1 circuit will prove adequate compensation for  
most applications.  
A second, more severe transient is caused by switching in  
loads with large (>1µF) supply bypass capacitors. The  
dischargedbypasscapacitorsareeffectivelyputinparallel  
with COUT, causing a rapid drop in VOUT. No regulator can  
deliver enough current to prevent this problem if the load  
switch resistance is low and it is driven quickly. The only  
solution is to limit the rise time of the switch drive so that  
the load rise time is limited to approximately 25 CLOAD.  
Thus a 10µF capacitor would require a 250µs rise time,  
limiting the charging current to about 200mA.

The percent efficiency of a switching regulator is equal to

LTC1148 DC supply current is 160µA for no load, and  
increases proportionally with load up to a constant  
1.6mA after the LTC1148 series has entered continu-  
ous mode. Because the DC bias current is drawn from  
VIN, the resulting loss increases with input voltage. For  
VIN = 10V the DC bias losses are generally less than 1%

The gate charge loss is responsible for the majority of  
the efficiency lost in the mid-current region. If Burst  
Mode operation was not employed at low currents, the  
gatechargelossalonewouldcauseefficiencytodropto  
unacceptable levels. With Burst Mode operation, the  
DC supply current represents the lone (and unavoid-  
able) loss component which continues to become a  
higher percentage as output current is reduced. As  
expected,theI2Rlossesdominateathighloadcurrents.  
Note that the gate charge loss increases directly with  
both input voltage and operating frequency. This is the  
principal reason why the highest efficiency circuits  
operate at moderate frequencies. Furthermore, it ar-  
gues against using larger MOSFETs than necessary to  
control I2R losses, since overkill can cost efficiency as  
well as money!  
Other losses including CIN and COUT ESR dissipative  
losses, MOSFET switching losses, Schottky conduction  
losses during dead time, and inductor core losses, gener-  
ally account for less than 2% total additional loss.  
3. I2R losses are easily predicted from the DC resistances  
oftheMOSFET,inductor,andcurrentshunt.Incontinu-  
ous mode the average output current flows through L  
and RSENSE, but is “chopped” between the P-channel  
and N-channel MOSFETs. If the two MOSFETs have  
approximately the same RDS(ON), then the resistance of  
one MOSFET can simply be summed with the resis-  
tances of L and RSENSE to obtain I2R losses. For  
example, if each RDS(ON) = 0.1, RL = 0.15, and  
RSENSE = 0.05, then the total resistance is 0.3. This  
results in losses ranging from 3% to 12% as the output  
current increases from 0.5A to 2A. I2R losses cause the  
efficiency to roll-off at high output currents.  
Design Example  
As a design example, assume VIN = 12V (nominal),  
VOUT = 5V, IMAX = 2A, and f = 200kHz; RSENSE, CT and L  
can immediately be calculated:  
RSENSE = 100mV/2 = 0.05Ω  
tOFF = (1/200kHz)[1 – (5/12)] = 2.92µs  
CT = 2.92µs/[(1.3)(104)] = 220pF  
LMIN = 5.1(  
105)0.05(220pF)5V = 28µH  
Assume that the MOSFET dissipations are to be limited to  
PN = PP = 250mW.  
If TA = 50°C and the thermal resistance of each MOSFET  
is 50°C/W, then the junction temperatures will be 63°C

nique is also useful for eliminating audible noise from  
certain types of inductors in high current (IOUT > 5A)  
applications when they are lightly loaded.  
An external offset is put in series with the SENSEpin to  
subtract from the built-in 25mV offset. An example of this  
technique is shown in Figure 6. Two 100resistors are  
inserted in series with the leads from the sense resistor.  
CIN will require an RMS current rating of at least 1A at  
temperature, and COUT will require an ESR of 0.05for  
optimum efficiency.  
NowallowVIN todroptoitsminimumvalue. Atlowerinput  
voltages the operating frequency will decrease and the  
P-channel will be conducting most of the time, causing its  
power dissipation to increase. At VIN(MIN) = 7V:  
fMIN = (1/2.92µs)[1 – (5V/7V)] = 98kHz

LTC1148 Adjustable Applications  
LTC1148 • F06  
When an output voltage other than 3.3V or 5V is required,  
the LTC1148 adjustable version is used with an external  
resistive divider from VOUT to VFB Pin 9 (see Figure 9). The  
regulated voltage is determined by:

Since efficiency is critical to LTC1148 series applications,  
it is very important to verify that the circuit is functioning  
correctly in both continuous and Burst Mode operation.  
The waveform to monitor is the voltage on the timing  
capacitor Pin 4.  
is also decreased by the same offset. Thus, to get back to  
the same IMAX, the value of the sense resistor must be  
lower:  
75mV  
R
SENSE  
In continuous mode (ILOAD > IBURST) the voltage on the CT  
pin should be a sawtooth with a 0.9VP-P swing. This  
voltage should never dip below 2V as shown in Figure 8a.  
I
MAX  
To prevent noise spikes from erroneously tripping the  
current comparator, a 1000pF capacitor is needed across  
Pins 7 and 8.  
When load currents are low (ILOAD < IBURST) Burst Mode  
operation should occur with the CT pin waveform periodi-  
cally falling to ground as shown in Figure 8b.  
Output Crowbar  
An added feature to using an N-channel MOSFET as the  
synchronous switch is the ability to crowbar the output  
with the same MOSFET. Pulling the timing capacitor Pin  
4 above 1.5V when the output voltage is greater than the  
desired regulated value will turn “on” the N-channel  
MOSFET.

(a) CONTINUOUS MODE OPERATION  
3.3V  
A fault condition which causes the output voltage to go  
above a maximum allowable value can be detected by  
external circuitry. Turning on the N-channel MOSFET  
when this fault is detected will cause large currents to flow  
and blow the system fuse.

Figure 8. CT Waveforms  
If Pin 4 is observed falling to ground at high output  
currents,itindicatespoordecouplingorimproperground-  
ing. Refer to the Board Layout Checklist.  
The N-channel MOSFET needs to be sized so it will safely  
handle this overcurrent condition. The typical delay from  
pulling the CT pin high and the N drive Pin 14 going high  
is 250ns. Note: Under shutdown conditions, the N-chan-  
nel is held OFF and pulling the CT pin high will not cause  
the N-channel MOSFET to crowbar the output.  
A simple N-channel FET can be used as an interface  
between the overvoltage detect circuitry and the LTC1148  
as shown in Figure 7.

Board Layout Checklist  
When laying out the printed circuit board, the following  
checklist should be used to ensure proper operation of the  
LTC1148 series. These items are also illustrated graphi-  
cally in the layout diagram of Figure 9. Check the following  
in your layout:
